The price of a bail bond may differ by state, or even by county, within each state.

A premium, also known as a non-refundable fee, is typically charged by a bail bond business for the service of posting bail. Typically, this cost represents 10% of the total bail amount. Therefore, the premium on a $20,000 bail would be $2,000. A cosigner or other kind of collateral may also be needed by some bail bond businesses to secure the bond. For exact pricing details, it is best to get in touch with a bail bond business in your area.
