How we handle pound release
First step: we accompany you to the police station to get the release authorisation. You need documents (ID card, registration document, insurance certificate), and sometimes you have to pay a fine directly. We're with you to explain the procedure and check everything is in order.
Second step: we go together to the pound with the authorisation. We present the documents, pay the pound fees (storage + police towing), and collect the car. We check it hasn't been damaged, start it up, and you leave with your vehicle. If you prefer, we deliver it directly to your home or garage.
Quick tip: if your car is at the pound, don't delay. Storage fees increase every day. The longer you wait, the more it costs. Call us at 0479 89 00 89 as soon as you learn your car has been taken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really accompany me to the police station and the pound?
Yes, that's our service. We come to pick you up, accompany you to the police station to get the release authorisation, then we go together to the pound. We guide you at every step, you don't have to handle the paperwork alone.
Can I collect my car and drive it myself?
Yes, once at the pound, you can leave with your vehicle if you wish. Otherwise, we can also deliver it to your home or the garage of your choice.
How much does your assistance service cost?
Call 0479 89 00 89, we give you the exact rate for our assistance. On top of that are the pound fees (removal + storage + possible fine) that you pay directly to the pound, not to us.
My car has been at the pound for several days, how much will it cost me?
Pound fees increase every day (about €20-30/day storage). The longer you wait, the more it costs. Call us at 0479 89 00 89, we'll give you a precise calculation based on your situation.
I no longer have my registration document or I've lost my papers, what do I do?
It's more complicated, but possible. You need to make a loss declaration and obtain replacement documents. Call us, we'll explain the exact procedure for your situation.
My car was impounded for expired MOT, can I recover it?
Yes, but you'll need to prove you're going to pass the MOT soon. We can transport you directly from the pound to the MOT centre if needed.
How do I know which pound my car is at?
Call the police (the station in the area where your car was parked). They'll tell you which pound it was taken to: DA.CAR, DETAMIDI in Forest, or Dépannage ARW.
My car was damaged at the pound, what do I do?
Check the vehicle's condition BEFORE signing the release form. If there's damage, have it noted in writing. We accompany you for this check and advise you on the steps to take.
