The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles requires the Virginia Household Goods Carrier Bond. This is for a person who transports only household goods. A household good can be personal effects and property used or to be used in a dwelling, when transported or arranged to be transported between residences or between a residence and a storage facility with the intent to later transport to a residence.

In addition to the surety bond, applicants must also submit a $750,000 Bodily Injury and Property Damage insurance.

What is the purpose of a Virginia Household Goods Carrier Bond?

Unlike insurance, the Virginia Household Goods Carrier Bond is to protect your clients from any harm or wrongdoing by your company. If there is a claim placed on your bond and you are found at fault, the surety company will issue a payout which you will need to pay back in full. This bond is required to be in the amount of $50,000 dollars. However, it will not cost that much to obtain. Surety1 can write this bond for as low as 1% of the bond amount.
