The premium, part of the cost of the bail bond, is based on the rate filed with the state. The standard premium ranges from 10-15% of the bond amount (1000.00 bond 100.00 to 150.00). The 15% rate is usually for non resident defendants, misdemeanor offenses, or higher risk defendants. Large bond premiums for defendants who have retained private council or have a homeowner to sign may qualify for premiums less than the standard 10%. We do provide interest free payment plans for qualified individuals with a suitable down payment on large premiums.

Yes, a bail bondsman or a runner licensed under a bail bondsman may make an arrest of the defendant and return that defendant to the proper detention facility. A non-licensed individual may not make an arrest. The arrest power of the bail bondsman is given by the contract (bond) and South Carolina code of laws.

An indemnitor (or co-signer) is a third party who signs a guarantee to the bail bondsman that he/she will have the defendant present at all future required court dates. The indemitor is held financially responsible for the full bail amount in the case the defendant fails to appear in court. The indemnitor may be asked to put up collateral worth the cost of the bail bond. The collateral is returnable upon the completion of the court case. The indemnitor should posses the solvency or assets that will secure the risk to the bail bondsman. We suggest that you have a close relationship with the defendant and regular interaction if you wish to post bail.
