Review of the By Miles, Car insurance:

Easy and affordable

I've been with them for a few years and have saved myself ££££s Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Best choice for me

5
I can’t praise this company enough, in fact I sent them a personal email to thank them for their service as it was just faultless! They’re so informative and keep you in the loop with everything. The whole concept of this insurance is so clever and helpful, I will be sticking here for a while! Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

This is how it should be

5
Car insurance which you pay for depending on the amount of time you’re in your actual car. I don’t understand why this wasn’t done before. For me, I only use my car a few times a week. I have no business spending over £100 a month for my car insurance. Since using this company my bill has been slashed to a quarter of that. I’ve been recommending everyone to this company since I found it. The little box you attached to your car is so easy to apply. Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Easy peasy way to save money

5
Straightforward application information with well itemised costs structure. On line application form clear and concise making application quick and easy. Premium can be tailored to your needs and is keenly priced. Information on trip details and monthly mileage is very helpful. All in all I am extremely satisfied with By Miles and happy to recommend to friends and relatives. Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Saved me so much money

5
I was getting very high quotes from other provider but as a driver that doesn’t do many miles I have halved the cost. I would definitely recommend Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Excellent service and great app

5
This is amazing new way of doing car insurance and it seems more fair. I love all about it. Especially the customer service been ace. Great app I use daily to check all ok. Any issues the company quickly sorts and its easy rather than the usual talking to so many people and getting frustrated. Already recommended to friends and family Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Simple idea - why was this not a thing before?!

5
I drive less but other insurers wanted to charge me a fortune. By Miles charged an upfront (reasonable) amount and then I have control depending on miles driven. SO simpose and SO handy. Reviewed on: 18th August 2022

Miles ahead!

5
I was very sceptical initially, however, 2 months in and I'm finding it really useful. We insured a second car, and it really makes sense. I'm definitely going to upgrade the main car to By Miles when the insurance is due. The OBD2 tracker is really useful for inboard diagnostics and finding the car! Really enjoyed the experience so far Reviewed on: 18th August 2022
