Car insurance for non uk driving licence

If you’re driving a company car, it’s your employer’s responsibility to make sure you have the right cover – that would be business car insurance. However, fleet insurance policies often exclude non-UK licence holders, so you may need to get a UK driving licence to be covered this way.

Thankfully, there are ways to save on your car insurance if you’re a non-UK licence holder. First, be sure to shop around with specialist insurers. There are many providers that welcome foreign licence holders, and some will even transfer your no-claims years so you get a discount straight away.

If you have a non-exchangeable international licence, you’ll have to take a driving test to get your UK licence. You can apply for a provisional licence and take your test once you’ve been resident in the UK for six months. You may have to do this to be covered to drive a company car.
