SOME COMMON Questions

Impound FAQ's

What is impound insurance?

Impound insurance is a specialised coverage designed to facilitate the release of impounded vehicles. To initiate the release process, it is necessary to provide proof of insurance for a minimum of 30 days. At Dash, we offer impound insurance that ensures quick and convenient coverage for the required period.

It is essential to have the right insurance coverage specifically tailored for impounded vehicles, as standard insurance policies typically do not cover the release process. Purchasing impound insurance from Dash guarantees that you are well-protected throughout the impound period. Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind while helping you navigate the impound process with ease.

When a vehicle is impounded, the expenses can accumulate rapidly over time. Our impound insurance provides an affordable solution to mitigate these costs. With our streamlined process, you can obtain the necessary policy in just minutes, with instant delivery of insurance documents via email and also with an online portal. This not only saves you valuable time but also ensures you have the required coverage without any hassle.

Why was my vehicle impounded?

In the UK, one of the main reasons for vehicle impoundment is the absence or inadequate insurance coverage. The law requires all vehicles to have a valid insurance policy that meets the minimum legal requirements. If your vehicle is found without insurance or with insufficient coverage, it can be impounded by the authorities.

While insurance-related issues are a significant cause of vehicle impoundment, it's important to note that there may be other reasons specific to your situation. These could include driving without a valid license, involvement in criminal activities, driven in an anti-social manner, no road tax or mot, causing an obstruction or danger or non-compliance with roadworthiness standards.

If your vehicle has been impounded, it is recommended to contact the local authorities, the impound lot where your vehicle is held, or seek legal advice to understand the specific reason for the impoundment. They will be able to provide you with the necessary information and guidance on the steps required to recover your vehicle.

To avoid vehicle impoundment, it is essential to maintain appropriate and valid insurance coverage for your vehicle, ensuring compliance with the UK legal requirements. Regularly review your insurance policy, keep it up to date, and carry the necessary proof of insurance while driving.

How much will impound insurance cost?

The cost of impound insurance can vary depending on several factors, including your age, experience, location, type of impounded vehicle, and the individual circumstances. As a temporary insurance solution, impound insurance typically offers short-term coverage, usually for a minimum of 30 days.

While it's challenging to provide an exact cost without specific details, impound insurance is generally designed to be affordable, considering the immediate need for coverage during the impound period. It is important to note that impound insurance may have a higher premium compared to standard insurance policies due to the unique risks associated with impounded vehicles.

At Dash, we strive to offer competitive rates for impound insurance while ensuring you receive the necessary coverage to release your impounded vehicle promptly. We understand the importance of providing affordable options during this challenging situation.

Do you have to have 30 days insurance for an impound policy?

Yes, when obtaining an impound insurance policy, it is typically a requirement to have coverage for a minimum of 30 days. This is to ensure that you meet the legal obligation of providing proof of insurance for the impounded vehicle during the entire impoundment period.

The 30-day insurance requirement serves as a safeguard to ensure continuous coverage and compliance with the regulations set forth by authorities. It is important to note that impound insurance is specifically designed to provide temporary coverage while your vehicle is impounded, and it may not be suitable as a long-term solution.

Can you get impound insurance if you're under 21?

Yes, it is possible to obtain impound insurance if you are under 21 years old. However, it's important to note that eligibility for impound insurance may vary depending on the insurance provider and the specific requirements they have in place.

Some insurers may have age restrictions or specific criteria for providing impound insurance to drivers under the age of 21. Factors such as driving experience, license history, and other individual circumstances may be taken into consideration.

To determine if you are eligible for impound insurance as an individual under 21, we recommend contacting Dash by phone on 01905-930-411.

Do you have to be the registered keeper and owner to get impound insurance?

Yes, to obtain impound insurance, you must be the registered keeper and owner of the vehicle. This requirement ensures that you have the legal authority and responsibility over the impounded vehicle during the period of coverage. This is a requirement for all impound insurance policies sold at Dash.

If you are uncertain about your eligibility for impound insurance or have specific circumstances where you are not the registered keeper and owner but still require coverage, we recommend contact us on 01905-930-411.

Can I have a nominated driver to collect my impounded vehicle?

Yes, at Dash, we allow nominated drivers to collect impounded vehicles, but with a specific condition. The nominated driver must be listed as a named driver on the insurance policy of the registered keeper and owner of the vehicle.

If you wish to have a nominated driver collect your impounded vehicle, it is essential to ensure that they are added as a named driver on your insurance policy. This requirement is in place to ensure compliance with insurance regulations and to protect the interests of both the registered keeper and owner of the vehicle.

Please note that the ability to have a nominated driver collect an impounded vehicle may also depend on the specific regulations and policies of the impound facility or local authorities involved. It is advisable to contact them directly to inquire about any additional requirements or procedures that need to be followed when nominating a driver.

At Dash, we understand the importance of flexibility and accommodating specific circumstances. Our team is available to discuss your situation and provide guidance on adding a nominated driver to your insurance policy to facilitate the collection of your impounded vehicle.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding the process of having a nominated driver collect your impounded vehicle, please feel free to contact our dedicated team on 01905-930-411. We are here to provide the necessary support and guidance throughout the impound process.

Can I get impound insurance on a provisional licence?

Yes, it is possible to obtain impound insurance even if you hold a provisional driving licence. However, it's important to note that eligibility for impound insurance with a provisional licence may vary depending on the insurer and their specific requirements.

Some insurance providers may impose certain restrictions or additional criteria for drivers with provisional licences when offering impound insurance. Factors such as age, driving experience, and other individual circumstances may be considered in the evaluation process.
