Insuring a UK reg car in Ireland temporarily

[tvrolet]

My daughter working in Dublin right now - rented house but on a contract so arguably not a permanent resident. She took her car across from Scotland on the ferry to take some stuff to move in to the house, and the plan was to bring it back to the UK within the 90 day 'European travel' on her UK policy. She'd like me to 'ride shotgun' on the drive back, but with my work/holidays and her free time we need another week or so beyond the 90 days.

We've tried to get an extension on the UK policy (Aviva) for more time in Ireland but they won't. I've called loads of folks in the UK and they won't cover it as it's already outside the UK. I've tried companies in Ireland, and they won't cover it since the car is on UK plates and she's not a permanent resident. I guess we could argue the permanent resident bit with her rented address, but then it's still a UK reg car.

We just need maybe another 4 weeks insurance before we bring it back to the UK. Any ideas of friendly/flexible insurance brokers/companies that could help with this? Quite happy to cancel the existing policy and get a new one if it provides the extra cover we need.

Thanks

Holy thread resurrection Batman. I posted this query in 2015, and there was no practical and economic way to long-term insure a UK registered can in Ireland. She's still working in Dublin, but she took the car back to the UK and sold it a year and a half ago...
