POLICE COLLECTION

If your vehicle has been impounded by police then they will send you notification of this. Your vehicle could be impounded for a number of reasons. They include:

- illegal parking

- your vehicle causing a dangerous obstruction

- vehicle found stolen

- vehicle was involved in a crime

 

To recover your vehicle we need:

- A letter authorizing us to collect. So a letter/document signed by yourself giving us permission to collect your vehicle.

- A copy of your passport/driving license. The police need to verify the signature matches.

- Insurance Certificate. (Valid One)

OUR DUTIES

We need to make sure we comply with all the regulations set out by the Police. Recovery 24/7 makes sure that it signs the 'Recovery Instructions & Operators Declaration form. We know that every single piece of required paperwork needs to be in place. So we have a checklist before we leave for a vehicle collection to make sure there are no errors. Recovery 24/7's vehicle collection team always acts in full compliance with the Loading & Unloading Guidelines that have been set out for recovery companies.

TRIP TO THE GARAGE

If your vehicle was recovered after being stolen, then we always recommend that you get your local garage carry out a full check. It may not be safe to drive. So we can transport your car, van or bike to a garage of your choice. It is impossible to say just by initially looking at the vehicle if it is safe to drive. So leave it to the experts and get a fully qualified mechanic to check it.

AVOID THE AVOIDABLE

There are so many times vehicles are taken off the road for avoidable reasons. So make sure that you act in a responsible manner as a road user. Make sure you have valid MOT and up-to-date insurance. Do not leave your vehicle in a place that causes major disruption/obstruction. Make sure you do your best to secure your vehicle. Sometimes people present car thieves with an early birthday present by simply not locking their cars.
