Most DUI arrests in Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido and everywhere in North County San Diego happen at night or on a weekend, and bail is set from the San Diego County schedule before you ever see a judge. Vista Bail Bonds™ posts DUI bonds around the clock so no one sits in a holding cell until Monday.
Typical DUI bail in San Diego County
A first-offense misdemeanor DUI often falls in the low thousands, while DUI with injury, a high blood-alcohol enhancement, or prior convictions raises the amount significantly. Felony DUI is set far higher.
What happens after release
You must appear at the Vista courthouse for arraignment, and the DMV imposes a separate administrative deadline to request a hearing about your license. We remind clients of court dates so the bond stays in good standing.
