DUI/DWI Bail Bonds
Know What to Do If a Friend or Loved One is Arrested and Charged with a DUI
Drinking while driving is a common charge that brings with it very serious implications, both financially and to the future of the person charged with the crime. Absolute Bail Bonds is highly experienced in helping our clients quickly and discreetly post bail when they've been arrested with a DUI/DWI charge in the Minnesota areas.
Once your friend or loved one's bail has been set by a judge, our agent will walk you through the process of posting bail via a surety bond - known as a third-party bond where we collect 10-15% of the bond total to post bail. Upon release, it is critical that they appear at court on the determined date to avoid additional fees and/or a warrant for their arrest. Call Absolute Bail Bonds at 612-333-3030 for 24/7 help now!
Don't Let Your Loved One Sit in Jail - Call Absolute Bail Bonds Now!
When it comes to determining the set bail amount for a DUI/DWI charge, the prior criminal history, severity of the charge, and circumstances of the arrest can weigh heavily on the decided amount set by the judge. Those who have prior DUI/DWIs charges on their records can be met with a hefty bond required to post bail and be released, with some nearing $10,000. And while it is often unlikely that friends or family will have the ability to pay the bond amount in full, partnering with a licensed and reputable bail bonding agency can help to free your loved one from jail with only a small percentage of the bond total paid. With bond agents across Minnesota, Absolute Bail Bonds is here, day or night, weekdays, weekends, and holidays, to bring your loved ones home.
Bail Bonds Services: Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Bail Bond Cost in Minnesota?
A bail bond in Minnesota typically costs 10% of the total bail amount, plus any applicable fees. The premium is non-refundable because it pays for the risk and service of the bondsman. Final pricing can vary based on the charge, bail size, defendant’s risk, and the county. In Minneapolis and Hennepin County, you may also see small admin fees, travel fees, or monitoring fees depending on the case.
What Is the Difference Between Cash Bail and a Bail Bond?
Cash bail means you pay the full bail amount directly to the court, and it’s returned at the end of the case if all appearances are met. A bail bond is a surety bond posted by a licensed agent, and you pay a non-refundable premium (usually 10%).
Do Bail Bonds Services Help With Arrest Warrants and Self-Surrender?
Yes, most bail bond services help coordinate a planned self-surrender so you spend less time in custody. They confirm the warrant, discuss bail options, and arrange to post immediately at the Hennepin or Ramsey County Jail, or at other Minnesota facilities. A coordinated turn-in often leads to faster processing, fewer surprises, and a smoother release, especially when your attorney and the bondsman work together.
Can Bail Be Posted Before the First Court Appearance in Minnesota?
Yes, in many Minnesota counties a bail amount is set during booking or by a standard bail schedule, so bail can be posted right away. If bail isn’t set until the arraignment, you may need to wait for court. Bail bond services in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth, and St. Cloud can check the jail’s status, confirm amounts, and post quickly once booking and eligibility conditions are met.
