Answer: Some insurers accept certain foreign licences and others do not. Country of licence, age and UK status can all matter.
First make sure the licence is legally valid for driving in the UK.
Use a provider that asks about the foreign licence properly rather than selecting a UK licence to obtain a quote.
Insurance cannot make an otherwise invalid driving licence acceptable.
