Great pricing

5
So far so good. I was paying more with my old company Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Excellent Value and Service

5
By Miles are a great company, lots of useful communication (especially in the current Covid crisis) and Outstanding Value for money. As the number of miles I drive each year can change, this form of Car insurance is perfect. I would and have recommended ByMiles to my friends and family and all are interested in ByMiles when it's time to renew their own policies. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Paying By Miles

5
At first I was very sceptical with this company as i'd never heard of a company doing insurance this way. For my age group and the car I drive I was really struggling to find an insurance company that wouldn't cost a ridiculous amount each month (27 with a BMW M Sport) but with Pay By Miles i'm completely in control and can make my costs lower by monitoring what I spend via the app. I find i'm not using my car as much as I may have before as I can see what i'm spending day to day Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Ready for the road

5
I have been absolutely bowled over by the ByMiles app and all the information kept for me. Each journey is a choice so the monthly are up to me. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Why pay more for driving less

5
A brilliant idea for drivers of fewer miles. Since retirement I drive much less than I used to do, but still pay the same amount, so the idea of By Miles seemed to be my best choice. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Better than the rest By Miles

5
By miles were cheaper By Miles, and with the incentive to use less miles to keep your monthly premium down, is By miles head and shoulders above all other insurance companies. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

5* company

5
Had no issues at all, was easy to sign up and very straightforward. I have a work vehicle so my personal one doesn’t get used much, Bymiles was the beat company around for me in that regard. Couldn’t speak highly enough and always recommend family and friends to check them when looking at insurance. 5* Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

saved me so much money

5
I'm not a huge driver, so the option to pay for my insurance by the mile has saved me so much on my premium! Wouldn't go back! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Effortless and great value and brilliant app

5
The dongle arrived promptly, fitted right in. The site also avises whether or not the dongle will fit (really cool). The activation is painless and quick. Little bit adictive to keep looking at the details it gathers including fault codes from your car. If you are concerned about your young kids driving , you can see their location (with their awareness ofcourse) and can anticipate when they are likely to be back home safe. The major savings comes from paying only for what you use than what might be the usage. Ssaved me a lot of money during the lockdown. Well recommended. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Cheapest quote around

5
Amazing value for money. Great that I can see how much I am spending using the by miles app on my phone. I'll definitely be renewing with by Miles. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
