How Much Does a California Seller of Travel Bond Cost?

The cost of a California seller of travel bond starts at $100 and may be $2,000 or more. The bond amount is based on the amount of customers’ funds that the travel agency holds. However, you can buy your surety bond for a bond premium rather than the full penal sum.

As a trusted surety company serving California’s bond needs, we provide bond rates of 1% to 10%. We have provided bonds to our valued customers for over 10 years. The bond rate you receive is based on your professional credentials, financial assets and credit rating.

We work with applicants with all credit scores and provide bonds to over 99% of our customers. A rate of 1% to 3% is available if you have a credit score of 700 or higher.

Seller of Travel Bond Requirements in California

The seller of travel bond, which is also referred to as the California travel agency bond, is required for all individuals and businesses selling travel services in the state. This bond protects consumers from violations of the California Business and Professions Code. An adequate bond must be issued by an admitted surety insurer and maintained at an amount equal to the required trust account balance under Section 17550.15. This ensures compensation for passengers who suffer monetary losses due to violations by the seller or their employees.

The obligee for the seller of travel bond is the State of California. The bond is continuous and remains in force for all accrued liabilities until it is canceled. 

A travel agency must maintain the bond to continue doing business legally. To support you with the maintenance of your bond, we will send you annual payment reminders for the bond premium.
