In most cases, the cost of the bail bond, which is called the premium, is 10% of the bail bond amount. The amount of money a bail company can charge is regulated by the California Department of Insurance.  Every bail company must charge the published rates. For example, if the bail is set at $25,000, then the fee charged is $2500, no more and no less by law.  We are one of the few companies in California who are authorized to provide bail bonds at 8% in certain circumstances. Call us anytime to see if you qualify for this reduced rate.

If you don't have the entire premium available up front, often times, we can arrange for you to make payments on the premium. Please call and we can explain this more fully to you, answer your questions and tailor a solution to your particular situation.

The money you pay for the cost of the bail bond, the premium, is non-refundable. This is the fee charged by the bail bond company to post the full amount of bail with the jail or court.

Two situations can confuse people into thinking they can get the premium back.

1. If you post the full amount in cash with the jail/court, the cash bail is returned to you by the court typically 6-8 weeks after the bond is exonerated.
2. Sometimes the court personnel mistakenly assumes that the bail bond company has taken cash for collateral and they tell people that their bond is exonerated and they can go get their money back from the bail bond company.
