Great value! Friendly customer service!

It's so much easier being able to manage the family budget with this kind of service...plus it makes me much kinder to the environment by its very nature, which is also of importance to me. An excellently balanced insurance policy! Reviewed on: 11th September 2019

Miles Better with By Miles

5
So pleased to have switched to this innovative cost effective method of insuring my car. My relatively low annual mileage means a saving of around 33% on regular motor policy prices whilst retaining all the benefits offered by the major insurers and providing additional travel information via the app. Brilliant! Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Save money, join now. Reviewed on: 11th September 2019

Best car insurance provider for low miles

5
I think By Miles makes a lot sense, it's pay as you go car insurance. It also means you don't have to pay interest on the monthly payments. This is be best choice for those who do not use their lot. Reviewed on: 11th September 2019

Great way to pay for insurance

Great way to pay for insurance as not paying it all up front or in instalments with interest added Reviewed on: 11th September 2019

Pay as you go

I don’t think I completely understood when I was given the quote that the stipulated approximate sum was only for the mileage and I would have to pay an initial almost £200. Had I known that I would have probably not taken this insurance as it will cost me more in a year than other companies. I now have to very carefully plan my journey and opt for lifts and public transport to reduce my mileage, which wouldn’t have been a problem with a fixed rate insurance. Otherwise, I like the app and the instant notification of how much each journey will cost it. Reviewed on: 11th September 2019
