A good value inside for low milage driver's

4
I've had a good experience of By Miles. Prompt efficient service and the price was competitive. I was also impressed that when it came to renewal time they lowered the price from the previous year. This was fair and also un usual compared to other insurers I've had experience of in all sectors. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Perfect for low mileage drivers

5
I would 100% recommended Bymiles it’s a complete no brainer, why, would anyone pay astronomical insurance when you can get first class cover and service and only pay for the miles you actually drive Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Pay by the mile and smile

5
One lump sum for all the major benefits of car insurance, no hassle sign up and pay by the mile absolutely leaps ahead of any other car insurance company I have ever dealt with. Magic little box that's easy to fix in your car and a easy to use phone app that doubles up as a tracker the whole package is a no brainer. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Excellent and friendly customer service

5
I needed a solution for my needs as most other companies would not offer me any discount for lower mileage driven over a shorter or longer period of time. ByMiles have given me an affordable option, after my car being too expensive to insure for 4 months. Well done, ByMiles!! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Brilliant car insurance - only pay for miles you drive!

5
I've been with By Miles for two years now and they're excellent value for money. Particularly in lockdown and using car alot less I'm saving £££ on car insurance. After paying an initial (very reasonable) annual flat fee you only pay insurance for the actual miles you drive. Lower mileage = lower costs. Win for the wallet & the environment!

Really easy and makes sense

5
I love how you can see your total cost and milage straight away in the app, and also see where you've been and at what time. It's a bit like a energy smart meter but for car insurance! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

easy to manage

4
charged as per actual mileages, it’s easy to understand and manage the budget Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Simple and trouble free

5
By Miles is a great insurance company if you are not doing too many miles. The set up is very straightforward and the added bonus is that the Application for iPhone/Android works very well, logging your journeys and even providing information as to the location of your vehicle. Don’t worry either, it’s not a Black Box and does not reflect on your speed, just your mileage. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

First Class

5
I continued with By Miles as the customer service was first class and hassle free. Now in my second year, I have no reason to go else where. Well done everybody. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
