We don't keep an Ontario branch. The city is worked from our staffed San Bernardino office on Hospitality Lane, and from the West Valley Detention Center in neighboring Rancho Cucamonga where an Ontario hold most often lands.

Why Choose Midnight In Ontario
Licensed agents on every shift, honest answers about where your family member actually is, and financing built for families who didn't plan on an arrest this week.
Ontario Polices Itself — And The Airport Complicates The Question
Ontario Police Department at 2500 S Archibald Ave, Ontario, CA 91761, (909) 395-2001, is an independent municipal agency. That is not universal in this county: the San Bernardino County Sheriff contracts policing for several large cities and brands the operation with the city's name, so a family here should not assume its neighbor works the same way. Ontario adds a second wrinkle nobody else in the county has. Ontario International Airport is a major commercial airport inside the city, and an arrest on airport property can involve airport police, the city department, or a federal agency depending on the offense. That single fact decides where the person is and who you call. We find out first and tell you before you drive.
24/7 Availability
A licensed agent answers the phone at 3 a.m. on a Sunday the same way we answer at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday. Ontario bookings do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Bilingual Agents
English and Spanish-speaking agents on every shift. Premium, cosigner obligations, and payment terms get explained in the language your family actually speaks.
No Collateral In Most Cases
Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified signature alone — no property, no pink slip. Above that, collateral may be requested depending on the charge and how the cosigner qualifies.
Affordable Payment Plans
California fixes the premium at 10% of the bail. The down payment is what flexes — as low as 1% on approved credit, with the balance on a written plan.
Licensed & Accountable
California License #1846101, with a staffed office at 165 W Hospitality Ln Ste 19C, San Bernardino, CA 92408 covering Ontario — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Ontario
An Ontario arrest usually starts with a city agency at a city facility, then either ends on a bond or becomes a county custody question at West Valley a few minutes north.
Arrest & Booking Through Ontario Police Department
Ontario Police Department officers make the arrest and processing begins at the department's Archibald Avenue headquarters, 2500 S Archibald Ave, Ontario, CA 91761, (909) 395-2001. Prints, photograph, and record checks have to clear before a bond can be accepted. Municipal holding is short — the practical window is hours, and after that the custody becomes a county matter with a different address and a longer timeline.
Charge Checked Against The County Bail Schedule
Bail is set from the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b(c). There are no Cite and Release or Book and Release categories in this county — that is a Riverside County structure. San Bernardino runs a conventional schedule where Section B generally does not require bail on misdemeanors unless the offense is specifically listed.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (909) 643-8359 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Ontario city booking and the San Bernardino County system, tell you where they are right now, and read back the exact bail amount and premium before you pay anything.
Qualification & Approval
A short cosigner conversation — employment, residence, and how the balance gets paid. Most approvals take minutes, and most Ontario bonds require no collateral.
Bond Posted Where They Actually Are
We post at the facility holding the defendant, whether that's the city jail or the county detention centers after transfer. Release from a municipal booking area is usually faster; the county facilities run a processing queue that can take several hours, longer on weekends and holidays.
Payment Plan Begins
The remaining premium is paid on the written schedule agreed up front. No surprise fees, and we remind you of every court date so the bond stays in good standing.
Bail amounts for Ontario arrests come from the San Bernardino County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in San Bernardino County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Ontario
The premium is fixed by California law. The down payment is where we can help.
The Premium Is 10% — By Law
Bail premium rates in California are filed with and approved by the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. A bondsman quoting a Ontario family less than the filed 10% premium as the total cost is quoting something they can't legally deliver.
The Premium Is Earned, Not Refundable
Once the bond is posted the premium is earned in full — whether the case is dismissed at arraignment or runs two years. That's the price of the surety, not a deposit held against the bail.
The Down Payment Is What's Negotiable
Down payments start as low as 1% of the bail on approved credit. The remainder of the 10% premium is financed on a written plan with fixed installments you agree to before signing.
Collateral Isn't Usually Required
Most Ontario bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature. Larger bonds may call for collateral depending on the charge and the cosigner's file.
| Bail Amount | 10% Premium | Down At 1% |
|---|---|---|
| $20,000 | $2,000 | $200 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
The 1% figure is a down payment on approved credit, not a discounted premium — the full 10% is still owed on the payment plan. For the full 1% through 10% tier comparison and who qualifies for each, see affordable bail bonds.
