Impound Release Insurance in Slough
Slough’s road network — the M4 between junctions 5 and 7, the A4 Bath Road and the trading-estate traffic — is patrolled hard by Thames Valley Police ANPR, and uninsured vehicles are seized at the roadside under Section 165 daily. Seized cars go to contracted recovery operators serving east Berkshire.
Release requires impound-specific insurance presented with your documents and the statutory fees. Our 28-day certificate is emailed within minutes of payment — most Slough customers collect the same day they buy.
Slough & east Berkshire pounds

- Phone ahead for opening hours and the document list; operators vary in what proof of ownership they accept.
I commute through Slough — the car was seized far from home. What now?
The car stays at the pound near where it was seized, so plan one prepared trip: certificate bought online (emailed in minutes), documents gathered, pound phoned. Releases to out-of-area keepers are entirely routine.
What are the release fees in Slough?
The statutory scale: typically £192 removal for a car plus roughly £26 per day of storage, paid to the recovery operator at collection.
Does the 28-day policy restrict where I can drive?
No — it's a standard third-party policy for the vehicle across the UK for its term, starting with the drive out of the pound.
