If a friend or loved one has been arrested, you will probably need a reliable bail bond company to help guide you through the bail process. Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing a bail bond company.
1. No Money Down?: If a bail bond
company is offering you ‘no money down’, disregard the company. Bond amount is actually a set fee which is
the same across the state. Thus, these
‘no money down’ companies might have a hidden agenda of you putting down,
say...your mortgage instead.
2. Considering Interest: While bail
companies must charge for their services, they are not by law required to
charge interest. Make sure to find a
bondsman that doesn’t charge interest.
This way, you won’t be rushed to pay back your loan.
3. Time and Day: Some bail companies
are not 24/7. Make sure your bondsman is
always available. You want someone who
can spring you at 3:30 am and not take two hours to arrive at the jail.
4. Friendliness: You’ll definitely
want someone who is not only friendly, but warm and compassionate. Jail is a scary place, and you’ll want your
bondsman to be as warm and comforting as possible as he helps bail you out.
BailQuote is
verified and certified by the California Department of Insurance, and thus, has
the right to get you out of jail immediately.
All agents charge a fee for their services, but BailQuote’s fee is the
lowest you’ll find anywhere. The fee is
usually around 10 % of your total bail.
Also, at BailQuote, we don’t change an an interest rate, which other
companies most certainly will do. Though
the fee is non refundable, as is with all bond companies, our agents go far and
above their call of duty to make sure you are comfortable, informed on the bail
process, and best yet, out of jail.
I had no idea that bail bond companies are not required by law to charge interest. It would definitely be nice to get bail bonds and then not need to pay extra on them! I'll also make sure to watch out for the no money down. The last thing I want is to be roped into something I didn't know about! http://allstarbailbondslv.com/lasvegas.html
