A Concessionaire Surety Bond ensures that a concession operator fulfills their obligations under a concession agreement. These obligations may include paying rent or percentage fees, maintaining operations, meeting service standards, and returning property in good condition.

If the concessionaire fails to meet these requirements, the property owner or governing authority may file a claim against the bond.

Concessionaire Bond premiums typically range from 1%–5% of the bond amount annually, depending on:

Required bond amount
Length of the concession contract
Financial strength of the concessionaire
Type of goods or services provided
Example:
A $50,000 Concessionaire Bond may cost between $500 and $2,500 per year.

Concessionaire Bonds involve three parties:

Principal: The concession operator
Obligee: The property owner or governing authority
Surety: The bonding company issuing the bond
If the concessionaire fails to meet contractual obligations, a claim may be filed. The surety pays valid claims, and the concessionaire must reimburse the surety.
