Car insurance

Hi everyone, 

I'm travelling back to the UK for 6 months and will be using my mum's car. She went to add me as a named driver but it was refused as I am a non UK resident. I still have a valid UK driver's licence registered to her address. 

Does anyone know of any insurance companies that will accept a named driver who is a non resident? 

Thanks

Hi Chris. You could wait until you're back in the UK so technically you are resident again, then ask your mum to add you then?

Don’t you have to be in UK for at least 3 months to be considered as resident ? 
I'm also not sure that a UK  licence is valid as I think you actually have to be classed as resident to use it - worth checking out as if there was an accident you might not be assessed as having a valid licence and eould cause problems with insurance
