Impound Release Insurance in Gloucester

Gloucestershire Constabulary runs ANPR around junctions 11 and 12 of the M5 and along the A40 into Gloucester, and a car caught driving uninsured on either is seized under Section 165 and moved into the force's contracted recovery network.

The pound needs a specialist impound insurance certificate before it will hand a seized car back — an ordinary policy doesn't qualify. Ours is a 28-day certificate, issued and emailed within minutes of payment, so a same-day collection stays possible.

Gloucester & Gloucestershire pounds

1. Gloucestershire Constabulary recovers seized vehicles to contracted operators serving Gloucester and the county's M5 corridor.
2. The seizure notice names the exact site holding the car and its opening hours — confirm both before travelling.

Which pound holds a car seized near Gloucester?

Whichever contracted operator Gloucestershire Constabulary assigns to that stretch of the M5 or A40 — the seizure notice names the site and address.

How quickly can the car be released?

Usually the same day: the 28-day impound certificate is emailed within minutes of payment, so a prompt pound visit is generally realistic.

What happens if it's left in the pound a while?

Storage adds roughly £26 per day on top of the ~£192 removal fee, and the operator can dispose of the vehicle from around 14 days after seizure.
