OT: Need insurance for my 17 year old

Sorry for a bit OT, but lots on here should have experience.

The wife and I are both ~50.
We have Nissan 1.4 Almera, P reg and Nissan 1.6 Primera, L reg.

The Almera (group 6) is ~240, the Primera (group 9)~270 pounds.
Both fully comp with Zurich, including Green Flag. Neither of us have
claims, convictions, points.

My boy is about to turn 17 and getting a prov licence.

Zurich are asking for ~1000 to add to either car as a named driver.
Seems totally outrageous to me.
(Very little difference between Primera or Almera)

We can accept big restrictions, eg. he drives only accompanied by us,
daylight only, 3rd party liability only, etc.

Also, he can only drive one car at a time, so why can't they accept
him on both for same price ?

Is it possible for him to get his own insurance on (say) the Almera -
at maybe a lower price ?

So basically, I'm looking for suggestions for lowest cost insurance
for a 17 year old with a prov licence. I hear Tesco are cheap for
young drivers.

[BTW: My first insurance, at 17 cost 50 quid for 3rd party fire theft
on a Vauxhall Viva.]

Thanks in advance.

Fred
