    Insurance for young male drivers is a killer full stop. Adding that high risk address just makes it worse. Is your son a student and that a term time address? You may find it cheaper for him to be insured at your home address only and not use his car at uni. Plenty of buses around Fallowfield and very little parking around the uni, so you can easily manage without a car during term time.

    Unfortunately we have been unable to find your address details based on the postcode "M14 3GS" you have provided. Please check the details entered

    --- edit

    M20 3GS is what you meant.

    Is that address fictitious address or the real one?

    You don't want to post a genuine address on the internet I understand, but if your genuine address is around M14/M20 your premiums are going to be high.

    Follow the guide for car insurance for young people, try adding your names to his policy etc
