What happens to your vehicle when it's impounded?
If your vehicle is seized, it will be taken to a secure storage facility and held there until you provide proof of insurance and pay the necessary release fee. As stated previously, you have 14 days to get your vehicle back. The vehicle may be sold or crushed if you don't get it back within this period. While your car is in the impound, you will be charged a daily storage fee, which can add up quickly, so the sooner you resolve the situation, the better.
โ
Can you get an impounded car released without insurance?
You can't get your vehicle out of an impound without insurance. You can only get your seized car back if you can prove it has valid insurance for at least 30 days.
โ
Releasing your impounded vehicle
To release your impounded vehicle, you must provide proof of valid insurance and pay the fee. Also, you must ensure your vehicle is roadworthy and meets all safety and emissions standards. This ensures that once your car is back on the road, it complies with all legal and safety requirements.
โ
What do I need to have to release my vehicle?
To get your impounded vehicle released, you will need:
-
The issued seizure notice or penalty ticket
-
Proof of insurance covering at least 30 days (Certificate of Insurance)
-
Proof of identity (driving licence)
-
Proof of vehicle ownership (V5 registration document)
-
Proof of address, such as a utility bill, council tax statement, or bank statement issued within the past 3 months.
-
Valid MOT certificate
-
Impound release fee
It's best to check with the impound lot beforehand to confirm what documents are required and the release fee. This will help speed up the process and get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible!
