OutPOUND - Get Your Car Out of Impound Fast


OutPOUND can help people get their car out of impound fast anywhere in the continental US. We have specifically helped people that are incarcerated or being held pending bail or an arraignment. This particular type of transaction is a little tricky, but with proper digital documentation like a remote online notarization (RON), a power of attorney can be signed by the owner of the vehicle and an outbound agent can act on their behalf to get the vehicle released. Most impound yards specialize in one thing, deferring, denying and discouraging the release of the vehicle, so they can collect more storage.

Impounds happen to people from every walk of life, don’t be a victim twice, call OutPOUND and get your car back fast!

For vehicle releases where the owner is not able to go to get the vehicle released in-person, here is what is required in most circumstances:

  1. Positive identification - Driver's License, US Passport or Govt ID With photos
  2. Proof of ownership of the vehicle – Vehicle Title, Registration, Insurance card
  3. Authorization to release the vehicle – signed Purchase agreement with OutPOUND

The most difficult challenge with someone that is being held legally, is access to the driver's license & other forms of identification. There are channels for inmates to execute digital documents while in jail or prison. With a little coordination and some help from a friend or a family member, generally the proof of ownership documentation can be obtained and the vehicle can be released without incident.

As in the case of any impound situation, it is imperative that the owner of the vehicle act swiftly and decisively because your vehicle loses more equity each day as the storage yard profits at your expense. OutPOUND Specializes in getting vehicles released from impound quickly, preserving as much of the vehicle sellers’ equity as possible.
