Babal Karama Project Management Services has developed a number of strong relationships with insurers around the impounded car insurance market and we can look to cater for all risk types to enable you to release your vehicle and get you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Impounded vehicles are on the rise and since the changes to the vehicle tax system we have seen a rise in numbers of clients needing impounded car insurance.
If you find that your vehicle has been taken to an impound you will need an impounded car insurance policy to be able to collect it. Most policies will exclude the release of an impounded car and you may need to purchase specialist policy for impounded car insurance.
Make sure that you stay on the right side of the law by always ensuring that your vehicle tax is up to date. With the new direct debit option, where you can pay your road tax monthly, 6 monthly or yearly. It is much easier to ensure that you are always covered. If you are planning to purchase a used car, be mindful that you will need to tax it immediately and that any tax the previous owner had paid for will no longer be valid.
How does the police seize the car?
A repossession order will first be raised and then a subtracted towing company by the police will see that your vehicle is transported to an impound. The towing company will then be in legal possession of your vehicle. The vehicle is then impounded in the police impound and will be locked away to prevent unauthorised access.
How to retrieve a car from the Police Impound?
To find out where your vehicle is located, you can contacted Trace – the Towed Vehicle Tracking Service on 0845 206 8602.
To get your seized vehicle out of the police pound you will need to meet certain requirements. Refer to your court order and follow the instructions given. If you are behind on any charges, taxes, parking tickets, then you will have to pay these in advance and be approved by the lender. Make sure you also understand what period your impounded car insurance has to be as some impounds may stipulate the minimum length of policy they will accept.
If the vehicle is in a poor condition, you should communicate with the body repair shop and impound to ensure you can get everything arranged in a timely manner. If there are extenuating circumstances – for instance where criminal activity may be at play – the possession order will need to be signed by a judge. The car owner will be charged for every day the vehicle is in the impound, so the owner should act as quickly as possible.
Having a reliable insurer who offers impounded car insurance will help get your car out of the impound quickly.
What should I take with me?
Take your cheque book and credit card, and possibly a few hundred in cash in case that is the method you have to pay in. In addition, take some proof of ID, proof of seized vehicle insurance and your title or registration.
Is there anything I can do?
There are processes for lodging a complaint but generally a car or bike will not be impounded without a legitimate reason. Therefore you will be best paying the fee without making a fuss. Everyone has an excuse and the pound won’t care.
Should I inspect the vehicle?
Yes, inspect your car before leaving the pound and take any pictures if there is damage – you can then report this to the pounds management.
