A revelation for low-mileage drivers

5
The By Miles car insurance has been a revelation for me. I use my car very little so this fairly priced product has been great for my needs. Reviewed on: 30th July 2020

i have waited for this type of cover for ages, i do recommend it to all my friends

5
As a senior citizen we seem to be targeted for expensive insurance because of our age ( going up every year) At last we are now being insured for the usage and not our age. Reviewed on: 30th July 2020

Easy to join, easy to use.

5
It was easy to sign up. I really like the immediate notice of cost upon using the car. I have recommended ByMiles to other low-mileage neighbours. Reviewed on: 30th July 2020

Brilliant customer service

5
Using byMiles has been super smooth for me, their customer service is great and online chat makes it easy to speak to someone to resolve any issues as quickly as possible - something I have found time consuming and frustrating with previous car insurers. The miles tracker is easy to install and comes with simple user friendly instructions. The app makes it simple to track your spend and best of all the cost is much more reasonable if you are not a regular long haul commuter. Reviewed on: 30th July 2020

***** Excellent Customer Service with great web chat facility providing instant responses to queries, with an easy to navigate web page set up. The in app experience is user friendly and informative.

Charging per mile

5
As a low mileage driver I was fed up with paying huge insurance bills. Being able to pay according to mileage driven is really an advantage Reviewed on: 30th July 2020

Best car insurance company by far.

5
Unbelievably modern thinking company , very responsive to emails. Their App is wonderfully informative. Reviewed on: 30th July 2020

Value for money

5
In these times of lockdown and self isolation caused by the Corona Virus, travel is now greatly reduced. By Miles give motorists the ability to pay per mile, rather than a fixed premium whether the vehicle is used or not. Similar to pay per view in the media. You only pay for what you use. Excellent idea. So glad I changed to By Miles. Reviewed on: 30th July 2020

Brilliant way of insuring your car for low mileage drivers

5
By Miles is an innovative and clever way of insuring your car for low to medium milage drivers. The more you drive the more you pay. Simple and fair. Might even encourage walking and exercise for some journeys where a car is not really necessary. Fair and honest car insurance, can’t get better than that Reviewed on: 30th July 2020
