Summary

An Idaho MVD bond, also known as a Motor Vehicle Dealer bond, is a type of surety bond that is required by the Idaho Transportation Department for individuals or businesses that want to obtain or renew a motor vehicle dealer license. The bond serves as a form of protection for customers against any fraudulent or unethical practices by the motor vehicle dealer. If a dealer engages in such practices, a customer may file a claim against the bond to seek compensation for any resulting damages. The bond amount required by the Idaho MVD may vary based on the type of license and the dealer's history, and the bond must be renewed periodically to maintain the dealer's license.
