I've been through this before. First, find out if your
buddy can get an "open pilot" clause. He'll be covered for
anyone who meets the experience requirements of that clause.
They are getting harder to get, so if he doesn't have open
pilot, he can get your name put on his policy.

As you don't yet have your licence, it's fair to assume you're
inexperienced. Unless your friend wants to pay vast amounts for "any pilot"
insurance, it's definitely going to be cheaper to have you as a "named
pilot" on the policy.

As a guide, a friend of mine looked into getting an "any pilot" clause in
his insurance, and the only way to keep the cost sensible was to have a
minimum experience requirement of 200 hours.
