Motor Vehicle Dealers - New or New and Used Vehicles

The Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Dealer/Manufacturer bond is a surety bond required by the State of Pennsylvania for businesses engaged in the sale of new or used motor vehicles. This bond ensures that dealers and manufacturers comply with state regulations and conduct their business operations in accordance with Pennsylvania motor vehicle laws.

Motor vehicle dealers and manufacturers operating in Pennsylvania must obtain this bond as part of their licensing requirements.

The bond protects the State of Pennsylvania and consumers from financial losses that may result from the dealer's or manufacturer's failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations. This includes protection against fraudulent practices, failure to transfer titles properly, or other violations of motor vehicle dealer regulations.

The bond amount is set at $20,000 and has a term length of one year. The bond is renewable annually to maintain continuous coverage and licensing compliance. This bond is eligible for instant approval, allowing qualified applicants to obtain coverage quickly to meet their licensing requirements.
