Can I get temporary insurance on a friend's or family member’s car?
  • Yes! This doesn’t count as fronting as you’ll have your own policy. Fronting is essentially when a driver pretends to be a named driver, but the driver is actually the person who does most of the driving. This can cause issues when claiming, and insurers could end up cancelling the policy. A lot of modern insurers provide temporary insurance.
  • Before you drive the car, check it has a valid MOT and tax certificate.
  • With a Cuvva policy you can borrow someone else's car, or share the driving responsibilities on a long trip. You can set it up in minutes, and it’s perfectly legal.
  • Unlike with some other temporary insurers, you don't have to have a specific relationship with the owner. But of course, you should have their permission before you drive their car.
