Perfect

This policy is ideal for people like me who drive very few miles per year . The annual price I paid last year was £300 cheaper than my renewal quote ! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Pay as you go "simples" and honest.

So far so good, I pay for what I use after an initial payment. Encourages me to think about if the journey is important so it not only benefits my pocket but the environment too. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Pandemic money saver

only pay for mileage used! Being Furlonged and not using car means this is such a fair way to insure your car. Great product... Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Best car insurance by miles!

I’ve always been conscious of the miles I drive. Living in a city, I have access to public transport and local shops so only use my car for essential trips when I can’t use alternative methods like public transport. Lockdown has brought this into even sharper relief for me and I think shown others that it is possible to significantly reduce your mileage. It’s the shortest journeys that are actually the most damaging! With my pay-by-mile policy I'm actively rewarded for driving less. Seeing a total cost of 13 pence pop up on your screen when you’ve driven to the local shops makes you think twice about jumping in the car when you don’t need to. And a month where you have no charge for your insurance does the same. My last few statements have been less than a couple of pounds - and when I drove to the park the other day it was just 4.1 pence! I’m set to save between £200-£300 this year alone vs my old policy. As I get back to work post-lockdown, I want to minimise the amount of miles I’m doing by working remotely where possible and looking for opportunities to walk rather than drive. For every mile I reduce in my driving, it means I cause less pollution. By Miles worked for me when I was driving more, and now I’m driving less, it works even better. I’m glad there are companies like By Miles out there shaking up the industry and rewarding me for my choices to look after the environment! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Great service and price

As I use my car relatively infrequently my insurance payments reduced significantly. The policy was very easy to set up and the customer service has been excellent. I have recommended By Miles to a number of friends and two of them have taken out policies. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
