Do You Offer Bail Bond Payment Plans?

We often get asked whether or not we can provide some sort of payment plan. The simple answer: Yes, we can—and yes, we do.

Further, if you’re interested in financing your bond, you first need to apply for a bond. You can easily and conveniently do this either online or by phone—whichever works for you. What's best about our services is that approval for bail bond payment plans often happens quickly, within minutes, depending on the particulars of your case. Additionally, we always supply free price quotes.

In most cases, there is no need for collateral or a credit check; your job is your credit. Also, for homeowners, we typically offer a no-money-down bail bond financing option.  

How Much Does It Cost for a Bond?

In California, the price of a bail bond is determined by various factors, including location, the nature of the charge, and prior offenses. However, in most cases, the cost of the bond is between seven and ten percent of the bail amount.

As stated above, we supply free price quotes, as well as payment plans, and there is rarely a need for collateral. Also, we proudly offer discounts for all members of the military. Specifically, these discounts are available to all military members —both active and retired—as well as to their loved ones. Of course, discounts vary depending on circumstances (for example, the nature of the case), but we guarantee that we can beat anyone's bond price for military members.

What Are the Different Types of Bail Bonds in California?

There a quite a few different types of bail bonds in California, including:

  • Cash Bond—Bail is paid for in full with cash, a certified check, credit or debit card, or a money order
  • Surety Bond—A surety bond refers to when a family or friend contacts a bail bond agency to help get a defendant out of jail via a bond
  • Property Bond—Property is pledged to the court on behalf of the defendant, much like a lien, and held until the end of the case
  • Own Recognizance—When a judge allows the defendant to be released from jail without bail
  • Federal Immigration—Federal bonds are necessary when a defendant is detained by the Immigration and Naturalization Service; these bonds have the highest bail bond fee percentage

Once you contact us for your free price quote, we can discuss in more detail the type of bond that is most appropriate for you and your case.

How Do Bail Bonds Actually Work?

The bail process can seem complex, so we're going to try and break it down as simply as possible.

Bail bond agencies, like 24 Hour Online Bail Bonds, are generally open or at least available for you to contact twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This makes sense, as arrests can happen at all times—day or night.

After it’s been determined that a bail bond will be used to get the defendant out of jail, paperwork will need to be signed. This paperwork details the collateral used to purchase the bond, the fees involved, and who is responsible for ensuring the defendant shows up to all court proceedings.

For the bail agent to set up the bond, the agent will need the full name of the defendant, the booking number, the charge or charges the defendant is facing, and the location of the jail. Then, the bail agent will bond the defendant out of jail. This entire process can take several hours, depending on how busy the jail is.

If the defendant fails to show up to his or her court proceedings, the person who took out the bail bond stands to lose their collateral and faces additional penalties.
