Lollie Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Normally I have hired a car on my return visits to the UK, but this time my sis has offered the use of her car. However she cannot get me as an additional driver on her insurance as I dont have a UK license I passed my test there 25 years ago, and changed to a french llicense five years ago, most short term insurance policy ask for a UK licensee. Anyone had this problem and found an insurer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollie Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Tried these and they say no. Is there a difference between a French licence and an EU one? I Have the pink Paper one exchanged from a UK one. I have a quote from Aviva £105 for 5 days, to hire a car with Hertz £78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 A French licence is an EU one, just as a UK one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 That's just bonkers, of course a French licence is an EU one, are they dense or what ?Tell them to read their own FAQ:What type of licence is acceptable?We accept Full UK, EU and Australian or New Zealand Licences subject to Terms and Conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
