We should finally be able to get back to the IK this summer (fingers crossed!). A relative has offered use of their car but their insurance won't allow them to add non uk drivers. I originally got my licence in the uk but had to turn it in to get my Canadian licence. I presume there are third party companies that I could buy a policy through. Any recommendations?

Thanks @Discovereads . The moneysupermarket one needs a uk licence but there are some others like www.completecovergroup.com/products/car-insurance-for-drivers-with-foreign-ncb/ I might try. Will look up honestjohn @newtb .

Sorry to jump on but anyone know what about when you’re a U.K. resident in a foreign licence? We’re moving back but because I’ve never had a U.K. licence I can’t even apply for a provisional until I’ve been resident for 183 days but can drive on my US licence for a year

Thanks @TheTeenageYears . Will get the relative to call again. Sounds easier! @TequilaShot not sure if your reply was for me or @KobaniDaughters ? @KobaniDaughters this might be a bit confusing now as two distinct issues - a separate thread might have been better.

Admiral/Elephant will insure UK resident with foreign licence and no requirement to have been resident for a certain amount of time. Go Girl/insure2go accept foreign licences. Look at Veygo for temp cover I think they accept foreign licence but must be UK resident. If this is a car which will be owned by you/spouse then try Keith Michaels, TL Dallas, Stuart Collins Brokers, Clements Worldwide. There are some others, I just didn't note down all the details if being UK resident was a requirement.
