Excellent customer support

I was a little unsure as I’ve never had this type of insurance before. But I actually much prefer it.! It’s a more conscious was of driving and their support team is excellent and help with any starting hiccups. So far so good! Reviewed on: 3rd August 2020

Car insurance review

I have been a member of by miles for over 1.5 years. I can honestly say the by Miles team have provided outstanding customer service and due diligence from day one. I was already impressed by their service and customer service in particular but when Covid happened they went above and beyond to regularly update their customers with useful and practical advice and tips, which I found extremely helpful. They are a friendly bunch and always available on the other end of the line with their automated chat service which is brilliant. Cannot fault them and their prices are extremely competitive. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2020

Excellent service and prices

5
The customer care is brilliant and friendly. The overall price is a brilliant format and very much worth while. If your car doesn’t move you don’t pay anything. Again brilliant and have highly recommended to friends and family. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2020

Administration is diabolical

1
Given a policy renewal price on 11 July. Phoned and discussed issues on 13 July, such as 40% increase over last year. Stated I had found a policy somewhat cheaper. To reduce cost I stated that I did not want RAC breakdown cover. Policy still more expensive than my other quote so was given £60 credit on my miles charges. Received email several days later stating policy was Including breakdown cover. I then spent 3 days on the chat line to 3 different people who promised to resolve issues, non of them got back to me. 2nd August emails stating that monies have been taken from my account which include RAC breakdown cover. Used reply option but message failed, declared as Denied. Looks like yet another long conversation tomorrow, when I eventually get through. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2020

No issues whatsoever. Accurate
