Car insurance / driving licence abroad (UK resident in Canada for 2 weeks).?

Question

I'm off to Toronto with my other half for two weeks to visit her Dad who lives there. I wont be hiring a car, as her Dad has kindly offered me the use of one of his cars.

I obviously want to be legal etc. Is my full UK drivers licence ok to drive on while i'm out there, and how do I get insurance for using his car? Not sure if he puts me on his policy over there, or whether my personal insurance has to be adjusted?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can drive on your UK license in Canada.  

Most likely his policy covers foreign guest drivers, but you should ask him and make sure.  If he needs to pay anything to add you, offer to reimburse him.  

Oh, and remember we drive on the right-hand side =)

Answer 2

Hi

UK licence is fine for up to six months

But he needs to get you on his insurance

Make sure you always take your licence with you when driving , if you don't have it they lock you up till some one brings it in !

Hope this helps
