Tailored Competitive Rates with all the Protection You Need

Finally a company that's matches services to the user and provides competitive prices with the option for all the cover you need. I am no longer paying the same rate as a high mileage user and paying less for more cover. Thank you! Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

I have recently purchased a policy with By Miles and have so far been very impressed in a short space of time. The set up was easy, the app great to use and anytime I had issues while purchasing the policy customer service was helpful and fast. Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Excellent low cost insurance

Leveraging technology to give better risk based insurance and low costs to the consumer. Great email communication and very usable mobile application Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Just what I needed

5
I'd just changed my car and decided to change my insurer too as I'd recently become a less-frequent driver. (Retired from work, more house-bound through illness, you get the picture?) I realised I was paying high premiums to have my vehicle inactive on my drive for lengthy periods. Then I found By Miles - it was just what I needed. I think the pricing is fair and I can see at a glance all my journeys, by length and by cost, so I know what I'm paying "as I go" and I'm able to track everything - my journeys, my payments, the lot. I'm not sure whether my future driving will change in any way, but there's no way I shall be changing from By Miles. It's the best, er...by miles! Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

I never thought car insurance would be so fun!

5
Might sound odd, but it’s actually quite fun knowing exactly how cheap each journey is. The way by miles works is great, I don’t think I could go back to normal insurance now. Setup was very easy, customer service is great. The whole thing is superb. Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Pay as you drive, no nonsense

5
I have been using the service for a few months, it looks very good for me. Actually, it is the best for people who don’t use their cars a lot. Reviewed on: 10th September 2019
