Brilliant and convenient insurance provider with top customer service!

5
By Miles offered them lowest up front premium, expected premium per annum, and excess (saving over £500). My first tracker was lost in the post and they quickly dispatched a new one to me before my premium began. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Easy to set up, good customer service

5
So easy to get a quote and arrange your car insurance, there’s no hidden fees. And how convenient is to pay by miles in current climate where working from home is the new normal ;) Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

At last - Insurance that gives more than you have to

5
It's simple really, I finally feel that I am paying a fare price for my protection whilst driving, for on the face of it all the usual insurance requisites of cover are there. Sure some are add'ons that cost a little extra to the base price but they must be taken into context that - as with all insurances - it for you to choose the level of cover, and the prices where minimal by comparison to my experience with other companies. I haven't driven the car for 3 weeks so haven't paid any extra costs, in fact I only paid approx 4 pounds the month before for about 8 journeys which read in the pence for each. I reckon at the end of the year I will easily have saved 400 pounds or more, and this is a conservative estimate. At last - insurance that gives more than you have to! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Excellent

Affordable, easy, simple car insurance Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Great prices and app

5
Annual cost was a fraction of going with other main stream insurers for the low mileage I do. It also includes all the extras you would usually want i.e. windscreen cover, courtesy car etc. The app is fantastic, as well as vehicle tracking. Definitely recommend and have recently renewed the policy. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

New approach to Car insurance

5
Really liked this car insurance company, as a person who rarely drives but still needs a car from time to time, this insurance company provided the exact service I required. It's nice to know that I only get charged for the times I actually use the car while not being forced to live in a dystopian world where my driving habits are monitored by big brother.

Great for Low Mileage Drivers

5
As I only drive very occasionally it was great to find a company that lets me pay for the mileage I do. Even with the initial payment, it still works out at about 2/3 less than I was paying before. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
