Surety Bond: Fast, Affordable, and Online Across the U.S.

If you need a surety bond in the United States, you’ve come to the right place. At CoverToday Insurance Agency, we make the process quick, easy, and affordable. Most applicants can purchase a surety bond online in just 5 minutes. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about surety bonds, including their purpose, costs, and how to get one today.

What Is a Surety Bond? 

A surety bond is a financial guarantee that ensures specific obligations will be fulfilled according to agreed-upon terms. These bonds protect consumers and government entities from fraud, malpractice, or non-compliance. They’re often required for businesses to obtain licenses or permits, ensuring accountability and trustworthiness.

Who Needs a Surety Bond? Many industries and individuals across the U.S. require surety bonds, including:

  • Contractors: To meet licensing requirements and guarantee project completion.

  • Auto Dealers: To ensure compliance with state regulations.

  • Notaries: To protect the public from notarial misconduct.

  • Freight Brokers: To secure payment obligations to shippers and carriers.

  • Business Owners: For various licenses, such as alcohol permits or employment agencies.

Whether you’re starting a new business or maintaining compliance, our team can help you get bonded quickly.

How Much Does a Surety Bond Cost? The cost of a surety bond typically ranges from 1% to 10% of the total bond amount. For example, if you need a $10,000 bond, your premium could be as low as $100. Several factors determine the exact cost, including:

  • Bond Amount: Higher bond amounts generally have higher premiums.

  • Bond Type: Some bonds have a fixed rate, while others may require detailed underwriting.

  • Personal Credit Score: A higher credit score can help secure a lower premium.

  • Professional Experience: Established businesses or professionals may qualify for better rates.

  • Business Financials: Strong financial stability can reduce risk and lower costs.

  • Assets & Liquidity: Demonstrating sufficient assets can help reduce premiums.

Getting an online quote is the fastest way to determine your exact cost. We specialize in finding the lowest rates, regardless of your situation.

CoverToday Insurance Agency, LLC – Compensation Disclosure

CoverToday Insurance Agency, LLC (“CoverToday”) is committed to transparency in how we are compensated for the insurance brokerage and related services we provide. We work with clients, retail agents, brokers, and insurance carriers to offer a range of insurance solutions. Our compensation comes in various forms, including commissions, contingency income, and, in some cases, fees paid by clients or third parties. Below is an outline of how we are compensated.

Commission Income
We receive commissions from insurance carriers or managing general agents for placing and servicing insurance policies. Commissions are typically calculated as a percentage of the premium paid by the insured and are included in the total premium amount. Employees or representatives of CoverToday involved in policy placement and servicing may receive compensation that varies based on the commissions we earn.

Contingency Income
CoverToday may receive additional compensation through contingency agreements with insurance carriers or managing general agents. These payments depend on various factors, including premium volume, policy retention, underwriting profitability, and claims history. Since contingency income is calculated based on overall business performance rather than individual policies, there is no direct way to determine how a specific insurance policy affects these payments.

Supplemental Commissions
Some insurance companies provide supplemental commissions, which are predetermined, fixed payments based on historical performance metrics similar to those used for contingency income. These supplemental commissions, sometimes referred to as “Guaranteed Supplemental Commissions” (GSCs), are typically negotiated annually and are not contingent on future performance.

Fees Paid by Clients
In some cases, particularly for business insurance or complex insurance programs, CoverToday may charge clients a fee in addition to or instead of commissions. These fees are mutually agreed upon in advance and disclosed to the client before coverage is bound. In certain situations, we may receive both commissions and client-paid fees for placement or additional services, such as risk management or policy administration.

Wholesale Operations
CoverToday may place insurance through wholesale brokers or managing general agents (MGAs), including those affiliated with us. In such cases, both the wholesale broker and CoverToday may earn commissions. Wholesale brokers and MGAs provide access to specialized insurance markets not available through standard retail brokerage channels. These transactions do not typically impact the total premium paid by the insured.

Other Compensation and Benefits
CoverToday may receive additional revenue or benefits in connection with our insurance brokerage services, including:

  • Payments from insurance carriers for training, marketing, or promotional events

  • Fees or interest from the administration of premium finance contracts

  • Interest earned on fiduciary or trust accounts where insurance premiums are temporarily held before remittance to carriers

  • Compensation for policy administration, claims services, or loss control support

Carrier Relationships and Preferred Markets
While CoverToday works with a broad range of insurance carriers, we may prioritize strategic relationships with certain insurers that provide competitive pricing, enhanced service, and long-term benefits to our clients. These preferred carriers may offer additional compensation, which we use to invest in technology, training, and improved client services. In some cases, our employees may be incentivized to consider preferred carriers when suitable for a client’s needs. CoverToday representatives may also participate in advisory boards or committees for select carriers to enhance collaboration and service offerings.

We are committed to providing full disclosure and transparency regarding our compensation practices. If you have any questions about how CoverToday is compensated for your policy, please contact us for more information.
