Can I Use a Motorcycle as Collateral for a California Bail Bond?
The higher the bail bond you require, the more likely it is that we’ll ask for some sort of collateral to secure the bond. If you’re wondering if you can use the fancy motorcycle in your garage as collateral, you’re not alone. We can’t count the number of clients who have wanted to motorcycles to secure a bail bond in California.
The short answer is yes, motorcycles as collateral to secure a bail bond, but that doesn’t mean it will work in your case.
Since you’re using the motorcycle as collateral, we need to make sure that it is near to the value of the bail bond you need. If the motorcycle doesn’t have a high enough value to match the amount of the bail bond, you may be able to post it as part of the collateral, but you’ll need to come up with something else to use that makes up the difference.
The second thing that must happen before your motorcycle can be used as collateral for a bail bond is owned outright by you. If you’re making payments on the motorcycle or if you co-own it with someone else, we won’t be able to accept it.
One of the biggest worries we encounter when someone decides to use their prized motorcycle as collateral is that they are worried they will never get it back again. It’s important to understand that you’re not selling the motorcycle to us; you’re simply using it to secure a loan. As long as you attend all of your court appearances, you will remain the owner of your motorcycle.
What you won’t get back from us is the fee we charge in exchange for posting a bail band. This fee is 10% of the bail bond. So if you require a $40,000 bail bond, the fee we’ll charge you is $4,000. This money is used to cover our operating costs. If you can’t afford to pay the entire sum right off the bat, that’s okay. One of the reasons so many people turn to us for a bail bond following their arrest is that we have created an outstanding, zero-interest payment program.
