Car Insurance for Teenage Boy

[WhereAreTheCakes]

My 18 year old just passed his test. He had an old small engine Clio worth £1700.
Looking for insurance quotes - he is the main driver - cheapest I'm getting is around £2700. Spent hours on internet sites and direct ins companies.

Anyone any ideas of who can do cheaper or anyone had a DC who has done an advanced driving course which brought the premiums down.

Thanks

Marking this thread as have a 20 year old student DS who has been on our insurance but will soon be getting his own car (also a basic Clio).
A friend who insured her two sons a year or so ago found Direct Line to be the best (and possibly the cheapest) but this may now be out of date.

Cover box...aimed a young drivers, he will have to have a tracker fitted though!

Quick update for anyone else in same situation.

Just about every site aimed at young drivers was more expensive than the average of £2,700.

An advanced driving course costs about £130 and will reduce the premium by about £130!
Direct Line, Esure and Churchill would not quote.

Tried multiple car ins with Admiral and quote came in at £3,900 which as it only costs £180 to insure my own car, £200 for husband's meant this it was going to cost over £3,500 for the Clio!

Finally went with Aviva - taking a two car policy cost just under £2k. My poor credit card:(
