Well priced

5
A bit tricky to set up initially but all works fine now. Nice to see your driving history on the app. I changed car early in the policy and transfer over to new car was seamless. Not needed to claim yet and hope I never will, but I guess that’s the true test of an insurer. It is less about how they behave when they are taking your premium and more how they behave when you want to make a claim. Would recommend trying them out. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Best insurance

Brilliant Insurance

I cannot recommend this company enough which I have been. I have got a few people signed up which in turn gave me bonus miles. The policy is great for lower milage drivers and even sometimes with those that get higher quotes due to their area. Getting in touch with customer service is brilliant, you do it on the app, I've never once not been able to resolve a problem. Replies are quick and helpful, these guys are just great. By using the app you can keep a track of your monthly mileage and also think about taking alternative routes in order to save even more money. The next step could be to get more advertisers involved so the client can earn themselves a few more bonus miles. Thank you Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Straight forward pricing and no nonsense

It does what it says on the tin - your travel determines how much you pay, which has been a no brainier during lockdown and for people who travel mostly local, you can’t go wrong. Surprised more companies don’t offer this! Reviewed on: 29th July 2020

Easy, cheap, fun

Modern insurance for modern drivers

In today's world many of us are working from home and trying to make for a greener way of living which often means driving less. By miles allows for this way of life by only charging you for what you use. While driving may be reduced, their service certainly isn't. I can speak from experience as my car was stolen and they quickly helped me to a cash settlement which meant I could get back on the road. I would highly recommend to people looking to only pay for what they are using with no reduction in protection or service. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
