Insuring non-resident driver.

My son is a named driver for my Morris, but now lives in the USA. His UK license is about to expire and he will then only have a New York driving licence. When he does visit the UK, he can drive the Morris, (which he was driven to school in and drove to his wedding in), but I am unsure if I will now be able to get him insured as a non-resident and without a UK driving licence.
I will probably have to ring around, but wondered if anyone else has had similar experience and has any recommendations?

Why not renew his UK licence which may help with insurance.Its an online process so can be done from anywhere.

It seems that you have to be a UK resident to renew your licence, as that would have been the easy option. He has no permanent address in the UK, so cannot renew it. Using our address is apparently a criminal offence!

Are yes of course because of non residency.
If he is already on the policy as a named driver.
The insurance should except his US driving licence as licenced to drive the vehicle.
Good luck with it, I hope you can get it sorted.
