California State Bail Rate
The premium you pay for a bail bond in California is set by the Department of Insurance at 10% of the total bail amount. This is the same legal rate charged by every licensed bail agent in the state. A $15,000 bail requires a $1,500 premium.
Some qualified applicants may be eligible for the 8% rate. Ask our agent when you call.

- The full name of the person in custody and their date of birth
- The name of the facility they are being held at
- The booking number or bail amount (if you have it we can look it up)

That is all it takes. Call (209) 400-2245 and we handle everything else.
