Young driver car insurance

Hi all could you give me any pointers on how to get a good quote for my son? He’s 17, passed his test Tuesday & has a car already that he’s been using as a learner with specific learner driver insurance.
ive tried getting quotes with both me and his dad on and they’re still coming up at £1800 minimum.

I’ve been here before with my daughter so I expected a big quote but wondered if there’s any more tips I can try?
Obviously he’s the main driver , owner etc so I’m not looking at fronting, however tempting!
He’s not currently employed ( waiting for RAF), and of course happy with a black box.
thanks
thanks

Use a comparison site to see what comes up. There's not much you can do to change the fact he's a new driver and £1800 is fairly good.0

if you can, avoid blackboxes, they are not always accurate and a hassle for some"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

£1800 is actually very good for a 17 year old! Some get minimum quotes of £3000-£4000
If he can't afford it then wait a couple of years. It'll drop significantly.0 -
Change the car? That may help. You maybe able to buy a car and insure it for the sum quoted
so far.
In our case a not too old Fiat 500 was the cheapest with a new shape KA being the next cheapest.
Maybe not the car the youngster wants but if the price counts then its a fun car to drive. brought
back memories of driving classic Mini's virtually flat out everywhere and not breaking the speed limit.
