The Basics

What Is a Driving School Bond?

A driving school bond (also called a driver training school bond or driving instructor bond) is a state-required surety bond that guarantees driving schools operate ethically, follow licensing laws, and protect students from financial harm.

This bond protects the public from:

Misrepresentation of training services
Failure to provide paid instruction
Improper handling of tuition or fees
Violations of state driver-education laws
Fraud or misconduct by instructors or staff

If you're applying for or renewing a driving school license, your state may require this bond before granting approval.
