Looking to Insure Your Impounded Vehicle?
If your vehicle has been impounded by the police, due to you driving without insurance or other reasons, you will need specialist insurance in order to get it released. You will be charged storage fees starting from £25 per day, so you need to act quickly to reduce incurred costs. There will also be a release fee of around £150 1.
To release a vehicle from the car pound you need to provide proof of a minimum of 30 days insurance. No matter the reason for the vehicle being impounded, most policies will be restricted and will not allow you to collect the vehicle 1.
At BCD, we have a dedicated team of experts who will aim to get you and your vehicle back on the road quickly and with an appropriate and competitively priced policy. We appreciate the need to act quickly but still provide the most competitive quote that suits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions need some help?
How quickly will I receive proof of insurance?
In most cases we can offer an instant quotation and, once payment has been received, we can email the documentation to you immediately. At BCD we understand the importance of acting swiftly to reduce the storage costs.
Can you offer a comprehensive policy?
No, we can offer third-party only. However, at the end of the 30 days, we can offer an annual policy to include comprehensive cover.
My insurer has not asked if my vehicle is impounded, will my standard cover still be OK?
No, most standard car/van insurance policies do not cover a seized vehicle that is in the compound. This is because a person who has committed an offence serious enough to have their car seized is deemed to be too high risk for most insurers. If your vehicle is impounded, report it to your insurer first to check if it is covered. If it isn’t then you should consider contacting BCD to obtain a policy to enable you to get your vehicle back. The compound staff will simply refuse to release the car if you only have a standard policy.
Can I obtain a policy for less than 30 days?
No, by law you must provide a minimum of 30 days cover, therefore all of our policies will cover a minimum of 30 days.
