A Travel Agency Bond is a type of license and permit bond required by various states and jurisdictions to ensure that travel agencies handle client funds responsibly and comply with applicable laws. The bond protects consumers from potential fraud or misconduct, making it a crucial part of your licensing requirements.

Why You Need a Travel Agency Bond

In many states, you cannot legally operate a travel agency without securing a Travel Agency Bond. This bond acts as a financial guarantee to your clients and state regulators that your agency will fulfill its obligations, properly handle deposits and payments, and comply with state laws and regulations. Should any violations occur, a claim can be made against the bond to recover losses, giving consumers peace of mind when booking through your agency.

Who Needs a Travel Agency Bond?

If your business arranges travel, collects payments, or sells travel-related services on behalf of clients, chances are you need a Travel Agency Bond. State agencies and industry regulators require this bond as a form of consumer protection. This includes traditional travel agencies, online travel agencies (OTAs), tour operators, and consolidators. Requirements vary by state, and Blaikie Group is here to ensure you meet your specific state guidelines quickly and accurately.

How Much Does a Travel Agency Bond Cost?

The premium for a Travel Agency Bond depends on several factors, including the bond amount required by your state, your personal credit score, and your business experience. Typically, premiums range from 1% to 5% of the total bond amount for qualified applicants. At Blaikie Group, we leverage our national buying power to ensure you receive the most favorable pricing on your Travel Agency Bond.

Each state has its own requirements for Travel Agency Bonds. For example:

• California – Requires travel agencies to register with the California Seller of Travel (CST) program, which includes a mandatory Travel Agency Bond.
• Florida – Enforces bonding requirements for agencies selling travel or vacation certificates.
• Washington – Travel sellers must maintain a Travel Agency Bond as part of their licensing compliance.
