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!

Need to borrow a car or van? Our comprehensive borrower insurance has you covered. An alternative to being added as a named driver. We're on a mission to give everyone affordable access to a car anytime, anywhere.

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
How long can I borrow a car for?
Once you've found someone who is happy to lend you their car, you can use Cuvva to buy a standalone policy to drive it for as little as 1 hour, to as long as 28 days (although there are sometimes limits depending on the specific car or driver).
Does the car owner get paid by Cuvva to lend out their car?
The car owner can charge a fee, or keep it free! Any fee will be added into the price of the borrower's policy price.
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 70. If you're under 21, you may 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.
