I'm also, to my knowledge, covered on a UK car in the UK on a UK policy. Again a copy of my driving licence was requested - but a second (and female) driver actually reduced the premium. That is also with LV so def worth checking with them - www.lv.com

BTW the issue is more likely non-residence, which the CH license idicates, whereas an EU/EEA license doens't necessarily indicate non-residence as you can keep your EEA Liechtenstien license until 70, living in the UK without a requirement to exchange it.

So as a local, do you regard yourself as "resident" for the time you are on holiday? Even as an Irish citizen, I'm regarded as settled the day I arrive in the UK,until I leave. I'm therefore entiteld to be insured provided my license is valid. (even if I'm driving on my Swiss license in the 1st year of residence).

Of course from an underwriting perspective UK licenses are expected, but EU/EEA licenses have to be recognized too....unfortunately a Swiss license isn't an EU/EEA license but a "recognized designated country" license.

For the record I had no problem in 2005 getting a German insurance Policy on a German car on my Swiss license. I was resident on arrival though and the Swiss license was valid at the time of the Policy coming into force.

I also phoned LV up and they said yes that is no we will insure you with a swiss licence. I asked them to check again. They assumed Switzerland is in Europe. ( EU) . They came back to me and said that I was not insured and they are sorry for the mistake !!
