Answer

Can driving without a licence affect your car insurance in Mallorca?

Yes. If someone drives without a valid licence and causes an accident, the insurer may refuse to cover the damage. That can leave the driver facing major costs on top of any legal penalties. In Mallorca, this risk applies whether the car is privately owned, borrowed or used informally.
