Have a look at the Co-Op who do a black box policy for young drivers. Can bring it down a lot.
Also see the tips on here about adding you to the policy etc which can help.What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?0 -
Small car = big premiums
Despite their insurance group, they get classed as high risk due to the number of young drivers using and crashing them.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Just ran a quote through meerkats on a 1.6 GTI 207 (for example) with a SW7 postcode, Fully Comp is only £4700...unless your son's occupation is a bad one, I cant see it being 12 large?!
