The app also includes features such as MOT reminders, tax reminders and advice on where to buy the cheapest petrol.
Since launching in 2016, the company has sold more than 40 million hours of insurance and has over 250,000 customers.
Cuvva’s Series A funding comes as the company prepares to launch a pay-monthly insurance product early in 2020.
