DUI CHARGE TYPES
Not all DUI charges are the same. The bail amount and the complexity of posting bail varies depending on the specific charge and circumstances.
The most common DUI charge. Bail is typically set from the county schedule at $5,000 to $15,000. Standard processing, bail usually available same night.
Prior DUI convictions significantly increase bail. A second DUI might run $10,000 to $25,000 depending on the time between offenses and the county judge.
When a DUI results in injury to another person, it becomes a felony. Bail amounts are substantially higher and a judge must set bail at arraignment.
Having a passenger under 14 adds enhancement charges. Bail is higher and additional conditions may be placed on release.
DUI involving drugs (including marijuana, prescription medication, or combined alcohol and drugs) is treated the same as alcohol DUI under California law.
Zero tolerance law applies to drivers under 21. Even a BAC of 0.01% triggers a DUI charge. Bail amounts and court proceedings differ from adult DUI.

Yes, in most cases. Standard DUI charges without injury in Monterey County are bailable from the county schedule the same night. After booking (2 to 6 hours) and after posting the bond (1 to 6 hours for release), most DUI clients are home within 6 to 12 hours of arrest. Our agents post DUI bail 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Most DUIs in California are charged as misdemeanors under VC 23152. A DUI becomes a felony when it causes injury or death to another person (VC 23153), when the defendant has 3 or more prior DUI convictions within 10 years, or when the defendant has a prior felony DUI conviction. Felony DUI bail is significantly higher and requires a judge to set bail at arraignment rather than using the standard bail schedule.
After a DUI arrest in California, the arresting officer typically takes your license and issues a temporary driving permit valid for 30 days. You have 10 days from the date of arrest to request a DMV hearing to contest the suspension. Getting released from jail quickly via bail bond gives you and your attorney the full time needed to request that hearing and build a case. We are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, but we can get you home fast so you have that option.
Standard DUI release conditions in California typically include appearing for all court dates, not leaving the state without court permission, refraining from driving without a valid license, and often no alcohol consumption depending on the judge. More serious DUIs may include electronic monitoring or restrictions on driving entirely. Our agents review all conditions with you at the time of release.
