Innovative /smart insurance

Prior to by miles, I was stuck paying insurance on a car that I didn’t use Monday - Friday (unless the odd evening) as I was working in the city. This insurance scheme is a dream come true for someone like me who wants the option to own a car yet not feel like they’re wasting £100’s on a car that is barely being used. I absolutely love by miles and it’s the most fair way of insuring a car. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Chat mail answered within 30 minutes not only with answer I required but also advice going forward. Constant contact during covid 19 and let me know when my battery was running low and what to do to resolve issues. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Cheap and cheerful for an ex-student!

I absolutely love Bymiles & can’t recommend it enough to my friends & family. I’ve just moved on from being a student, which means money is still a tad tight & I’m using public transport to get into work a bit more than usual. This has absolutely saved me, as I only have to pay for the miles I drive & due to this, my monthly insurance has been really low all year! Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, public transport has been a little less accessible but that’s okay, because I’ve paid so little for car insurance this year. That means even though I’m driving more than I had initially planned, I’ve made such savings over the previous months, that a few extra miles hasn’t dented my pocket at all! Additionally, Bymiles has been super supportive during the pandemic by sending out relevant and informative emails about how to make sure your car battery stays in tip top shape & opportunities to take part in incentives when referring your friends (which I would even if there was no reward!). I absolutely can’t recommend them enough & I recently discovered the cool features of being able to find the location of your car through the app AND run diagnostics on any issues. I can thank Bymiles for helping me figure out what the ongoing issue with my little car was and without them, I would have incurred much more charges over time. I’ve now decided to get a new car, and I love the fact that I was not faced with the fear of having heightened insurance because I have the reassurance and peace of mind, that myself, my car and my pocket will always be looked after by Bymiles. THANK YOU! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Really helpful and friendly staff. Best way to insure your car if you only do low mileage Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

How insurance should be done

4
This is how car insurance should be done, a pay-per-mile basis such that the less I drive the less I pay. Not only does this reduce my cost as a low mileage driver it encourages me to leave the car at home, good for my pocket and the environment! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
