Impound Release Insurance in Blackburn

Lancashire Constabulary runs ANPR along the M65 corridor and the A666 through Blackburn, and an uninsured car caught on camera is seized under Section 165 before the driver reaches home. The vehicle is recovered to a contracted operator serving the borough, with storage charges starting from the day it arrives.

A pound release needs a specialist impound insurance certificate rather than a standard policy — the counter will turn away anything else. Ours is a 28-day policy, emailed within minutes of payment, built specifically for this situation.

Blackburn & Lancashire pounds

1. Lancashire Constabulary recovers seized vehicles to contracted operators across the county rather than a single force-wide site.
2. The seizure notice names the operator holding your car — phone ahead to confirm hours and the documents you'll need.

How do I find out which pound has my car?

Check the seizure notice given to the driver or posted to the registered keeper — it names the contracted operator and address. Lancashire Constabulary can confirm the location from the registration if the notice is lost.

Can I get released the same day I was stopped?

Often yes: the 28-day impound certificate is issued and emailed within minutes of paying, so if the pound is still open you can attend with your documents the same afternoon.

What are the release costs in Lancashire?

The statutory charges apply here too: typically £192 removal for a car plus around £26 per day of storage, on top of the impound insurance itself.
