A friend of mine travels to the U.S. on business frequently on a U.S. business visa (foreign passport) and has a foreign drivers license. Are there any insurance companies that offer coverage for holders of a foreign drivers license? If not, how would someone with only a business visa to the U.S. acquire a US drivers license?

We partner with insurance comanies that will sell insurance to your friend with his foreign drivers license. However, he will most likely need to obtain a valid U.S. license shortly afterwards. He can find information on how to obtain a U.S. license by visiting the Department of Motor Vehicle's web site.

He can also comparison shop his policy by getting a car insurance quote here.
