Impound Insurance

Why do I need impound insurance?

Car insurance is there to essentially protect you from any unfortunate eventualities that are outside of your control. The risk from you is removed and onto the insurance company. Though you try to mitigate certain circumstances outside of what your insurance can cover, sometimes those events can lead to your car being impounded by the police.
