Claiming ownership

You can claim ownership of a vehicle when you buy a policy. If it’s a policy that starts right away, you’ll be asked whether you own the car at the end of the process. You just need to select the option that says you are.

You can also claim ownership of a vehicle when you’re buying a short-term policy that starts in the future. Just get a quote for a time and date in the future, and when asked to confirm the trip with the owner just tap ‘I am the owner’ and follow the simple steps in the app.

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 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’.

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.
