Best ever car insurance company

By Miles has been excellent since I joined last year. Beating any quote I had by Miles! Also fantastic customer service and the app is brilliant. All round an excellent innovative idea which is both fair and cheaper for lw mileage drivers. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Great insurance for low mileage drivers

5
I consistently do < 1000 miles a year but, in spite of having a good no-claims discount, I paid a lot for car insurance. Now I'm paying per mile and I'm making a good saving. It feels as if I was paying for drivers who do a lot of miles and are far more likely to have accidents. So I'm now only paying for the risk I'm facing. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Pay as you GO car insurance done RIGHT

5
A nice not huge flat fee upfront and no interest as a result of that on the insurance then you simply PAY for the mileage you do, that's it. The amount they charge per mile could be lower, however it worked out ideal for me with a classic car I don't drive much. They provide you with a little plug in box which is a doddle to install and their support team will help you with that if you struggle too. The little box works by tracking your route and thus distance, that's what they charge you for and that's it no intrusiveness, no being told you braked too hard or set off too quickly and alterations to your premiums as you would get with the black box companies. It also allows you to remotely view the location of your vehicle (so it's like having GPS tracking for free effectively, useful incase your car is ever stolen for the police to find it) , what a journey actually cost you (you are billed monthly for your mileage with no interest applied, which is great), and it also let's you pull the diagnostic information from your car so you can discover if you have a fault that the car can see without needing to go to a garage before discovering it or drive around totally unaware, which is a BRILLIANT feature. Oh and they give you an accurate "if you do x mileage a year it will cost you THIS figure during sign up so if you do the mileage you stated you pretty much know exactly what it's gonna work out at per month I can't recommend them, excellent company who are also under wrote by AXA which is a great bit of peace of mind also Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Best insurance company "by miles" !

5
For me insurance was a pain! Untill I went with by miles they have been helpful everytime I've spoken with them the set up was hassle free the app is amazing and I'm saving buckets with them I only wish I found these guys sooner anytime someone mentions car insurance I jump up and talk about these guys ! When I tell people how much I saved (around £800) people don't believe me I just get the app out and show them couldn't be more happy ! Keep up the amazing work! Reviewed on: 1st August 2019
