Step two
Download the Cuvva app and enter the carโ€™s registration plate. It only takes a few minutes to sort everything and cover starts instantly. Itโ€™s the ultimate in spontaneous weekend-ing.

The expert's view

Adam Kent, Cuvva's Senior Underwriting Lead and Insurance Expert, said: โ€˜Weekend car insurance can be great for a UK getaway or road trip - but getting into an accident can be particularly stressful when youโ€™re away from home. If the worst happens, take photos of the damage to your car or to any other cars, record the names and contact details of anyone involved (plus any witnesses) and take note of exactly where you are. If police are called, get the names and numbers of any officers at the scene, as well as the incident reference number. Call your insurer as soon as itโ€™s safe to do so - they will be able to support you and move the vehicle to a safe place.โ€™
