Asking because a friend of mine was trying to insure his bike the other day and most insurers said they would not offer insurance till he changed his license to a British one, the ones that didn't mind wanted to charge him a few grand for the privilege

Nope, never had any problem, but I think we would pay a bit more if the policy was in her name (like £100 more), but she doesn't have any no claims discount either, so we have never put her on her own policy, though when I had an own fault accident in the car in 2008 and my no claims dropped from 6 to 4 years, I did get it quoted for her again, I was still cheaper. Both cars are in my name, with her named as the main driver on her car. When filling in the forms on comparison sites I just select the Full EU License option, for her and the Full UK for me.

Last time she had her own policy was in 2002 on a 1.9 turbo diesel Pug 306, she would have been 27 years old with no no claims and she was paying about £500 a year.
