Impound Release Insurance in Norwich

Norfolk Constabulary watches the A11 approach and the A47 southern bypass around Norwich with ANPR, and an uninsured car flagged on either road is seized under Section 165 and recovered to a contracted pound serving the city.

A standard motor policy won't get the car released — the pound needs a specialist impound insurance certificate instead. Ours is a 28-day certificate, emailed within minutes of payment, so a same-day trip to collect the car is usually on the table.

Norwich & Norfolk pounds

1. Norfolk Constabulary recovers seized vehicles to contracted operators covering Norwich and the wider county.
2. The seizure notice names the site and its opening hours — phone ahead to confirm what to bring before travelling.

Where does Norfolk Constabulary take cars seized near Norwich?

To the contracted operator covering that stretch of the A11 or A47 — the seizure notice names the exact site, and the force can confirm it from the registration if the notice is lost.

How soon can the car be collected?

Often the same day: the 28-day impound certificate arrives by email within minutes of paying, so a prompt pound visit is realistic if the site is still open.

What does a delay in collecting it cost?

Storage runs at roughly £26 a day on top of the ~£192 removal fee, and the operator can dispose of the vehicle from about 14 days after seizure.
