Impound Release Insurance in Middlesbrough

Cleveland Police patrol the A66 and A19 around Middlesbrough with ANPR, and vehicles caught driving uninsured are seized under Section 165 and taken to a contracted pound serving Teesside. The clock on storage charges starts the moment the vehicle is booked in.

Getting the car released needs a specialist impound insurance certificate — an ordinary policy won't be accepted at the pound counter. Our 28-day cover is issued the same day you pay, with the certificate emailed within minutes.

Middlesbrough & Teesside pounds

1. Cleveland Police use contracted recovery operators serving Middlesbrough and the wider Teesside area.
2. The seizure notice names the site and its opening hours — ring ahead to confirm what documents the counter needs.

Where are seized cars taken in Middlesbrough?

To whichever contracted operator Cleveland Police uses for that recovery — the seizure notice names the exact site and its address, so check it before travelling.

How quickly can I get the vehicle back?

Usually the same day: buy the 28-day impound policy, which is emailed within minutes, then attend with ID, licence, proof of ownership and the release fees while the pound is open.

Does it cost more the longer the car stays there?

Yes — storage adds roughly £26 a day on top of the ~£192 removal fee, and after around 14 days the operator is entitled to dispose of the vehicle, so collecting promptly matters.
