Direct Line and AP Care Insurance

[GreatDadinTraining]

Oops stuck now!
AP arriving in 3 weeks. I contacted Direct Line to have her put on the policy, but they tell me they do not add anyone who is not a "permanent UK resident".
This seems bizarre given that huge numbers of people live in the UK and drive cars and are not UK residents.
Any ideas about who I can go to next?
Cheers

Quite common to have insurers do this. You just need to change insurers. Tesco value ( not the normal tesco) are ok with au pairs but you have to go through tesco website as they don't appear on comparison sites.

If your ap is 21 or under be prepared for a further shock. Premium will be sky high.

You may get further problems if ap is not eu. She may have to do uk driving test with 12 months, depending on where she comes from.

We've always added our AP to our joint car policy from Admiral, it has never been a problem. They have all been over 21 and EU

Thanks for the comments and sorry for the delay in replying.
After pulling my hair out a little, eventually spoke to Admiral who were hugely helpful, so Direct Line get the boot!
Thanks again
