I used bymiles for a year as I didn't travel much, the service was great, when ever I had a question I could just put it in the chat and I would a reply soon after or have a conversation there and then, sometimes they could be busy but hardly happened to me. Always was pleased to help and I never felt I was asking to many questions. If I had to take my car in for a service I would just pop it in the chat and obviously they would ask a few security questions but then I would just say it was in service and the device may be removed for this. Never an issue. Just let them know. I drove to Cornwall and they cap it 150miles for a day so anything after that was free, so cost me no more then £10 to get there and £10 back. I changed my car and they helped me move the insurance across to the new car with a new agreed price which wasn't any extra, they even showed a screen shot of where to put the plug in device. I did learn this after I took out 1 day insurance as I was in a rush and didn't consider just changing it over, just need to check the car is compatible for the device but they probably have solutions for that I would believe. If I wasnt going to be doing more miles from now on I may had stayed with them, and the renewal was more. You just got to save up for the initial deposit (parked fee) and then you pay each month for the miles used. You can also track the car with the device on the app, always an added bonus and peace of mind it's where you left it. Lol. Insurance will only cover you for that car as it linked to the device and car reg. Overall very happy. Probably would be good for a deaf person as it's all done by text on the app, no phone, well I didn't phone them ever anyway.

Really good if you don’t drive a lot . The best thing is £100 worth of miles credit for signing up friends and family. https:// bymiles.co. uk/ refer / OY66GMG Just remove the spaces

The best insurance option

When u found out about by miles I was thrilled, it just made sense to only pay for the miles I used, and since I wasn't using my car as often during this pandemic it was really ideal

1) I made a geniune mistake in not realising that I need to put a device in my dead cigarette lighter.. I didnt read the blurb. So this error cost me 50 pounds. Ouch.. As they have charge me 50 pounds for an administraton fee. Of which they wont refund.
2) There customer services did not cancel the policy of when i asked them for it.
3) The claims company did not recogonise my car registration, heavens knows what would of happen if I had been involved in a car accident.
Stay clear of this uncaring company, of which has refused to get a manager to speak to me.
I wish i could show documentated proof of how i have been treated by this company. Just abysmal. *DO NOT USE*
There refund policy sucks, when it takes 21 days to refund to my card. What the hell. So they hold onto your money.

I would say I have left reviews for maybe 4 or 5 organisations in the last 15 years. It’s just not my thing. But, I’m doing this because I just find the service absolutely top notch. The concept itself is absolutely clever and in my opinion, ingenious and at the same time very simple and straightforward. You pay an upfront charge for when car is not been driven and then get charged per mile you drive. At first, I thought it was a gimmick; there’s got to be a catch. Maybe the by-mile cost would be high. Maybe the initial lump cost would be high. But nope. The mile cost is 3.1p per mile (slightly up from 3.0 last year, but that’s minimal). For my own policy, the lump sum was £178.73 for the whole year. This is a reduction on my last year’s bill, which was more than£200 (still low for what it is fir me). You know the crazy thing, this is including the premiumI had to pay for having a speeding ticket! So, it could have been cheaper!
I drive very little. About 4 to 10 miles per day on a 5 day week. So, it adds up to nearly nothing when you compare to what I’d pay for other types of insurance (I was quoted between £500 to £750) by other insurance!).
Then there’s the app. Very sleek, smooth and functional with tools to help you do all sorts of things. As a geek, this was an absolute bonus. You can see every single journey you’ve made, know exactly how much you’re using and how far you’ve driven. Your whole policy and everything to do with it is on the app. No paperwork anywhere. The app can wirelessly diagnose problems with your car and give you the problem code (right now, I have a p0646 diagnosis, which I’ll be taking to my mechanic). You can pre-plan a journey to see what it’ll cost you before you start and loads more….all in a very simple and intuitive app.
Are they perfect? Well, you are best off using this if you do not drive a lot or drive short distances to gain the most benefit. Even so, there’s a cap on how much you’re charged per day, irrespective of mileage (can’t recall the exact cap). Oh, and if you park your car and can’t find it, the app can help you trace the car! Fir me, it’s the best type and way to insure your car. I was with them last year and did not hesitate to renew (even before I knew that I’d be paying cheaper). Do not hesitate. Go for it!

If you’re lucky and introduce someone, you do not even need to pay for the miles you drive. I did not pay a penny last year as I used the referral to get some family on. To get a £50 credit (and I get too), use this link https://bymiles.co.uk/refer/FE13VOG

Even if you chose not to, don’t hesitate to join them. You’ll thank me! And no, I do not work for them. Just a very happy customer.

Oh and if you add recharging your battery due to the tracker draining it, and tracker fee of £50 and £800 excess if its disconnected, you'll understand why i give them 1 star!
