What is drive away insurance?
Drive away insurance is a stand-alone, short-term car insurance policy that covers you to drive a new car home. It means you can keep yourself insured - which, legally, you have to be, all the time - without having to somehow figure out a full car insurance policy for a vehicle you've only just bought.
With Cuvva, you can get insured for just an hour. So why pay for what you don't need?
Age requirements
To use Cuvva, you have to be over 19 and under 65. And if you're under 21, you need to have held your licence for at least a year.
Sometimes, different vehicles will have different age restrictions. To double-check, try getting a quote in the app.
The excess
Like your price, we use lots of different bits of information to work out your excess.
There are two kinds of excess: compulsory and voluntary.
We only offer compulsory excess on our short-term car insurance policies. The amount changes depending on the person buying the policy.
We take a lot of different things into account when we work out your excess, including:
- Your age. Younger drivers tend to have a higher excess than older, more experienced drivers.
- The vehicle you're driving. Faster, more expensive cars tend to come with a higher excess.
- Your location when you start the policy. If you're based in an area where there are lots of incidents, your excess will go up a little.
We don't offer voluntary excess, and you can't adjust the compulsory excess. But it's always shown clearly in the app before you buy a policy.
