I have come to the United States as a traveler, and I have an international driver's license only. (I previously held an United States driver's lincense, but it expired.) While I am staying in America for next six months, I would like to drive my brother's car with insurance. Unfortunatlely, my brother's insurance company is not willing to cover a driver with an international driver's license. I would appreciate any recommendations. I need liability coverage only.

Unfortunately, most insurance companies will require you obtain a driver's license from the state which you reside within thirty days of the policy's inception or being added to a policy as a driver. I would suggest you look into purchasing a 'named non-owner' policy. This policy will provide coverage for liability, medical payments, and uninsured motorist coverages for someone who does not own a vehicle and will be operating a vehicle owned by someone else. But, again, you may need to obtain a driver's license for the state you are residing.
