Driving in the UK with a Canadian licence
Hello and help!
I surrendered my uk licence in april 2020 when i emigrated to Canada as a PR. I am a British Citizen, i still have ties in the UK with family and still have a UK passport. I came over on 23rd December to see family and i tried to get insured on my mums car as i was when i was here in February but been told as i have a canadian licence i cant. obviously a hire car is costly. just wondering if anyone had this issue before and how was it resolved? i dont need any comments on my choice to be here during covid and travelling etc etc. Its a personal matter |

Up until about five years ago, I could get added to my brother’s car insurance for a small supplement. That then changed for his company, and apparently most UK insurers - there are some that I hear still offer it but they are few and far between. Unfortunately the reputation of Canadian drivers isn’t good. I’ve had to resort to hiring a car the last couple of visits as there doesn’t seem to be another option. |
