Can Marshmallow insure me without a UK driving test?

Yes. You can still get insured with Marshmallow even if you have not passed a driving test in the UK.

We can insure:

  • Policyholders with a valid international driving licence

  • Additional drivers listed on your policy who also hold an international licence


How long can I use my international licence in the UK?

We can insure you for up to 12 months on your international licence, no matter which country it’s from.

After that period, UK law may require you to exchange your licence for a UK one. The rules vary depending on the country your licence was issued in. You can check the specific rules for your licence on the official UK Government website.


Do I need to live in the UK to get insured?

Yes. We can only provide insurance to UK residents. You’ll need to be living in the UK to purchase cover with us.


In summary: You don’t need to have passed your driving test in the UK to be insured with Marshmallow. As long as you’re a UK resident with a valid international licence, we can cover you for up to 12 months.
