Century City Bail Bonds, Discreet and Open 24/7
By Jane Un, licensed bail agent #1843448. Updated October 29, 2026.
Century City is towers, offices, a big shopping center and a lot of people who are only there for the day. An arrest here can involve a visitor who knows no one, a worker far from home or a resident who wants quiet. We can help with all three, and we keep every call private.
I am Jane Un, a licensed California bail agent, CDI License #1843448. We are open 24 hours. A coworker, a family member, a friend or an attorney can call for the person in custody.

Check who made the arrest first
Century City sits next to Beverly Hills, and the border is easy to cross without noticing. Most of Century City is covered by the LAPD West Los Angeles Area, but if the arrest took place just across the line, the Beverly Hills Police Department made it, and that city runs its own jail. Ask which agency made the arrest before you do anything else.
For LAPD arrests, the station is on Butler Avenue in West Los Angeles. See our West Los Angeles station page for the address and phone number. The jail information line, 213-473-6100, can tell you whether LAPD holds the person.
Where the person usually goes
LAPD does not publish a list of which station sends people to which jail. We say usually, and the usual answer for West Bureau arrests is the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown. LAPD can move people, especially for medical clearance, so confirm first. See our MDC page for the address and rules.
The trip from Avenue of the Stars to Los Angeles Street is about a half hour with light traffic. Take Santa Monica Boulevard or Olympic Boulevard east to the 10 Freeway, then toward downtown. At rush hour, add much more time.
Arrests at work, at the mall or in a tower
Westfield Century City, Fox Plaza, the office towers along Avenue of the Stars and the hotels draw thousands of workers and visitors every day. Some arrests here are for shoplifting, some for disputes, some for driving after a long dinner and some for a mix up with security. Private security can detain someone, but LAPD makes the arrest and does the booking.
If the arrest involved an employer, think before you say anything to the office. Ask a lawyer first. Do not post online. A bond does not decide the case. It only lets the person wait at home while it moves forward. Our guide on what to do after an arrest lists the first steps.
Cost and speed
Premium is 10% of the bail, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or the defendant or co-signer is a veteran. We never call 1% the price. With approved credit, 1% down starts the bond and a monthly plan covers the balance.
| Bail | Premium at 10% | Premium at 8% |
|---|---|---|
| $30,000 | $3,000 | $2,400 |
| $120,000 | $12,000 | $9,600 |
Many people here already have a lawyer, which can bring the rate down to 8%. Try the calculator, then start the application if you want to go ahead.
A short checklist before you call
Century City callers are often organized people in a stressful moment. A few facts speed everything up, and none of them need to be perfect.
- The person's full legal name and date of birth.
- Which agency made the arrest, if you know.
- The booking number or the bail amount, if the jail gave it.
- The name of any attorney already hired.
- Who can cosign, and a way to show their income, such as a pay stub or a bank statement.
If you only have a name, that is fine. We can often find the rest. If the person was taken in a car after a stop, or from a hotel or office, say so. It helps us work out where they were taken.
Keep the call short and simple at the jail. Do not explain the case on a recorded line. Save details for the lawyer. Once the bond is filed, the jail finishes its own release steps, and nobody can promise how long that takes. Ask us what to expect for the specific jail and the time of night.
Please also keep your own phone on and your voicemail clear. Jails, courts and we may all need to reach you, and a full mailbox can cost hours.
Visitors and people from out of town
Century City has hotels, a convention crowd and many people in town for business. If the person in custody is a visitor, a family member back home may be the one calling. That is fine. We can work with you by phone and online, and we can explain which documents a cosigner needs.
Out of town visitors should know that leaving California without court permission while a case is open can cause serious trouble. Talk to a lawyer before any trip. Read about missed court dates for the rules.
Court and pregnancy help
We cannot name a single courthouse for Century City cases. The release paperwork lists the court, and the Los Angeles Superior Court website lets you look up the case. Call the clerk if anything seems off.
Qualifying pregnant women, 8 months or more along, with bail of $50,000 or less on a non-violent charge and a working co-signer with proof of income, may be eligible for free bail, subject to approval. See the program page. For free legal help, see our resources directory.
1% down is a down payment on approved credit, not the price of the bond. The premium is the rate on file with the California Department of Insurance, 10% of the bail amount, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or you or the defendant is a veteran. The balance goes on a payment plan.
