### 5/5 — PB

*2026-07-11, version 6.30.1*

Excellent, super easy to use, good value for money

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-07-09, version 6.30.1*

The system is very rubbish

### 1/5 — Waste of Money - Use Veygo instead

*2026-07-06, version 6.31.0*

Charging upwards of £60 for me to insure a car for an hour. This same car cost £12 for the whole day on Veygo which is powered by Admiral. Cuvva is a rip off and Veygo provide much more affordable insurance policies

### 1/5 — Insurance

*2026-07-02, version 6.30.1*

Insurance you till you have an accident after that put you straight in the bin avoid at all cost

### 1/5 — Bad company

*2026-06-29, version 6.30.0*

Their prices are extremely high, and their customer service is very poor. I don’t recommend that anyone use them.

### 2/5 — Too expensive

*2026-06-29, version 6.28.0*

Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Keeps sending notifications

*2026-06-17, version 6.28.0*

Irritating app like many others, keeps sending you messages and notifications. Spammy, annoying popups. Would give it zero do I could. How many times do you think I need to engage with a short term car insurance app?

### 2/5 — App is well made but useless for me

*2026-06-12, version 6.27.0*

I moved my old car’s insurance to my new car starting tomorrow because Cuvva was recommended to me by family members to cover the old car until it sells. The price for 28 days is about £30 less than I pay for a whole year, 14 days is £192 and it won’t let me modify anything to get the price down. It’s only going to be driven for test drives. The app only uses current location instead of taking where it will actually be stored. Chatbot was worse than a normal chatbot. Out of office hours so no human support.

### 1/5 — Quoted £900 for 28 day cover

*2026-06-09, version 6.27.0*

Quoted me £900 for 28 days despite having 2 years no claims and a clean license for my bmw 320d ed 2011 . What a rip off .

### 1/5 — Poor customer service !!!

*2026-06-06, version 6.26.1*

Poor customer service !!!
