Can an Australian visitor drive a UK car?
What you need to know
The official licence checker is the appropriate starting point because visitor status and licence details matter.
If you use a temporary quote service, provide your Australian licence and residential details exactly as requested.
Never select a UK licence or UK residence option if that is not true simply because it produces a quote.
Need short-term car insurance?
If you are eligible and need temporary cover, you can compare available short-term insurance quotes and check the territorial limits of the policy offered before you buy.
