Can someone add me as a named driver to their existing monthly policy?
- Not yet! Though we are working on it. For now you can get separate temporary car insurance policies for each time you want to borrow the car, or you can get a monthly policy of your own on the car. However, you can be added as a named driver if the car owner is starting a brand new policy.
Does the car owner get paid by Cuvva to lend out their car?
- Currently you can only borrow or lend out cars on Cuvva for free.
Can I borrow someone else’s van?
- Yes you can! Borrowing a car or van is the same process in the Cuvva app. To get insured on their van for the first time, you'll need to be over 19 and under 65. If you're under 21, you have to have held your full licence for at least a year - and have no at-fault or joint-fault accidents or claims in that time.