Ontario Jails We Serve
Ontario handles the beginning. The county handles anything longer, and for the west valley that generally means a short drive north rather than a trip across the county.
Ontario Police Department
2500 S Archibald Ave, Ontario, CA 91761
(909) 395-2001
The city's independent municipal police department and the first stop for an Ontario arrest. Holding here is short-term; a bond posted in that window can end the custody before a county transfer changes the address.
Where Ontario Arrestees Transfer
West Valley Detention Center
9500 Etiwanda Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739
The county's west-valley detention center, roughly fifteen minutes north in Rancho Cucamonga. The usual destination for an Ontario hold that continues past municipal processing. A dedicated facility page is still being built.
Central Detention Center
630 E Rialto Ave, San Bernardino, CA 92415
The county's downtown San Bernardino intake facility. Classification or an open hold elsewhere in the county can route someone east instead — confirm the facility by phone before making the drive.
What We Need When You Call
Have these ready and we can locate the booking — city jail or county — and quote the premium on the first call.
Defendant's Full Legal Name
First, middle, and last as it appears on their ID. Nicknames slow the jail search.
Date of Birth
Prevents confusion when multiple people share the same name in the booking system.
City or County of Arrest
Tells us which jail to check first — Riverside, San Bernardino, LA, Orange, or San Diego.
Booking Number (If Available)
Not required, but if you have it, it speeds up locating the record considerably.
Cosigner Contact Info
Cosigner's name, phone, employer, and general credit range — this is what determines your financing terms.
Your Relationship to the Defendant
Family, friend, or coworker — helps us know who to loop in on updates and paperwork.
Most Common Bail Charges In Ontario
Bail is set by the San Bernardino County Superior Court schedule, not by the city — so a Ontario booking starts from the same figures as one anywhere else in the county. The ranges below are county schedule ranges, not city-specific numbers.
DUI
County schedule range: $5,000 – $100,000
A first misdemeanor DUI sits at the low end of the schedule and can sometimes release on citation. Priors, injury, or a high BAC push the amount up fast.
View PageDomestic Violence
County schedule range: $50,000 – $100,000
Corporal injury filings book high and usually come with a protective order at arraignment. Release conditions matter as much as the bond — we walk cosigners through both before anything is signed.
View PageDrug Possession & Sale
County schedule range: $10,000 – $100,000+
Simple possession books low and often qualifies for diversion. Possession for sale and transportation book far higher, and weight or priors move the number quickly.
View PageAssault & Battery
PC §240 / §245(a)(1)
County schedule range: $25,000 – $50,000
Simple battery books at the low end. Assault with a deadly weapon is a strike-eligible felony and books substantially higher, often with additional enhancements filed.
View PageTheft & Burglary
PC §484/§487 and PC §459
County schedule range: $20,000 – $50,000
Petty theft books low; grand theft and first-degree residential burglary book substantially higher and carry felony jail or prison exposure. Burglary has its own dedicated page on this site.
View PageAbout Ontario
Ontario is a city of roughly 175,265 people in the southwest corner of San Bernardino County, at the junction of the 10, the 15, and the 60. It is the county's fourth-largest city and its main logistics and aviation center, with warehousing, rail, and freight traffic that keeps the population moving well beyond the residential count.
Ontario Police Department is a genuinely independent municipal agency at 2500 S Archibald Ave, (909) 395-2001. We say that explicitly because it is not the default in this county. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department directly contracts policing for several large cities and runs those operations under the city's own name — Rancho Cucamonga immediately to the north is the clearest example. Two adjacent cities of similar size, two completely different answers to "who has my son right now." Assuming the wrong one costs hours.
Ontario International Airport is the other thing that makes this city different. It is a full commercial airport inside city limits, and an arrest on airport property does not always follow the same path as one on Holt Boulevard. Depending on the offense and the exact location, airport police, Ontario PD, or a federal agency may have the person, and a federal booking is an entirely different process from a county one. This is not a technicality — it is the difference between a bond we can write in an hour and a matter that is not a state bail question at all. Tell us the arrest happened at the airport and we will sort out the agency before anything else.
Ontario cases are filed in the San Bernardino County Superior Court system with bail set from the county-wide schedule rather than any city rule. We are not naming a courthouse or department for a specific case here — the San Bernardino courthouse research is not finished, and we would rather say nothing than invent an assignment. Use the court's own information until those pages are live. What we will confirm on the first call is whether the charge carries scheduled bail under the county bail schedule.
