I'm not sure what you mean by compound insurance, but you may be referring to the fact that generally your insurance policy on your car will state that it can't be used to secure the release of another vehicle from a Police pound following seizure.

Some insurance companies don't allow the release of vehicles from government compounds (insurance and I assume tax). The larger ones tend to.

Contact the insurance company and ask them.

If they don't you'll have to use the link a few posts up.

Its to stop people using their 'third party any car not owned by them' to recover cars from a pound for a 'mate.' It's a specific exclusion on fully comp policies, so that any car needing to be recovered has it own policy in place.

If she has insurance in HER name for the car, it should be what is required.
