The latest smart thinking from Cuvva, which will meet demand from those who have an International Driving Permit;
Cuvva, the UK’s leading temporary car insurance provider, is offering an alternative to car hire for international drivers who have access to cars and who want to get behind the wheel for short periods, while in the UK. Many visitors to the UK have friends or family with a car, but until now, there’s been no easy way for them to get insured to drive it – leaving expensive car hire as their only real option to get on the road.
The typical cost to hire a car in the UK for one week is around £260 on average. But there are often added costs and factors to consider, including deposits, insurance, mileage restrictions and hidden extras. Some car hire providers may even require an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence is written in another language.
In comparison, insuring yourself on someone’s car for a week with a temporary car insurance policy from Cuvva can cost around £44.
International licence holders visiting friends and family can save hundreds of pounds skipping the exorbitant costs and headaches associated with hiring a car by borrowing one instead.
Darryl Bowman from Cuvva explains: “Cars become way more accessible when it’s easy to obtain insurance. Being able to get temporary car insurance for just a few hours or days is filling a big gap for international students, visitors, expats and tourists alike, who now have more flexible ways of getting on the road.
“You can easily jump in and drive a car in a matter of minutes with a standalone temporary policy, without the hassle of hiring one.”
Demand for more flexible driving solutions is rising steadily according to Cuvva. Appetite for the car insurance app’s temporary car insurance among international drivers grew nearly 200% last month (May) and has grown consistently since it launched, just three months ago.
