Fantastic value

I love the way this insurance works, it is so well suited to the number of miles I travel so works out excellent value. I've found the staff incredibly helpful and friendly. And the Find My Car and Car Medic part of the app are great features that have come in handy several times. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Makes it worth having a car in London

5
I've been with By Miles since they began in 2018, and I can tell you they've been nothing but amazing. I don't use my car to commute but I need it at weekends, and the insurance cost with a regular policy was starting to look pretty crazy. With By Miles, the base annual cost is a tiny fraction of what it was before. The per-mile charge is pennies, so I can have a day driving around the local area for a few pounds, and then save money for the rest of the week when the car is parked up. You can think about it like this: insurance is based on risk. Regular insurers will be giving you a price based on pessimistic (high) usage estimate, and therefore a high risk. A per-mile policy, because it literally only switches on when you're actually driving, is therefore based on the (much lower) real risk, unless you're someone who drives long distances on a daily basis. It's worth getting a quote - even if you use your car more than I do your total milage might still make By Miles worth your while. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Really good for low mileage drivers

Has saved me about £150 a year. Easy to install and use Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Perfect for my needs

5
Delighted to find a policy that suits my needs. I can sometimes go a couple of weeks without using my vehicle. I’m quite happy to pay a fixed fee to cover my car at home and then pay a supplement depending on my mileage. ‘By Miles’ you may say. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

By Miles Better.

5
Based on average mileage covered during last couple of years, I saved £120 for same level of cover. A few simple steps on line and job done. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
