Borrow someone’s car
Borrow any car with your own faff-free comprehensive insurance policy. Your temporary insurance means you only pay for when you're behind the wheel - and the owner's no claims bonus is protected. Easy!

Want to rent out your car?
• Let friends or family members borrow your car
• They’ll get their own insurance policy, so your no claims discount won’t be affected if they need to make a claim
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.
