If you need to drive and can’t afford to a hire car, there’s a new option, getting Cuvva’d. The on demand Cuvva app lets you get hourly car insurance on a friend’s car in a matter of seconds. It's taking the Uber experience to car insurance.

With hourly fees as low as £7, festival-goers are typically looking at somewhere in the region of £20 to £40 to get insured on a friend’s car for both legs of the journey.

Cuvva was recently featured as app of the week in Gizmodo and Digital Spy. The new Cuvva ‘Social Garage app’ launched on the June 12^th allowing festival-goers to see which of their Facebook friends they can borrow cars from.

Glasto-goers trying Cuvva for the first time can get a £5 discount here.

GETTING THERE BY CAR SHARE

Glastonbury partners with GoCarShare to help festival-goers travel sustainably. It means that people driving can fill up their car with festival-goers going the same way.

The GoCarShare platform leverages Facebook so you can be sure that everyone you travel with likes the same music.

This year GoCarShare are launching their ‘Star in your Car' campaign. Meaning that a select group of Glastonbury’s most outrageous artists will be performing in unsuspecting drivers' cars to the festival.

More information is available on the dedicated GoCarShare Glastonbury site, or the app.

GETTING THERE BY CYCLE

Cycling in just under 12 hours from London to Glastonbury is doable – meaning that you can make it in a day. Expect to burn over 6,000 calories.

It might be worth thinking about doing it in two though. If you do, there are plenty of Airbnb’s enroute. There are a number of additional benefits for Glastonbury cyclists.

There’s a lock up zone, a special cyclist's campsite and a return bike service if your legs don’t fancy it on the way back – if you do, and you’re cycling east, you should have the prevailing wind giving you a helping hand on the way back.

More information is available on the Bike to Glasto site.

TRAVELLING BY COACH

The first coach leaves from London on Wednesday at 14:30. A full list of coach times nationwide and prices are available here.

TRAVELLING TO CASTLE CARY

Castle Cary is the nearest train station and is located approximately 6 miles from the festival site. There is a free bus service transporting people from the train station, note there is no parking.
