To purchase temporary car insurance through Cuvva, you will need to download our app on your phone. To register, you will need to have:

  • A photo of government approved photo ID (typically, this will either be your passport or your Driving Licence)

  • Your own UK debit/credit card to make the payment

  • Declared all incidents (at fault/not at fault) that you have been involved, as a driver, passenger or named driver, in the last 5 years.

  • Permission from the owner of the vehicle

In terms of a driving licence, you can use Cuvva if:

  • You have a GB DVLA licence issued in England, Scotland, or Wales

  • You have a full licence from Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, or Spain. We are adding even more EU licences soon

And FYI - if you're buying a book-ahead policy that starts in the future,, the owner of the vehicle will need a Cuvva account to approve you to borrow their vehicle. This doesn't apply to policies that start immediately.
