Impound Release Insurance in Nottingham
Nottinghamshire Police use ANPR across Nottingham’s ring road, the A52, the A610 and the M1 junctions, and an uninsured car that passes a camera is likely to be stopped and seized under Section 165 the same day. Once recovered, it sits in a contracted pound accruing daily storage.
Standard and ordinary short-term policies are refused for pound releases — you need impound-specific cover. Our 28-day certificate is issued within minutes of payment, so you can normally collect the car the day you buy.
Nottingham & Nottinghamshire pounds
- Nottinghamshire Police recover seized vehicles to contracted recovery operators around the city and county.
- Check the seizure notice for the operator’s address and hours, and phone ahead — each operator has its own counter process and document checklist.
What documents release an impounded car in Nottingham?
Photo ID, your driving licence, proof of ownership (V5C or new-keeper slip), the release fees, and an impound insurance certificate — we email ours the same day you buy the 28-day policy.
Can someone else drive my car out of the pound?
Only if the pound agrees and that person is insured on an impound policy for the vehicle with a full licence. Ring the pound first — some insist the registered keeper attends in person with ID.
What if I do nothing about the seizure?
Charges build at roughly £26 a day on top of the £192 removal, and after about 14 days the operator can dispose of the car. Fees can still be pursued afterwards, so ignoring the notice is the most expensive option.
