Anybody have any suggestions for companies I should get a quote from for insurance for my son?
18 years old and he's been driving almost a year. The car is a Punto.
All ideas welcome!

Admiral claim rolleyes to 'like young drivers' but I guess only a quote will confirm.

For others in a similar position, there was one company that beat the opposition by miles.
Quinn Direct (in Ireland).
They beat the nearest rival by nearly £600!!
The closest rival was eCar who were also considerably cheaper than the others. As a matter of interest, I requested some quotes from eCar for me and they halved my Range Rover insurance! You really do need to shop around every few months.

Thanks for the ideas, folks.

Sell the Punto and get a kit car, the insurance will be cheaper and you get a quicker, classier and rarer car.
