UK start-up Cuvva intends to change the way we think about driving cars owned by other people, in the event of needing short term car insurance.  

Launched in October, Cuvva is a short term car insurance app that allows drivers to get fully covered any car in the UK for as little as an hour. The Cuvva app is available for iPhones operating iOS 8.1 and above.

Once registered UK drivers aged between 21 and 65 years old can get fully covered for between one hour and twenty four hours, providing they have a valid driving licence.  Cuvva is fully regulated by the FCA and works with a number of underwriters to offer the best possible hourly rates to UK drivers.

Founder of Cuvva, Freddy Macnamara, said, “The reason we launched Cuvva was to try and improve the current UK car insurance model. Consumer expectations are that we should be able to get what we want, when we want and all from our personal devices; why should car insurance be any different? What we want to do is enable UK drivers to get simple, quick, and efficient access to other cars whenever they need them.”
