    How the DWI Bail Bond Process Works

    Posting bail for a DWI charge doesn't require wiping out your savings account. Working with a licensed Raleigh bail bondsman allows you to pay a small fraction of the total bail set by the court while securing complete freedom prior to trial.

    What You Need to Know

    1

    State-Regulated Premium: NC bail bond fees are set at a maximum of 15% of the total bond amount.

    2

    Flexible Payment Plans: Qualified cosigners can secure release with low down payments and affordable monthly terms.

    3

    Collateral: Depending on the bond size, personal property or cash may be used as a guarantee.

    The Financial Side of a DWI Bond

    In Wake County, once a bond is set (e.g., $5,000), you have the choice to pay the full $5,000 to the court (refunded after the case) or pay a premium to a bondsman (non-refundable fee for the service).

    • Premium: The max fee is 15%. For a $5,000 bond, the fee is $750.
    • Flexible Options: For larger bonds, we often provide payment plans to make the upfront cost more manageable.
