I have been working with Steve Shike and he has been so helpful. I purchased the wrong bond and Steve instantly requested a refund on my behalf and called back with the good news.

Katrina and Surety Solutions was awesome to work with and made the process seamless. Even after I, PERSONALLY, made a mistake and caused a delay, Katrina was able to spot my mistake and kindly address the error while still delivering my bond as if nothing had happened.I have nothing but good things to say about Surety Solutions.

Katrina and Surety Solutions were very helpful and fast. I needed to change the bond I ordered and they handled that within minutes. Their response time to emails and request were great and that is why I will continue to work them both. All I ask for is relatively decent response time when there are issues that need resolved and Katrina far exceeded that and was friendly on top of everything else. Well done.Kris

I bought a surety bond for my business. The name on the application has my middle name on it and the policy didn't. That would or could have created a problem. I wrote to customer service to complain. Well not complain but ask for it to be changed. Since it was Thanksgiving weekend I wasn't expecting to hear back till this week sometime. Well to my surprise it was "Very" Quickly. JD was very helpful and professional. Fixed it then contacted me with the corrected version. Couldn't be happier. " Good Business is Good Business"

Surety Solutions is a fantastic company to work with. I was in a unique situation and was having trouble finding a company willing to underwrite an estate conservatorship bond for me. Surety Solutions took the time to listen to me and shopped around with their underwriters and found someone willing to underwrite the bond. Having to experience the probate system is a major headache; however, Surety Solutions makes sure the bonding portion of it does not have to be 🙂

My experience with Surety Solutions agent (Katrina) was professional, solution-driven and responsive throughout the whole process. From applying for a bond quote to purchasing and receiving the bond was simple and efficient. My questions were answered promptly with upbeat attitude and patience. Customer service definitely exceeded beyond my expectations. I would certainly use their service again in the future.

I worked with Cryssi at Surety Solutions in order to secure a $900,000 conservator bond. Their quote was by far the best out of several companies I requested quotes through ($2,110 vs. $3,500). Cryssi was always very helpful and responded very quickly during business hours and often during after hours via email. I will continue to work with and renew with their company especially if their quotes and customer service remain this excellent. Thank you again! MikeSo just an update to my original post. It was time to renew the conservator bond this year and Cryssi at Surety Solutions made the process extremely streamlined and convenient. I received an email stating it was time to renew the bond with a link to pay online. My rate didn't change at all and it took about 30 seconds to renew my bond. This has been an easy, convenient, and one of the most affordable companies to work with. Some of the best customer service in the market which is sometimes hard to find these days! Thank you again for an affordable quote which was seamless to renew. Thank you Cryssi!

Beau was super helpful when I had questions about buying a used car from a seller with an unusual title situation. I have not bought a used car before, so it was very reassuring to talk through my concerns about the situations and the safest ways to move forward. He thoughtfully responded to my inquiries without pestering for my contact info or trying to sell me products - such customer service is hard to find these days! Thank you!

I had been dreading the red-tape of obtaining a surety bond for a lost vehicle title. I had just obtained a quote from another company online and was not pleased with the price. Surety Solutions was less expensive---by far---and their service was outstanding: efficient and polite. The quote was obtained, approval given, and the transaction was complete in a just a couple of hours. I could not be more pleased!

WOW! I am so glad I found this site. I called a local company and they wanted me to fill out and email so much information. With this company it was all online and easy and super fast. I also messed up and put the wrong expiration date and it was so easy to chat online and fix it. I paid for the faster shipping which is 2 business days, its so worth it. Thanks again Surety Solutions and to Beau who I was chatting with online, you were awesome.

Great people skills come to mind when I think of this company, Stevie and Brad were really nice and helpful, I spoke with Stevie first and she really nice especially with the day i was having trying to get the car legal and it seemed as if everywhere I went everyone was rude and snobby but she was genuinely nice and gave me hope that there was a chance I could get my car legalized finally. Her customer service was awesome and I want to thank you both. I spoke with Brad today and his energy was just as great as hers. You guys are AWESOME

Surety Bonds Made Easy
It’s my first time getting a bond. How does this work?
If you’ve never bought a surety bond before, you’ve come to the right place.
We designed our online application system to walk you through the inquiry and application process quickly and easily. With thousands of bond types available across all 50 states, many clients are able to purchase their bond the same day they apply.
To start your application, all you’ll need is your bond type, state and amount. Most bond types display an instant estimate with no additional information required.
A completed application will need more specific information. Depending on the type of bond you need, this information will change. For example, a Mortgage Loan Originator Bond application requires an NMLS ID number to be included on the bond.
If you don’t have all the necessary information, you can save your application at any time and return later.
What type of surety bond do I need? What is my bond amount?
Many new surety bond clients are confused about what type of bond they need and what their bond amount should be. The best place to start to answer these questions is to consider why you’re getting the bond and who is requiring you to have a bond.
The party requiring you to get a Surety Bond is known as the “Obligee”. This is the party who set the requirement or obligation – both for the type of bond and the amount needed.
That’s why the quickest and most accurate way to determine your bond type and amount is to contact the “Obligee,” or the party requiring you to get a surety bond.
For example, anyone opening a car dealership in Florida is required by the state to get a Florida Dealer License. Part of the requirements to be licensed is to have a surety bond.
Since this requirement is set by the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles, that makes them the Obligee. Depending on the type of vehicle you plan on selling, you’ll need a specific bond type and amount to meet the state’s requirements.
On the other hand, some bonds, including janitorial, dishonesty, fidelity and theft bonds don’t have an Obligee or a set bond amount. In these cases, business owners are free to determine the amount of coverage that best fits their business needs.
Bonds of this type are typically purchased by cleaning companies, contractors and service providers to protect against employee theft. They are also instant-issue, which means you can purchase online and become bonded in a matter of minutes.

How much does a surety bond cost?
A common misconception is the cost of a surety bond is the same as the bond amount. Fortunately, this is not the case. You won’t have to pay the full bond amount to get your surety bond. In fact, most of our clients pay between 1-5% of their total bond amount for their bonds.
For example, if you require a $25,000 surety bond and get quoted at a 1% rate, the cost of your bond is $250.
Your bond cost is largely dependent on your credit score. However, other criteria are used to determine surety bond costs.
The Bond Type: Some bonds have a larger risk factor associated with them.
The Bond Amount: The larger the bond amount, the more expensive the bond.
Applicant’s Risk Level: This includes your credit score, financial history, character, etc.
