I am trying to organise temp car insurance for my sister for 5 days in October 2022

i have motor traders insurance, so cannot add to my policy.

I have tried a number of online brokers and portals.

main problem seems not to by my sisters Australia license, but the fact that the car is in Northern Ireland.

eg Keith Michaels would cover if car in GB

TempCover would not even accept me (ni driving license, car in NI) with a test quote I did.

any suggestions ?

    Have you looked at just having her hire a car for the 5 days? They'll deal with foreign drivers all the time and will include insurance as part of the deal.

    Try speaking to a broker in NI.

    And quite possibly cheaper.
