New York Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond: The Purpose of this Surety Bond

 

 

 

The purpose of the New York auto dealer bond is to protect the public, your customers, from acts of fraud, theft, or criminal misconduct on the part of a licensed vehicle dealer in the performance of their professional duties.

The bond’s purpose is strictly for the protection of the public; it is not a protection at all for the vehicle dealer, though it is required for licensing.

Should a claim ever be paid on your motor vehicle surety bond, it is the legal responsibility of you, as the bond's principal, to reimburse the surety for all costs involved in satisfying the claim.
