How to Pick a Bail Agent in California
Most people have never dealt with bail before and so when they have to rescue a loved one from jail, they don’t know how to do that. A big question that people often have is: how to pick a bail agent? What determines a good bail agent from a bad agent? Most people don’t know this.
To put it simply, a good bail agent is one that you can rely on. A good bail agent is someone who is available all day, every day. They are knowledgeable and can answer all of your questions. Lastly, they care about their clients and are more concerned with helping them, rather than making money.

What Documentation Do You Need to Post Bail?

Do You Need Collateral to Post Bail?
There are a lot of different aspects to bailing someone out of jail. Some things, such as giving information about a loved one to a bail agent, are easier to understand. Other things can be completely new concepts to people. One example of this would be collateral. Some people have never heard the term before and have no idea what it means or how it applies to bail.
Collateral is something that often pops up when large sums of money are being loaned to others. In its simplest form, collateral is something of value that a client pledges as an insurance that they will pay back the loan. The collateral has to be equal to or greater in value to the amount of money loaned. If the client fails to pay off their loan, then the company keeps the pledged collateral as payment for the loan.
Collateral can be any sort of item as long as both the client and the company agree that it has value. The larger the loan, the more valuable the collateral has to be. Some examples of collateral include jewelry, cars, and homes.
When it comes to bailing someone out of jail, a lot of bail bond companies require their clients to pledge something as collateral. This makes an already stressful situation even worse. Luckily, there is an alternative, just contact Absolute Bail Bonds. We don’t require collateral on most of our bonds. More often than not, we just need the signature of a working co-signer.
Some of the other services we provide for our clients include:
- 24/7 Bail bond service
- 20% Discount
- Phone approvals
- 0% Interest payment plans
- No hidden fees
- No collateral with working signer
