Review of the By Miles, Car Insurance:

Best for value and Customer service level is top notch!

5
When lockdown hit I realised I was spending a fortune on insurance even though I wasn't able to go anywhere in my car. I looked at lots of different insurers and came across by Miles. It made sense that as I wasn't driving much that I should aim for an insurance that charged by the mile. It saved me a fortune. I now work from home full time so I decided to renew the insurance in the hope it would continue to save me money. When renewing I got a cheaper price per mile which made me feel valued as a customer. I do drive daily to different places so I can get my shopping, take my toddler out etc but it never works out more a month than your average pay monthly insurances. When we have been on extremely long journeys the miles are capped at £10 a day which means you don't have to worry about travelling to far on the miles. This makes a huge difference when travelling on hidalgo or trips to the zoo. I have had queries regarding different things during my time with bymiles and everytime the customer services have been amazing. They are friendly, polite and will do anything in their power to help. There is an app that you can download to track your miles, this has features on it that mean you can scan your car for any error codes, you can see exactly how much your insurance is at any time during the month and you can even put a destination in to check how much it would cost in miles and fuel before commencing on your journey. The app also includes all of your policy details and your previous bills. It is a very well thought out application is easy to use. I can not recommend this company more! Amazing all round.

Getting By Miles for my car insurance is the best thing I have ever done. The savings have been an absolute god send for me. I have saved half compared to my last insurer. I would not use anyone else now. A brilliant company to deal with. Reviewed on: 5th October 2022

Love the whole thing!

I started my policy as I wasn't driving in/out of work 5 days a week, but I have since moved at work Mon-Fri and the cost is still very reasonable and has been cheaper than other insurers who wanted a total upfront cost. It allows me to space my finances too, given the current finacial situation. I also love that it's capped at a certain distance for the day so I don't have to worry about spending a rediculous amount. Reviewed on: 4th October 2022

One of the worst customer service of the UK!

1
Concept is great, but don't bother. You received automatic sms and emails asking you for urgent action (to avoid your policy being cancelled). But you will never be able to reach the customer service. No call back, no answers to your request (in their own set 72 hours timeframe). If they don't improve customer experience, they will disappear. Simple as that. Very poor experience! Reviewed on: 4th October 2022

Perfect for me

5
Working away a lot and on occasion having long period where I am not using my car. Using bymiles and paying only when you drive is perfect for me and makes paying for insurance without the use of the car a thing of the past. It’s easy to install the tracker. The tracker also acts as a gps tracker and a diagnosis tool to know what to tell your mechanic and the customer service team are also excellent Reviewed on: 4th October 2022

All round fantastic insurer

Simple, easy and I'm not overcharged. The tracker in the car is a massive plus and recently helped diagnose a fault with the car that I would have had to pay a diagnostic fee for otherwise! Reviewed on: 4th October 2022
