How much does a surety bond in Idaho cost?
The cost of a bond can vary based on a few different factors, including the type of bond, the amount required, and your credit score and finances. Your bond premium will be a small percentage of the total bond amount – typically 1-3%.
Generally, the stronger your credit score, the lower your rate will be. In some cases, however, we don’t even need to run your credit. Some bonds can be issued instantly at a flat rate.
