brilliant new way to do car insurance

Thank god i found them.

I have a bmw x3 2007. I do aboutor less than 5000 miles a year. I work away from home alot and have a works van. The car used to cost me on average £500 a year to insure. Since i found out about buy miles it gone down to £203. Then 4.1 p a mile therafter. I joined approx 3 months ago and have spent approx £4.00 on the mileage ive done in that time. At that rate it will cost me approx £12 .for the rest of the year. It an absolute no brainer to me. What a brilliant idea i wish i had thought of it. Well done to bymiles anf all its staff. I shall ofcaurse be renewing my policy till the day i pop my clogs. Lol Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Future of insurance

5
Proper honest insurance once you get set your price per mile your away and there is no hidden charges in fact they seem to round down to the nearest mile I cant recommend this type of insurance enough soon all insurance companies will offer this option I think thanks to bymiles setting a new standard.

Prices for someone who doesn't use their car much cannot be beat and interaction via the app has been painless Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Great,cost efficient choice!

Price came in much cheaper than elsewhere. Fully comp so no worries at all. If you don't do loads of miles this is the right choice,my yearly payment was halved. Can't recommend enough,5***** Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Refreshingly good service

5
Only paying for the miles you use is such a good idea and able to spread the cost and even get free miles by recommending people it’s a no brainer I have saved £££ just brilliant Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

for us as we do small mileage each year. We get good service from the Company and any queries are dealt with very quickly. We are very impressed. Reviewed on: 10th September 2019

Fantastic

I bought my policy online and later thought there must be a catch, this is too good to be true. I phoned them up and spoke to someone friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring. It was true. You only pay for 10 000 miles!!!! I love to see how many miles I drove each trip and how much it cost. It makes car insurance fun. Reviewed on: 10th September 2019
