Our lad will be 17 on Sunday and we have been through the rigmarole of getting car/Insurance sorted for him. Can't claim that this is the 'best' answer, as I am sure that there are loads of different combinations out there - however, Adrian Flux seem to have a good approach to this:
We've got granny's old Fiesta - worth about £250 but went through the MOT with a couple of really minor issues (about £100 to sort) - registered in his name, with him as the policy holder - came in at just under £400 for the year. Just to point out that this is a specific policy for learners - invalid after 12 months or as soon as he passes his test, whichever comes sooner - partial refund available up to 8 months in.
Understand that this would not work for everyone, but seemed like a good option for us and may be of interest to others out there.
We found a massive difference on the price comparison sites - tried 3 major ones - cheapest result varied from £400 to £1200! In the end we called Adrian Flux directly and got a slighter better deal than via the comparison site.
