Can I get temporary insurance cover for a non-UK resident?

My wife is a foreign national and lives and works in Brussels. She has a current British driving license. Autonet insures me to drive my car but is reluctant to insure my wife because she is not "resident" in UK, I want to insure my wife to drive my car for the brief periods she is in the UK, Can you please recommend a company that could do this?

Your current insurer may not offer this service but many insurers do. We would suggest using price comparison sights to obtain several quotes or temporary cover specialists who are more likely to offer insurance to non-UK residents.
