When using a bail bond to post bail and help a loved one out of jail, the bondsman requires the premium and collateral. Premium is 3.5% of the full bail amount. Collateral is something of value pledged as security that the defendant will show up in court. Collateral will be returned at the end of the case as long as the defendant complies with court rules.
It is up to you to decide two things: 1) what you have available to offer as collateral, and 2) what you are willing to offer as collateral. Remember, the defendant must obey all court-mandated orders. Failure to do so and you may not get your collateral back.
