How Does a Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Bond Work?
An aviation authority bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the rental vehicle business owner filing the bond
- Obligee: The Hillsborough County Aviation Authority requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of the Use and Permit Agreement for Off-Airport Rental Car Concession at Tampa International Airport.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your aviation authority bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
