Part of the problem is if the young driver is the main driver (i.e. most
of the time). If this is the case, then using an older adult as the main
driver may invalidate claims if it becomes clear that there is another
car that the main named driver is using.
My daughter did quite well with quotes from Elephant.co.uk and Budget.

The point about extortion is well made; has anyone tried Endsleigh
Insurance.
They are brokers, not insurers, but they used to quote reasonable rates
for
young drivers. And older ones too for that matter!!
