Impound Release Insurance in Hull
Humberside Police run ANPR on the A63 Castle Street corridor, the city’s dock approaches and the main routes into Hull, and uninsured vehicles are seized at the roadside under Section 165. The car is recovered to a police-contracted pound and charges accrue from arrival.
To release it you need an impound-specific certificate — ordinary temporary insurance is refused at the counter. Ours is a 28-day policy issued the same day you pay, with the certificate emailed within minutes.
Hull & East Yorkshire pounds
- Humberside Police recover seized vehicles to contracted recovery operators serving Hull and the East Riding.

Can I collect an impounded car in Hull today?
If the pound is open, usually yes: the 28-day certificate is emailed within minutes of payment, and with ID, licence, V5C and the fees you can drive the car away the same day.
What do Hull pound fees look like?
The statutory charges: typically £192 removal for a car plus roughly £26 per day in storage, paid to the recovery operator at collection.
Does the certificate only cover collecting the car?
No — it’s a full 28-day third-party policy on the vehicle, so you’re insured to drive it out of the pound and for the rest of the 28 days while you arrange longer-term cover.
