How Much Does it Cost to Get Bailed Out of Jail?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are two primary options for bailing someone out of jail. You can post bail directly with the jail, but you will have to provide the full amount. Generally, bail is set in the thousands, so the cash amount will be high. On the other hand, this money is refunded back to you in full so long as the arrestee shows up for all of their court hearings. Your other option, which is more common, is to hire a bail bond company and pay for a bail bond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their rates are regulated by the state\u2019s Insurance Department, so all bail bond companies are mandated to charge between 10% and 15% of the total bail amount. For example, if the bail is set at $10,000 and your bail bondsman charges 11% for their services, you would pay $1,100 for a bail bond. In some cases, there is an automatic 5% added on for local taxes, etc. Right now in Indiana, some bail companies are allowed to go as low as 8% for a fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
