We have seen many times that people’s vehicles are getting impounded for parking illegally. That’s when an instant thought came to our mind about what will happen to our cars when they get impounded. Do we have to buy an impounded car insurance policy for it?

Don't worry, we will cover everything related to impounded car insurance, its policies, and what they will offer you as a customer in this topic. Let’s get into it.

Why do our vehicles get impounded?

There are numerous reasons for your car to be impounded. That could be due to your fault, or it could simply be the wrong time for you. Some bizarre cases also include that someone’s stolen car must have been found illegally parked and seized by the police. Then it will be impounded, and then it will be your turn to go and bring it back.

Your car can also be seized by the police if you don’t have your insurance done with it, or else the car is not in perfect condition and is harming the environment. Some rare cases also include a car being stollen, being parked illegally, having car tax not paid on time, being used somewhere in a crime or promoting hate.

Why won't your old insurance work?

Mainly, lots of customers have the same complaint: why can't they use their old valid insurance in these types of situations? This is the most common situation when a person’s car is seized, other than him having no insurance with him. Most people are shocked to know that there are more premium options for insurance which also cover the expense of impounded insurance with them.

There are many people who don’t know the difference between regular car insurance and premium insurance, which also includes an impounded insurance policy with it. The reason is simple: people usually don’t read the terms and conditions carefully. Always read the insurance policy carefully before purchasing it.

Most of the time, the insurance company tells people that they don’t cover any expense of vehicle impounds and that they are not responsible if their vehicles are seized in the future. And also, in some insurance policies, if you impound your car, they will terminate your insurance as you have broken the terms and conditions of your policy. You should always be careful before buying any given policy. Always compare them with other insurance policies too.

Is your intention right or wrong? If you don’t have your insurance with you, the police will not find any single reason to impound your car. You should always have your insurance. It’s better to buy insurance with an impounded car policy inside of it. Even the police have special HGV‘s to tow your car with them. That can help them to bring your vehicle easily to the police station. Always purchase the impounded insurance policy included with your car insurance to get rid of these hassles and try to avoid parking your vehicle illegally in no parking places.
