Review of the By Miles, Car insurance:

Easy and affordable

I've been with them for a few years and have saved myself ££££s Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Finally, an insurer that works for me!

5
As someone who’s working and driving habits changed dramatically during the covid 19 pandemic, it was great to find an insurer that charges, as I use my vehicle. In addition, the customer app and usability of their service is excellent. Reviewed on: 19th August 2022

Great app & service , plus insurance is cheaper :-)

5
The app is brilliant. As a typical guy who likes stats & numbers, love the timeline so you can easily check mikes, routes and charges. Plus the car locator tool in the dashboard is ace. Brilliant concept and highly unlikely to go back to a traditional and old-fashioned insurance company. Reviewed on: 19th August 2022

Innovative approach to insurance

I think it is a refreshing and innovative way to pay for insurance. You pay for what you use. Simple but so very effective. Reviewed on: 19th August 2022

The BEST insurance for young/new drivers!

5
ByMiles provides brilliant insurance for young drivers. I passed my driving test over 1 year ago when I was 18 years old so for the first year my insurance cost was huge. I have now taken out insurance with ByMiles and they have saved me hundreds or pounds. Not only is the insurance nearly 3 times cheaper than my previous insurance with ‘MoreThan’, I am also saving loads of money per month, especially for the months I don’t use my car often. Not only that, ByMiles’ app is extremely easy to use and the customer service is great; I have had 1 or 2 questions and they have been answered back very quickly and very well. Absolutely brilliant all round! They really are ‘miles’ above the competition… Thanks ByMiles! James Reviewed on: 19th August 2022

Great so far

5
Great app that informs me of the miles I have done, how much the trip has cost and how many miles are left. Contacted customer service once and they were nice and friendly and received a follow up message quite quickly. So far so good and have recommended to friends and family. Reviewed on: 19th August 2022
