The bond premium is a fee paid to the bonding company that is non-refundable in addition to any security for the indemnity liability to the surety and in addition to any indemnity liability itself to the surety. It is a service fee.

Mar 22, 2020 at 20:35 comment added Dale M @VMMF as I said, they cost less $30,000 insurance premium vs $800 bond premium.
