You need to contact a DUI attorney in your jurisdiction. Many times an attorney can clear the warrant without you having to post bail. This can save you thousands of dollars. Don't turn yourself in. Just seek out counsel.

People miss their court dates all the time. If you hire a DUI attorney in your area he/she can clear the warrant, enter the plea of not guilty and get the case going in the right direction. Its best to have some reason why you failed to appear but its not required.
