Great car insurance product

A flexible policy with clear costs which suits me as a lower mileage driver compared to more traditional products which charge a completely fixed fee. Reviewed on: 11th August 2020

I've not only saved money, but I've received a better experience from ByMiles than previous insurers. I recommend them to all my friends and family because of this. Reviewed on: 11th August 2020

Fair prices and excellent customer service

After being quotes horrific amounts by other companies it was real relief to find by miles. You don’t have to navigate frustrating websites and endless inflexible online forms. My situation was not straightforward but an extremely pleasant and helpful customer service representative listened carefully and tailored a policy to my needs at a very good price - £800 less than the previous cheapest quote! I receive monthly accounts and mileage details and they even emailed to warn me that my battery was getting low during lockdown! This is my second year with by miles and I look forward to a long and happy association with them. Reviewed on: 11th August 2020

Excellent service

I joined by miles last year and would not change back to other insurers. I was quoted £800 for my car which was ridiculous as I had been driving 30 years without a claim or accident. I came across by miles on the Internet and got a quote amazing price, I paid £150 upfront then pay monthly for the miles I drive. After working it out it came to only £250 a year fully comp with business thrown in. A lot different to £800 staff are very good. Thank you By Miles Reviewed on: 11th August 2020

Fantastic value for money

What a find! For lower miles and for those under 76 By Miles cannot be beaten. I saved over £300 this year Reviewed on: 11th August 2020

The dogs whatsits....

I was indeed sceptical about the insurance. I mean, "how can my monthly direct be £3.55 for car insurance? I gave it a go...and was not disappointed!!! They're the real deal, 100% kosher and absolutely the dogs whatsits. I will not be needing to look for another insurer EVER! So happy I took the chance on them...you should too.

Insurance for the savvy person

Having had disappointing experiences with big name insurers, I took the plunge with By Miles and have been pleasantly surprised by the simplicity of their product, clear pricing and the ease of the dealing with them. I wish I had signed up sooner! Reviewed on: 11th August 2020
