How Does a North Carolina Motor Club Bond Work?
A motor club bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the motor club owner(s) filing the bond
- Obligee: The Department of Insurance requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of North Carolina General Statutes §58-69-10.
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 on June 1st. To renew your motor club bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
