Vehicle impound release: which insurance to get your vehicle back?
To retrieve a vehicle from the pound, the law requires you to present a valid insurance certificate (along with your licence and registration document). The problem: if your vehicle was impounded precisely because it was no longer insured or if your insurer cancelled the contract in the meantime you're stuck.
Temporary insurance unblocks the situation within minutes
Subscribe online to insurance for 1 to 90 days, receive the certificate by e-mail or WhatsApp, present it at the pound and drive away with your vehicle. Since every day of storage costs money, speed matters: at TempAssur, the certificate is sent immediately after payment and electronic signature.
Which duration to choose?
The time needed to retrieve the vehicle and take out standard insurance: 8 or 15 days is often enough; 30 days if you also need to pass the roadworthiness test or sell the vehicle.
The conditions
Driver aged 21 or over with 2 years' licence, and compliant history declarations (in particular: no cancellation for a claim within the last 5 years). If in doubt about your situation, message us on WhatsApp at +33 6 05 93 84 79: we reply 7 days a week.
