Why “Cheap” Bail Bonds Often Come at a High Cost

Posted April 16, 2025

If you or a loved one is facing an arrest, your first thought may be, “How fast can I get out, and for how little?” We get that impulse. You want to post bail for as little as possible. But in the world of bail bonds, choosing the cheapest option can end up costing you more than money. It can cost you peace of mind, long-term support and maybe your freedom.

At A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds, we’ve been in this business long enough to know that the bonding process doesn’t stop when you walk out the jail doors. The legal journey can involve probation offers, months of negotiation and lots of stress. Here’s why cheaper isn’t better when it comes to your bonding company.

The Dangers of Going Cheap

Some bonding companies will undercut competitors just to get your business. This means that they require a lower bond amount to post bail for you or your loved one. In other cases, they may cut down on fees. This sounds like a great deal, right?

The problem arises once the ink is dry on your agreement and you’ve walked out of jail. The relationship can quickly go cold. The company might miss your calls or send someone to court to surrender your bond after a missed payment. Meanwhile, you had no idea that a payment was even due.

At A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds, we understand that you are trusting us with your freedom and believe you deserve better than a cheap bond and the consequences that can come with one.
