Individuals and businesses that sell, market, or arrange travel services may need to get bonded to register as travel sellers in California.

Cost of a California Seller of Travel Bond
The cost of a California seller of travel bond is typically a small percentage of the bond amount, which varies based on your business activity and risk factors.
How the California Seller of Travel Bond Works
The California surety bond creates a legally binding agreement among three parties:
- Principal: Seller of travel (you)
- Obligee: California Attorney General’s Office
- Surety: Bonding company
The bond protects consumers by ensuring accountability and financial responsibility in the sale of travel services. A consumer or the state may file a claim against your bond, in which case the surety will investigate it. If valid, the surety reimburses the claimant, and you’re responsible for repaying the surety for any claims paid out.
