Broward County, FL Rental Car Concession and Lease Bond
Overview
Broward County requires rental car operators to post a Rental Car Concession and Lease Bond before conducting business on county-controlled property. This bond protects Broward County's financial interests by guaranteeing that the concessionaire fulfills all terms of their lease and concession agreement. If the operator fails to pay fees, damages property, or violates contract terms, the county can make a claim against the bond for recovery. It is a direct financial guarantee tied to your specific concession contract with the county.
Who Needs This Bond?
Rental car companies and operators holding a concession agreement or lease with Broward County, Florida are the primary applicants for this bond. If your business rents vehicles on county property — most commonly at or near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport or another county-managed facility — this bond is required. It applies whether you are a national brand operating a franchise location or an independent rental car operator with a county-issued concession. Your contract with Broward County will specify the bond requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a rental car concessionaire will honor every financial and operational obligation in their lease and concession agreement with Broward County. That includes timely payment of concession fees, rent, and other charges owed to the county under the contract. If the operator defaults, abandons the concession, or causes uncompensated financial harm to the county, the bond provides a mechanism for recovery. It is not consumer protection — it is a contract performance guarantee running directly between the operator and Broward County.
When is it Required?
Execution of a rental car concession or lease agreement with Broward County triggers the bond requirement. Before you are permitted to begin operating under the agreement, the county must receive a properly issued surety bond in the amount specified by your contract. Renewals or amendments to an existing concession may also require a new or updated bond. You cannot legally operate under the concession without this bond in place.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within Broward County, Florida, and is a county-level requirement — not a state license obligation. It is tied to the specific property and agreement governed by Broward County. Operations outside county-controlled facilities under a separate agreement are not covered by this bond.
