Easy to set up and a great way to approach low mileage insurance

The GPS device arrived quickly and was easy to set up. Never had any problem speaking with the online assistants - all have been very helpful. For me it is a great way to keep costs low, and it gives me an incentive to walk or cycle. Reviewed on: 31st July 2020

Perfect Insurance Product

5
By miles is the perfect insurance company for those who, perhaps don’t drive lots of miles throughout the year. The pay-as-you-go (by mile) monthly payment rewards those drivers who don’t drive far and perhaps use their car infrequently. The up-front fee to insure your car ‘parked’ outside your home isn’t excessive and is fair. After this initial payment you then pay for the miles you drive that month, simple, transparent and fair. By miles has ensured that my premium has reduced from the previous year (by 40% in my case), and I will certainly be renewing my car insurance with by miles. I wholeheartedly recommend By miles.
