Impounded Vehicle Insurance

To get an impounded insurance quote from Tempcover, you must meet at least the following criteria:

• Must be aged 19 years or older
• Be the legal owner of the vehicle
• Held your driving licence for a minimum of 6 months
• Been a UK resident for a minimum of 12 months
• Had a maximum of 1 fault claim in the last 3 years

All of our Impound policies are Third Party Only.

Here at Tempcover, we have a dedicated line that all Policing teams and Impounds can get access to should they need to discuss the policy with us.

The line is open Monday-Friday 9am until 5.30pm. Should any official body or company need to get in touch regarding your policy outside of these hours, they can email us as [email protected], where their inquiry will be read and actioned on the next working day.

You can cancel the policy at any time if you no longer need it, by contacting our Customer Care Team. Please be aware that as per the terms agreed to at purchase, there is no refund available, even if you cancel before the policy expires.

Currently, our policies only permit 1 driver per policy, and for impounded vehicle insurance, we only offer cover for the vehicle owner. You must be able to provide proof of legal title to the vehicle when attending the Police station for them to authorise your insurance for release.

Our impound policies can only be used for release, and then social, domestic and pleasure use for the remainder of the 30 day policy. You are not permitted to use the policy for commuting or business purposes at any time.

Unfortunately not, as the police require a 30 day policy or more in order to agree the release of your vehicle.

Tempcover only sells impound insurance policies for 30 days. You will not need more than one policy to retrieve your vehicle.

Yes, you must ensure you have proof that you are the registered legal owner of the vehicle.
