Impound (also known as impounded or compound) car insurance is a type of policy specifically designed for releasing vehicles that have been seized by authorities. Standard car insurance does not cover this scenario, making a specialised policy necessary.

Typical reasons include not having valid insurance, invalid or no road tax or the vehicle being unsafe for the road.

In the UK, vehicles seized by the authorities can only be released with proof of appropriate coverage, which standard policies do not provide. Impound car insurance ensures compliance with these legal requirements.
