Standard 24 hour bail bond services provide a release from jail using a surety bail bond that is common in the State of California. It requires the standard surety bond cost of 10% fee. In addition, to obtain a person's release, some financial guarantees that support the total value of the bond are required, in case the person does not appear in court. This 10% fee, or bail money, may be difficult for some people to raise at a moment's notice, especially late at night when anxiety is high and thinking is not clear. Many people don't have the 10% of the money at their immediate disposal, but being creative and thinking through a problem is where it all begins. The following links, suggestions, and websites present ideas and solutions for your consideration. Various surety bond rates could be satisfied using these ideas cited. Most people may not have firsthand knowledge readily available to them about how to arrange for bail bond services. For instance, did you know you can use your AAA Automobile Club Card to bail out of jail? Here are some of the bail bond services provided by the AAA website:

There are 17 benefits listed, number 14 is entitled, "Arrest and Bail Bonds**"

"The $1,000 Guaranteed Arrest Bonds is for use if you are arrested for a covered minor traffic violation. It's just like having $1,000 in your wallet. For more serious covered traffic violations, you are protected with a $5,000 Bail Bond Certificate, which is secured by calling the nearest AAA office. Bail Bonds are insured by General Insurance Company of America. The AAA Bail Bond Certificate is provided on your statement. For your convenience, please detach the certificate and keep with your membership card. If lost or misplaced, you can call 1-800-222-1134 or visit your local AAA branch office."

Next, other bail money options are identified. American Express has a travel division called Global Express, with a phone call from the card holder Global Express can transfer monies into the bail company's bank account facilitating a quick release. The amount advanced depends on your credit standing with Global Express, but Acme's 24 hour bail bonds service has used this option with ease. If you are an American Express card holder, here are is a link to their concierge services.

Here, is another option for consideration that could help pay for the surety bond cost, if funds are short. You may need to ask a few people to raise cash for you and pay the 10% surety bond cost. For instance, there are many websites, such as Bail Bond Lenders that can loan each person up to $1500.00 to reach the necessary amount. Depositing the cash bail money directly into the applicant's bank account can occur within 1 hour from many of these Advance Payday sites. There are many other reputable companies found online that can approve your monies needed to secure the bail bond services of reputable bail company, such as Acme Bail Bonds. Many Advance Payday site do not require a credit check. The following is a list for your review.

Go to Cash Advance. This site is similar to the site mentioned above where your information, just like mortgage lenders, is packaged to find the most appropriate service for you.

If you have clear title to your automobile, truck, etc. this site may be of value. Again, this is another site that packages your information and finds the best fit to satisfy the necessary bail money needed to bail a person out of jail. Here, is link that loans from $2,600.00 to $50,000.00 Bail Money.

Whole Life Insurance policies can be used to secure collateral or raise money for the 10% surety bond cost fee; although this effort may be time consuming. However, given a sizable bond, this may be an excellent option with authorization and pledging of assets through the specific provider to guarantee that surety bonds rates are actualized.

Stock and bonds can be pledged, as well as trust accounts, for some surety bond costs. Again this may take time for qualification, and sign-offs from all parties involved. If the bonding company can qualify the assets with pledges and signatures, the person may be released on bond before the funds are actually generated for bail bond services.

There is also a promissory note that can be pledged to the bail bond company for payment of all or part of the 10% fee, or surety bond cost. Perhaps as signers, only 5% of the bail money can be raised. A steady job or being a long-term residence of the community with family ties may be a qualifying factor for this option. Call Acme, your 24 hour bail bond company for more information.

Securing a bail bond may entail the accumulation of monies with a mix of real properties, stocks, bonds, etc., especially when surety bond costs extend into the millions. The required demands of both courts and bonding companies elevate to meet specific standards and ratios. For example, properties and assets pledged for large bail bonds generally need to be 2 - 2 ½ times the face value of the total bail. This requires a lot of appraisals and evaluations from the property owners under the guidance of the bail and surety insurance companies. These requirements are assembled before presentation to the courts. If there are sign-offs from the guarantors, and the surety insurance company, the courts are sufficiently satisfied. The courts acknowledge and appreciate the work of the attorneys and surety bonding companies, because it accommodates the courts and judges; expediency is the watchword. Sometimes the courts ask for more assets, clarification of points, and sometimes they deny the entire presentation. It all depends on the case, the facts and the assets.

For smaller bonds, ACME has partnered with the following company, Government Pay Services or GPS where you will find their information and flyers at many local jails. If you go online, an application form is available, Government Pay Services. Use a credit card for bail money with GPS and they will call the jail directly and get your person released. The bail bonds services accommodate misdemeanors and traffic.
