What's the best way to insure a learner driver?

My grandson, 18 in November, is having driving lessons. Where can I insure him on a car owned by me as a named driver? I assume this is the cheapest method.

First check with your present insurer. It's generally much cheaper to add a young learner to an existing policy than it is to add him once he passes his test and becomes more of an underwriting risk. At that stage, telematics 'black box' insurance that monitors his driving will be cheapest.
