A bail bond, also called a surety bond, is a guarantee to the court that the person being released on the bail bond will make all of their required court appearances set by the court.
The cost of the bail bond, called the premium, is usually 10% of the total bail amount. This can be paid by cash, check or credit cards.
For example, if the bail is set at $10,000 the premium would be $1,000. This is the amount charged by the bail bond company to put up the bail bond so that your friend or family member can be released from jail. This fee is not refundable.
Premium Options: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Cash, Check, Western Union and Wire Transfers.

A cash only bond occurs when the judge will not allow you to be bailed out by a bail bond company. Usually these bonds are for speeding tickets, if you failed to pay unpaid fines and court costs.
An indemnitor or co-signer is a person who agrees to be financially responsible for the full amount of the bail bond in the event the defendant fails to make a court appearance and cannot be returned to court. An indemnitor is responsible for paying any bail bond cost incurred as a result of the defendant missing the court date.
As long as the defendant goes to court each and every time they are expected to you will not owe the bonding company any more money. That does not include fines and court costs incurred by the courts.
