If June was a movie, it’d be Fast & Insured: The Road to Redemption. From FCA rumblings to a flood of quote requests (with a few spicy backstories), we’re here to dish out the juiciest highlights from ImpoundInsurance.co.uk — where the quotes roll in faster than a clamped Vauxhall at 2am.
📰 Market Update: Insurance in the Spotlight
This month, the insurance world saw a few eyebrow-raisers:
- FCA launched a new review into short-term policy transparency — aimed at curbing “get-out-of-impound-free” cowboy firms.
- Several brokers were publicly called out for using confusing language in policies that didn’t actually meet pound release criteria. Moral of the story? Always read the fine print. Or let us do it.
- Demand for 30-day impound policies hit a new high as more motorists sought release-only cover without committing to a 12-month policy marriage.
Meanwhile, we stayed classy — partnering with real, FCA-authorised insurers that actually get your car, van or bike released.
📊 Quote Insights: The Great Vehicle Showdown
It’s time to open the vault and peek at what came through our virtual doors this month. While we won’t name exact numbers (we’re not monsters), here’s what the data tells us…
🚗 Cars
They were the stars of the show. A healthy stream of quote requests rolled in, and they brought:
- 🚨 Roughly 1 in 10 drivers with a conviction
- 💥 Just a few bumps — 2.5% had previous accidents
- 🔑 Over 70% owned the vehicle outright
Translation: most people are looking to get back the car they actually paid for… possibly with a hint of regret and a parking ticket.
🚐 Vans
Vans are like that quiet lad at the pub who doesn’t say much but owns three properties.
- ❌ 0% convictions or accidents. Impressive. Or suspiciously perfect.
- 🔧 Just over half own their vans, which tracks with business usage.
We don’t like to speculate, but if vans were people, they’d be the designated drivers of the vehicle world — no drama, no convictions, no prangs. Just vibes.
🏍️ Bikes
The real MVPs this month. Motorbikes dominated requests and proved they’re not just loud — they’re popular.
- 🛑 4% had a conviction. Slightly rebellious. We respect it.
- 💢 Just 1.5% had accident history.
- 🏠 A whopping 78% actually own their bikes.
Let’s be honest, motorbike owners love their wheels like others love pets. They name them. They polish them. They probably whisper to them. And this month, they were out in force.
🗣️ Closing Thoughts
June gave us:
- Convictions (some spicy, most minor)
- Riders who genuinely care about their bikes
- Vans that may be criminally clean
- A reminder that insurance is still a wild ride
To those still navigating the impound maze, we salute you. And to those who submitted quotes through us — thanks for keeping it real, even when your MOT wasn’t.
