Hi

Any help appreciated on the above. Background is she holds a full American Lic and is aged 36. She is being told by Insurance Companies that she must have an Irish Lic before they will quote (she has 2 years driving experience in Ireland using rentals).

Quinn direct have quoted her Partner €860.00 with open driving but he cannot get confirmation from them that open driving covers someone who does not hold an Irish Lic

Thanks

An American driving licence does not qualify you for a full Irish driving licence.

She could get a Provisional irish drivers licence and get insured under that

I am aware of that. The point I was making is that they will not quote because she has no Irish Lic. Given that she has done US driving test and passed the holding of a Provisional Lic shouldn't of itself make much difference (imho) to an Insurance Companies assesment of the risk.

I don't think its the insurance companies assessment of the risk but the rules see here.

You could contact the AA and see what their view on the matter is
