Which insurers will allow a visitor with an EU licence to drive my car. Mine won't. It's really silly. A good driver, 40 years no claims on her own car,

    Unfortunately, it's just one of those things insurers do not like doing.

    Getting a non-UK-resident, foreign-national (any country) driver onto insurance has always been hard.

    I blame Brexit (even if it's not true).

    No sillier than many other UK rules.

    Just like a British resident can't drive a non-UK registered vehicle.

    Temporary insurance from disruptors like Cuvva might work if they have the right IT systems.

    Just as a temporary addition or for the duration of the policy?
    I didn't have much trouble adding a family member from NZ to a policy for a day. I think it was Direct Line, but it was long enough ago that I can't be sure I'm remembering correctly.
