Cheapest way to insure a young male driver

[Footbath]

Suggestions please on the cheapest way to get cover for my son who is 17 and about to take his driving test.At the moment the quotes are around �1500,which seems a huge amount of money.

what car are you trying to insure him on? this makes a massive difference in pricing , also may be worth waiting until after his test as this will help with the premium cost, is he in a position to take the advance drivers course this will also bring premium down,? lastly put car in parents name and name your son as a named driver, really is a case of just shopping around, for obvious reasons the make of car is important,to the costs of the insurance , TRY to get him to have a small engine sized car non modified and build up the no claim bonus, best of luck
