Great and easy

5
Really good for low mileage drivers, have already recommended the app to two friends Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Awesome concept and great customer service!

5
I only discovered By Miles recently and I really liked the concept as I’m not driving as much now and this helps me save a lot of money on my annual bill. The referral scheme is also great as I get money off as well as the person using the referral so it’s a win win. I had issues in the beginning while getting the policy but the customer service was extremely helpful and sorted out immediately. Great value car insurance for those driving less!

Amazingly good value

5
By Miles offers a fantastic service for low mileage drivers. The app provides incredibly detailed information about your journeys and it is great to know that after the modest standing charge you only pay for the miles you do. If it encourages you to do fewer journeys, that's great for the environment too. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Awesome service

5
Quick and easy Customer service are really responsive and we’ll get back to you very quick Simple, clear step by step guide with the insurance Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Fab, low cost car insurance

5
So easy to set up online, tracker arrived in a few days & away you go. If you do low mileage this type of insurance cannot be beaten, only wish i had known about it earlier. Put my dad onto By Miles for his latest insurance & didn’t realise if he used a link both him/me could get free miles, explained this by e-mail & we were given the free miles anyway, fabulous customer service & reply promptly to any query.

Best value i've found in 40 years

5
Every year my insurance went up by 30% or more. ByMiles keeps prices realistic. On a lower income a car is still a luxury item to me. This way i'm covered and with quality cover. Best prices as i'm not paying excess for policy. Just ByMiles Thanks Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

The way forward

5
Hello, I couldn't recommend this insurance enough. We only travel approximately 8,000 miles a year and was paying £45 per month with our previous insurer. We'll be paying under half of what we used to in total for the insurance over the year, and that includes the upfront charges. Paying for the miles you travel is a very fair way of paying for the insurance costs. This is definitely the way forward for insurance in my opinion. Thank you, Alexandra Smart Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Sensible car insurance at last

5
This is the first 'Pay as you go' arrangement I have had to insure my car and I like it very much. It seems entirely fair to pay just for the miles I do but nevertheless be covered for the stationary times too by the initial payment. Reviewed on: 1st August 2019

Excellent value

5
