Frequently Asked Questions

At Elite Bail Bonds Agency, we know that the bail process can be confusing and overwhelming — especially when you’re trying to help a loved one in a stressful situation. Our goal is to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive. If you don’t see your question here, give us a call — we’re available 24/7 to help.

A bail bond is a financial guarantee to the court that the defendant will appear at all required court dates. When you use a bail bond agency, you pay a percentage of the total bail amount, and we post the full bond to the court on your behalf.

In most cases, the cost of a bail bond is 10% of the total bail amount, as set by the court. This fee is non-refundable. We also offer payment plans to make bail more affordable.

The release process can vary depending on the jail and the circumstances, but in many cases, we can have your loved one released within a few hours after the bond is posted. We always act quickly to help minimize time spent in custody.

To get started, it’s helpful to have:

  • The full name of the person in jail

  • Their date of birth (if known)

  • The jail or city where they’re being held

  • The charges (if known)
