Review of the By Miles, Car insurance:

Fantastic car insurance for low mileage

5
I am a pensioner living in a rural area. I have a hybrid car and do about 5,000 miles per annum. My insurance quotes with other companies are around £500. With by Miles I just pay a small up front charge and then a few pence for each mile I do. (by Miles supply a tracker). They message me to tell me how much each journey costs, even if it’s only a few pence for a trip to the supermarket so I can keep track of my spend. At the end of the month I receive pre-notice of what will be taken from my account, then a statement on payment date. If I should do the odd long journey the amount is capped at 150 miles. It is absolutely brilliant. I can’t recommend the company highly enough for those who do a small mileage. Customer service folk are great too. Thankfully I haven’t had to make a claim so can’t report on that side of things, but expect it would be well handled like the rest of this service. Reviewed on: 3rd October 2022
