What Is Impound Insurance?
Got your car impounded by the police? Take a breath it happens more often than you think.
Impound insurance is what allows your vehicle to be legally released from the impound. Unfortunately, standard car insurance won’t help here.
That’s where we come in.
We introduce drivers to FCA-authorised UK insurance brokers who specialise in short-term impound insurance policies. These policies are designed specifically to meet police release requirements without the stress, confusion, or endless phone calls.
Think less red tape, more “let’s get this sorted”.

🚓 Why Do Cars Get Impounded in the UK?
Cars can be seized for a number of reasons, sometimes serious, sometimes surprisingly mundane. Common examples include:
Driving without insurance or a valid licence
Causing a public nuisance (yes, donuts in a Tesco car park count)
Being abandoned, illegally parked, or blocking access
Breaking down and being left in a dangerous location
If your vehicle is impounded, you’ll usually need valid impound insurance before it can be released.
No insurance = no release. It really is that simple.
