What UK car insurance companies will consider my Canadian driving experience?

I recently exchanged my Canadian driving license for a full UK license but insurance quotes are so high because most companies only consider that I haven't had my full license for more than a year (in fact I have had a full Canadian license for 8 years). The insurance companies also don't seem to consider that I have had no claims on my Canadian insurance for 8 years. Does anyone know of a UK car insurance provider that will consider foreign driving experience in their quotes?

1. I am not sure why. Did you bring both a driver abstract and a claims experience letter? There is a reciprocal agreement between Britain and Canada. We give full credit for British licence in Canada, and it is supposed to be 2-way. Good luck.
2. Try Liverpool Victoria - they are based in Bournemouth?? You can get a quote on the web, but in your instance I would call them and discuss your situation, I even got an introductory 1 year no claims bonus. Their number is - 0870 6004528 And good luck.
