Welcome to 2025 — where AI answers your emails, drones drop off your takeaways, and somehow, your car still got impounded. Progress, right?
Whether you’re reading this while riding the bus after losing your wheels or just trying to avoid a future tow-truck tango, we’ve got the lowdown. Let’s unpack what’s happening with impound insurance so far in 2025 — and spoiler: it’s been eventful.
📉 So, What’s Still Going Wrong in 2025?
You’d think with all the tech and tracking, people would stop getting caught out. But nope — the classics are still going strong:
Top Reasons Cars Got Impounded in 2025 (Q1–Q2)
- No Insurance – 61%
Still leading the charts like an overplayed breakup song. - Unlicensed Driver – 16%
Usually someone’s cousin who “just needed to pop to the shops.” - Vehicle Not Roadworthy – 13%
Because bald tyres and broken lights apparently still count as a “vibe.” - Other Weird Stuff – 10%
Includes fake number plates and trying to bribe the tow guy with Greggs.
🗺️ Where It’s Happening (Yes, Still You, London)
London continues to top the charts for impoundments, followed closely by Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds. Urban areas remain hot zones because, well, cameras everywhere.
Fun stat: The ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) systems used by police now identify uninsured vehicles in under 0.3 seconds. That’s faster than your nan can say, “Whose car is this?!”
📈 The Surge in Impound Insurance (We’re Very Busy)
We’ve seen a 220% rise in quote requests already this year. That’s more people than ever admitting, “Okay, maybe I did forget to renew.”
And hey, no judgment — life gets busy. But unless you want your car to take an unplanned holiday in a police yard, impound insurance is your quick ticket out.
⏱️ What Are Drivers Choosing in 2025?
You lot love speed and flexibility — which makes sense when your car’s racking up £20/day in storage fees.
Most Popular Impound Insurance Policies in 2025 (So Far)
- 1-Day Cover – 52%
“Get it, grab the car, go.” - 7-Day Cover – 33%

Which should mean lower prices (fingers crossed).
