Cuvva is a London-based fintech start up offering flexible insurance through its mobile app. The company was founded by Freddy Macnamara.[1] In 2017 they launched their travel insurance in their simple, customer friendly app, making buying travel insurance quicker and easier than ever.
In 2020 they are set to launch a monthly car insurance subscription which aims to change the way people think about their insurance. It works in the same way as a Netflix subscription - customers provide their details, are given a monthly price, and let it roll on the background. The product is also out to change the negative customer experience by offering fee-free cancellations, no extra charges for paying monthly and the option to manage everything (except claims) through their easy-to-use app.
