California law sets the bail bond rate at 10%, required for all bail bond agents in the state. Discounts below that are allowed when the surety company that guarantees the bond permits it and certain state conditions are met — that is what a 7% rate is.
How to get a 7% rate
If you have a job or a cosigner, you usually don’t need any collateral to qualify for 7% bail bonds — your job is your credit. Most of the time a cosigner is required, and both you and the cosigner will need a valid California ID and proof of current employment.

Watch the rate
California Insurance Code § 1800 caps the bail premium at 10% of the face amount of the bond — that’s the legal ceiling, not the minimum. Anything above 10% is illegal. Walk away from any bondsman who quotes above the cap, demands wired money before paperwork is signed, has no California Department of Insurance license number visible, or pressures you to decide in under a minute. A real bondsman walks the family through the math.
