![]() ![]() I also checked my own insurance, they simply state the driver should legally be allowed to drive the car, no specific requirement for a Dutch license. For example OHRA specifically won't pay out when the car is borrowed to someone without a valid dutch license (see 'Randvoorwaarden'). So do check the terms on the insurance of your friends car, the might forbid him from borrowing the car to foreigners.
