Police | Local Pound Recovery London and Towed Vehicle Collection UK
Specialist police and local authority pound vehicle recovery across London. Fast, friendly help to collect your towed or seized car and get it back where it needs to be.
If your car has been towed or seized in Greater London and in the home counties, we can collect it from the police or local authority pound and bring it back to you or straight to a garage.

We regularly help drivers whose vehicles have been:
  • Towed after parking or traffic offences
  • Seized for no insurance or licence issues
  • Removed by police after an arrest or incident
  • Taken to a pound after an accident or breakdown
  • Lifted by local authority enforcement teams
We understand the pound procedures, paperwork and time limits, so you do not have to figure it all out alone.

Impounded Vehicles Recovery

Our job is to handle the transport and logistics so you can focus on getting your documents and payment ready.

1. Call us with your details
Give us the pound name or location (if you have it), your vehicle registration, make and model, and any pound reference number you have been given.

2. We confirm a quote and ETA
We confirm the recovery cost based on distance and vehicle type, agree where you want the car taken after release, and give you an estimated arrival time.

3. We meet you at the pound
We meet you at the police or local authority pound at the agreed time. You deal with the paperwork and pound fees at the office while we prepare the truck.

4. We load and secure your vehicle
Once the pound staff release the vehicle, we safely load it onto our truck – even if it is non‑running, damaged or has no MOT or tax.

5. We deliver your vehicle where you need it
We can take your car back to your home, workplace, a garage, storage site or another address you choose.
Not sure what documents the pound will ask for? Our Police Pound Guide explains typical requirements in more detail and what to do if you are missing something.

Each pound has its own rules, but you will usually need several of the following:
  • Photo ID (for example, passport or driving licence)
  • Proof of ownership (V5C logbook or recent bill of sale)
  • Valid insurance documents covering you to drive the vehicle
  • Valid MOT if required for the vehicle
  • Your driving licence
  • Any reference number or paperwork given by the police or council
Always check your pound letters or texts carefully, as they should explain what that specific pound expects to see.
If you are unsure whether you have the right documents, do not panic. Our Police Pound Guide includes a detailed checklist and advice on what to do if something is missing.
We provide police and local authority pound recovery across Greater London and many surrounding areas, including key routes into and out of the city.

Because pound release times are often limited and storage charges increase daily, we prioritise pound jobs and aim to get to you as quickly as possible. Typical response times within London are often 60–90 minutes, depending on traffic and pound opening times.

Call us with your pound location and we will confirm availability and an estimated time of arrival before you book.

We have the required Insurance policy that permits recovering and transporting vehicles on behalf of their owners from a local authority or Police pound.

We offer local or Police Pound Recovery services throughout London, Essex and Kent. We have managed to create a satisfied customer base with our dedicated information and Police Pound recovery services in around London.

Local and Police Impounded Vehicles Recovery
Every pound recovery job is slightly different, so we give clear, fixed quotes based on your situation before you book.

Your price will depend mainly on:
  • Where we are collecting you from
  • Which pound your vehicle is in
  • Where you want the vehicle taken after release
  • The size and type of vehicle (car, 4x4, van, etc.)
  • Time of day and urgency
Important: Our recovery charges are separate from any police, council or storage fees. You pay those directly to the pound.

Have your pound details and vehicle registration ready when you call so we can give you an accurate figure straight away.
Can you collect my vehicle without me?
Usually the registered keeper or named driver must attend the pound in person with ID and documents. In some cases we can collect without you once the pound has fully released the vehicle to us – call to discuss your situation.

What if my car has no MOT or tax?
A vehicle without MOT or tax should not be driven on the road, but it can still be moved on a recovery truck. We regularly move non‑roadworthy vehicles from pounds to garages or storage sites.

What if I have lost my keys?
We can still transport a vehicle without keys, although loading may take a little longer. You may need a locksmith or your garage to supply a replacement key once the vehicle has been moved.

Can you take my car straight to a garage?
Yes. Many customers ask us to take their vehicle directly from the pound to a mechanic or bodyshop so repairs or checks can start immediately.

Do you deal with the police or council fees for me?
No. You remain responsible for paying all police, council and storage fees directly to the pound, but we are happy to explain the process and timings as best we can.
If your car has been towed or seized, time and storage charges can add up quickly. We offer fast, 24‑hour police pound recovery across London, with clear pricing and experienced drivers who understand pound procedures.
