Impound Release Insurance in Cambridge

Cambridgeshire Constabulary works ANPR along the M11 between junctions 11 and 14 and the A14 skirting the city, and uninsured vehicles picked up on either route are seized under Section 165 and taken to a contracted pound serving Cambridge.

A release needs a specialist impound insurance certificate rather than an everyday policy, which the pound will refuse. Ours is a 28-day certificate, emailed within minutes of payment, so you can head to the pound the same day.

Cambridge & Cambridgeshire pounds

1. Cambridgeshire Constabulary recovers seized vehicles to contracted operators serving Cambridge and the wider county.
2. The seizure notice names the exact site and its opening hours — phone first to confirm what to bring.

Which pound holds cars seized on the M11 near Cambridge?

Whichever contracted operator covers that stretch of the motorway — the seizure notice tells you the site and address. Cambridgeshire Constabulary can confirm the location from the registration if the notice has been lost.

How soon can I get the car back?

Often the same day: the 28-day impound certificate is issued and emailed within minutes of paying, so a same-day pound visit is realistic if the site is still open.

What do the release fees come to?

The statutory charges apply: typically £192 removal for a car plus roughly £26 per day of storage, paid at the pound in addition to the impound insurance itself.
