The way it should be

5
This is honestly the best innovation for car insurance. I'm not sure why they aren't more popular. Even with high mileage it still works out cheaper for me then any other car insurance quote I received. The app is great and tells you your mileage almost straight away and keeps you mindful of your journeys and in turn saving the environment as you prefer to walk when you know exactly how much it costs! The process was so easy too I barely did anything, I couldn't be happier! Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

!!Fantastic!!

Before taking this policy out I was concerned with having a black box fitted as I’ve had a policy similar before with fitted black box. But this is nothing alike it’s so so simple with having your own portal (app) to keep track of miles and journeys each location cost etc. Just brilliant very cost effective to manage your miles and manage what you want to pay from month to month. I love it best policy I’ve had. And the customer service is next level very supportive and reassuring help on hand straight away. 5 star definitely would recommend Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Brilliant

I can’t believe that i’ve never come across ByMiles before! It’s perfect for me as I don’t drive my car much and then having to pay over £1500 for an insurance policy just seems ridiculous. I love the fact that I pay for the miles that I actually drive. It’s so easy and simple. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Best Insurance I have ever had

5
As a low milage user living in London, this is the best Insurance deal I have had in years. My car is parked outside of my house for the majority of the week and only used to transport my disabled wife to her medical appointments and shopping trips. Hence I only pay a higher premium for the miles I drive. The app is so easy to use and you are notified of the extra cost after each trip. It's cost-effective and easy. Why didn't I know about this type of car insurance before. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

This is a game changer

I have a high performance car, insurance has not been cheap. I came across By Miles while searching for a better deal than the renewal I’d just received. To be honest, to begin with, I was rather sceptical, you know what they say, if it seems to good to be true...... it probably is! If your mileage is low check out the numbers, my renewal quote was £460, I expect to pay £200, I’m going to save £460. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Pay as you go is a great idea for a car insurance policy

5
Good so far. Easy to apply for the insurance via the By Miles website and the dashboard app is good. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Quick, efficient and very price-competitive!

5
For a Londoner ByMiles gave me a much cheaper insurance offer from the legacy suppliers; the app give immediate and accurate views on my mileage and costs to insure. I can't fault it, and have been promoting it to friends and neighbours. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Fantastic Insurance For Low Miles Drivers

5
Has saved me hundreds of pounds on my renewal based on my previous years mileage. As has a great app that lets me know the cost of each trip, tracks my car if stolen and can run diagnostics on the vehicle Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Excellent

Excellent way to insure for low mileage drivers. Also spreads part of cost over 12 months. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Pay as you go

Only just joined By Miles but experience good so far. Like the way you only pay for miles done as I only do low mileage. Other car insurance companies do not take into account low mileage. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019
