Car insurance is expensive, and let’s face it, most of the time we’re not actually driving a car. Cuvva is a service that aims to provide short term insurance for people who don’t actually own a car, but borrow  or share the driving in one  from time to time.

Previously, drivers looking to borrow a car from a friend or family member were required to arrange to be covered by the owner’s insurance policy, usually for a minimum of 24 hours and with time-consuming paperwork. Through Cuvva, you can insure for as little as an hour, and paperwork is kept to a minimum.

Thinking more widely, the idea of offering a service for a much shorter period than is customary, is an interesting one.  Few months ago, we wrote about hotel rooms that can be rented by the hour. What else might find a market if it was offered on a very short term basis?
