Impounded Car Insurance

 

Impounded car insurance is increasingly popular in the vehicle insurance market. Cars and vans are impounded everyday across the UK. It is important to the owners of these vehicles that they are released quickly.  Impounds charge a daily rate on top of release fees of an impound vehicle, so the longer a vehicle is in the impound the more expensive the overall costs.

A vehicle can be impounded for many reasons. This can be from parking violations, dangerous driving, and unqualified drivers of the vehicle being linked to a crime.

 

The procedure to get a impound vehicle released:

When a car is impounded there is a set procedure to get your impound vehicle released:

  1. You firstly have to take out impounded car insurance, or let your insurers know that your car has been impounded.
  2. You will then return to the impound, where the police will review your documents such as your license and insurance.
  3. Finally if all is well, your car will be released to you. If not, you have to ring your insurers who will then advice you on your next steps and discuss your options with you.

It is very important that you are honest about all of the information about your driving history to the insurers. Such as, points on your license or any driving offences you may have. If you fail to do so, you will be faced with fees to change the policy and release of your car refused.  If your car is refused release on terms that you provided incorrect information, you will not receive a refund of the policy.
