Borrow a car
We’ve made it just as easy to get insured on someone else’s car as it is your own. Borrow a friend or family member’s car in minutes with fully comprehensive cover. And your no claims bonus is protected, because you’ll have your own policy.
Lend your car out
Earn some brownie points and lend your car to a friend or family member. They’ll get their own separate temporary insurance policy, so your policy and no claims bonus are completely protected.
Spread the love (and get a tenner!)
It pays to be nice. Refer a friend to Cuvva and you’ll both get £10 when they buy their first temporary policy.
No time to wait!
