Great price

I found this insurance the best. If you do short trips its the best insurance. Also price capping makes you not worry about big costs. Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Best car insurance

Great communication and support from first contact until the last. Offer a variety and to me new inspirational car insurance cover. Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Simple, easy & in your control

5
By Miles offers a great value alternative to the unpredictably subjective 'safe driving' plug-ins. It is easy to start, follow & control but I've yet to have much customer service experience - will see whether it matches up to the early promise! Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Great value for money!

I'm a new by miles customer and so far I've received a great service. Setting up the tracker was easy however, the tracking can be a bit odd at times as it says parked mid journey, perhaps due to signal dropping or being idle in traffic. That said, the overall miles for a journey is still accurate. The fact that journey's are capped at 150 miles is also great value. I drove South Wales to Central London for a fiver!! If you drive less than 7k miles/year this type of insurance is a no-brainer. Customer service team have got back to me in a reasonable time if I've had questions. The only drawback so far is that there isn't the third party cover for other vehicles that you usually get with fully comp insurance as you're paying per mile used however, if you don't really need that extra then the savings per year are definitely worth sacrificing that element.

Pay as you drive.

Just what a lot of pensioners have been waiting for. A lot of pensioners don’t do an extreme amount of mileage and have had to pay higher premiums, I chose ByMiles and have no regrets as my mileage means lower cost at a time when fuel prices are high. Reviewed on: 18th August 2022
