I had just been reading about "Jag har bil" and how you do not need an indefinite article so I tried to write "Du har besökare" ... and it turns out I do have to put in the EN besökare. I'm so confused.

Literally besök is 'visit', which makes the prepositionless expression 'ha besök' a bit more logical (more like lyssna på radio and ha bil).
You can say Du har besökare, only that would mean 'You have visitors'.

That's just how they work. It's mentioned here: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/sv/Plurals
They all work like this:
en besökare, besökaren
besökare, besökarna
Yeah, that'd confuse me, too... I think jag har bil can be considered idiomatic. For most phrases, you do need an article. But there are lots of exceptions, and I believe most of them match the English ones - e.g. names of diseases.
My keyboard will not write this, I have tried 3 times but as soon as I type the o (with umlaut) of besok the e of en disappears. It has never happened before.It has never happened to any other sentence.
