How do you get a car out of the impound without car insurance?

My grandmother’s car got impounded while she was parked somewhere she shouldn’t have been. We just found out she doesn’t have insurance on it, either. Can you get an uninsured car out of impound?

Oh, no! That sounds like a mess.
The first thing you need to do is find out if the lot requires proof of insurance to get the car out of impound. In some states, not having insurance can be the reason for the car being impounded!
If you need proof, it’s important to get the car insured quickly. The
Jerry
app can help. Jerry is an insurance comparison tool that will gather competitive car insurance quotes from up to 50 top providers in seconds. Jerry will even take care of all of the paperwork and phone calls involved in buying the policy.
Of course, if the lot doesn’t require insurance, then you should be good to go get it immediately. Just make sure to get some insurance for the car
as soon as possible
so your grandma can legally get back out on the road.
