A Missouri Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond is one of the most important licensure requirements for motor vehicle dealers in Missouri.

 

One of the surety bond’s conditions is to ensure the compliance of the licensed motor vehicle dealer to the laws and rules that govern motor vehicle dealers in Missouri.

 

The surety bond will also serve as a financial protection tool for the licensed motor vehicle dealer’s clients. If the licensed motor vehicle dealer suddenly defaults on his duties, the client will be rightfully compensated through the surety bond.

 

The prerequisite is in line with Section 301.560 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
