Impound Release Insurance in Liverpool

Merseyside Police seize uninsured vehicles every day across Liverpool — ANPR patrols cover the city centre, the A580 East Lancs, Queens Drive and the M62 approaches. Once a car is taken under Section 165 it sits in a police-contracted pound accruing storage charges until someone releases it.

That release needs specialist impound insurance; ordinary cover is refused at the gate. Our 28-day certificate is emailed the same day you buy, so most Liverpool customers get the car back within a day of getting the seizure notice.

Liverpool & Merseyside pounds

1. Merseyside Police use contracted recovery operators at sites across the city region rather than one central compound.
2. The seizure notice names the operator and address holding your car — ring ahead for opening hours and the exact documents required for release.

My seizure notice is lost — how do I find my car in Liverpool?

Contact Merseyside Police quoting the vehicle registration and they can confirm which recovery operator holds it. You’ll still need ID, proof of ownership and an impound insurance certificate to release it.

Can I insure an impounded car the same day in Liverpool?

Yes — the quote takes around 2 minutes and the 28-day certificate arrives by email within minutes of payment, in time to collect the same day if you reach the pound during opening hours.

What if the car isn’t worth the release fees?

Compare the car’s value with the charges: typically £192 removal plus roughly £26 per day. If you don’t collect, the pound can dispose of the car after around 14 days — but you may still be pursued for the outstanding fees, so don’t just ignore the notice.
