ConceptMacnamara has said that the company was inspired by a 2013 conversation in a bar where he commented to a friend that "It was ridiculous that you couldn’t borrow a car for an hour, because of the difficulty of getting short-term cover [...] I could order an Uber or a Deliveroo to my house, but I couldn’t buy insurance for a short period quickly."[4] The company's business strategy is designed to offer an alternative to annual insurance to drivers who cover fewer than 4,000 miles per year. [5] [6] As opposed to paying a flat annual rate, customers pay a monthly fee and top up with hours of premium insurance.[1] Traditional short term car insurance policies offer a minimum time range of 24 hours.[7] The company takes commission and fees on every cover sold.[4]FundingThe company raised over £2 million in funding since 2014 from various investors including Techstars Ventures, Tekton Ventures, Seedcamp, Nick Hungerford (founder of Nutmeg) and Ian Hogarth (founder of SongKick).
