Purpose of this website
Finance-1 provides general information about UK impound procedures and impounded-vehicle insurance. The material is offered for background understanding only. It is not financial advice, legal advice or guidance tailored to your individual circumstances.
We do not arrange insurance, sell insurance, recommend specific products, or mediate between readers and insurers. All decisions about cover, claims, vehicle release, legal obligations or compliance must be made directly with qualified and regulated professionals.
Accuracy and limitations of information
The impound process varies widely between different police forces, councils and individual pounds. This includes the rules they apply, the documents they ask for, and the fees they charge. Because of these variations, we cannot guarantee that the information on this site is complete, up to date or accurate for your particular situation.
Procedures may change without notice and may differ significantly from one location to another. While we aim to keep the content sensible and well-researched, we cannot confirm that every statement reflects the current practice of any specific authority or pound.
