Impound Cover

Impounded car insurance can assist you in the release of an impounded car. When you produce your car documentation at the impound, you will be required to produce insurance documentation valid for a minimum of 30 days. Not all policies are acceptable, as some standard insurance policies specifically exclude use for releasing cars from impounds.

The impound policy meets the minimum legal requirement to release your vehicle from an impound.

Why would you need Temporary Insurance?

Temporary insurance is ideal for situations where you need short-term coverage without committing to a long-term policy.
It also offers peace of mind and legal protection for these specific, short-term needs.

Buying a new vehicle or test driving

Often when you are looking at buying a vehicle you may not be certain if it’s going to be the one for you. When you find the right vehicle, get some Drive Away insurance for a couple of days and that allows you the luxury of some extra time to compare the best annual cover options without the urgency to commit straight away.
