Impound Release Insurance in Gillingham & Medway
The Medway towns sit between the M2 and the A2, with the A289 linking Gillingham to Chatham and the dockyard area — all three carry steady Kent Police ANPR coverage, and an uninsured car caught on any of them is seized under Section 165 at the roadside rather than reported later.
Recovery goes to a contracted operator serving Medway, and release only happens against a specialist impound certificate — a regular annual policy won't be accepted at the gate. Payment triggers an emailed certificate within minutes, which keeps a same-day collection realistic.

Which pound serves Gillingham and the wider Medway area?
Kent Police's contracted recovery operator for Medway — the seizure notice confirms the specific site and its opening hours.
How fast can I get the car released?
The certificate lands by email minutes after paying, so most Medway seizures can be sorted the same day if the pound is reached before closing.
Does the bill grow while the car sits in storage?
Yes, storage adds up at around £26 per day alongside the roughly £192 removal charge, so it pays to collect quickly.
