The Truth About "No Money Down"
Florida law requires bail bond agents to charge 10% of the bail amount. An agent cannot waive this fee entirely. So what does "no money down" actually mean?
In most cases, it refers to payment plans where you pay a small portion upfront (1-3%) and finance the remaining premium over time. The total still equals 10%.
Payment Plan Options in Palm Beach County
- Low down payment — As little as 1-3% of bail upfront
- Monthly installments — Spread the rest over 3-12 months
- Credit card accepted — Use any major credit card
- Flexible terms — Based on your financial situation
Red Flags
