Insurtech company Cuvva is urging the insurance industry to make their coverage options more flexible for UK students travelling back home for Christmas.

Each year, nearly two million students travel an average of 91 miles from their universities to their homes to spend the holidays with family. But this year will be exceptionally difficult for students, as restrictions in England have given them a strict travel window of only six days before national lockdown measures against the COVID-19 pandemic are reinstated, Cuvva said in a release.
