Claiming ownership

To claim ownership of a vehicle, just buy a policy and select 'I am the owner' when prompted. Then just follow the simple steps. You don't need a V5C document or green 'new keeper' slip to claim ownership of a vehicle with no current owner.

Incorrect owner

If you’re buying a policy and you notice the wrong person is listed as an owner - for example, a previous owner who’s sold the vehicle - you just need to get in touch with our customer support team and we’ll reset this for you. We’ll need to see some evidence that you own the vehicle. So when claiming ownership of a vehicle which currently has the wrong person listed as owner, please have the V5C document or the green 'new keeper' slip to hand.

Removing yourself as an owner

If you no longer own a vehicle, you can remove yourself as its owner by tapping the 'Car club’ tab on the homepage of the Cuvva app. From here, scroll down and tap ‘Remove me as owner’. You don't need a V5C document or green 'new keeper' slip to remove yourself as owner.

Borrowing someone else’s car

If someone else owns the vehicle, you’ll need to get the owner’s approval to borrow it. When you get a quote for a future start date, the option to ‘Share link’ will appear. Just send the owner the link and they’ll approve you to get insured. You only need to do this once.
