A: It varies. For a first time offender with no criminal history it could be zero. It is likely to be lower for people with significant community ties and based on the seriousness of the DUI (rate of speed, involved in an accident, or high blood alcohol level). If it is set too high, you can go to a Bail Bondsman. The fee for this service is typically 10% of the amount of your bond. They may also need collateral, like the title to a car or a co-signer.
