Truly excellent insurance company

5
First of all is the low cost which cannot be beaten in my opinion. A very close second is the communication with the company which is second to none. You always know where you are with BY Miles, you can easily see the cost of a journey which brings peace of mind. Moving to BY Miles was the best decision of my life Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

BRILLIANT

5
Absolute genius way to insure your car! If you drive under 10,000 miles per year this is an excellent choice of insurance company as you only get charged for the miles you use. I personally save around £300 a year with this company and the App is excellent! You can use the App to monitor your miles, check your map, average speed and also as a car medic to check fault codes your vehicle may have like a diagnostics device. Overall very happy and I always 100% recommend to all family and friends. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Amazing customer service

We easy process end to end. Very good at resolving issues also. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Ideal for me

4
Everything was really simple and straight forward with setting up my insurance. I signed up pre Covid and have been amazed that as I’ve been shielding I’ve barely had to pay anything while my car has been sat on the driveway, only being driven around the block now and then for the batteries sake. Couldn’t have hoped for a better policy while I’ve been shielding and furloughed Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

If you don't drive a lot, completely makes sense!

5
I've been so impressed with how much I've saved by using By Miles and the way it helps track the mileage you do. Given I drive infrequently, By Miles makes much more sense than a blanket fee offered by other providers and being able to see how much each journey is costing me has actually incentivized me to drive even less and walk more!

Excellent Modern Car Insurance

5
ByMiles is the only modern, fair and transparent car insurance company I have come across in 10 years of driving. Not only does the policy ensure unnecessary journeys are cut down it also reduces traffic, reduces pollution and reduces dangerous driving as the driving information could be shared with authorities if required. All the above are reasons I chose to insure with ByMiles as well as paying a lot less for my insurance. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Ideal for a low annual milage driver

5
Very easy setup, policy layout and excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Just perfect

5
I drive occasionally and this is the first time I have managed to lower my premium significantly to reflect that. Also easy to keep track of business miles etc. I am more conscious of my driving habits now the insurance is an actual cost I'm doing fewer miles. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
