Review of the By Miles, Car Insurance:

Just the best

5
My annual mileage is now well below 3000 and reduced even further by lockdown and self-isolation. What a boon to my finasnces By Miles has been. I pay an annual "parking" insurance charge of around £150 (less than half that I used to pay for a standard policy) and then just over 3p a mile for my car journeys. The service has been good, the tracker gizmo easy to install, and the website which shows me details of all my trips is excellent. Reviewed on: 14th September 2020

Have used for one year but also renewing with them. Policy bought for 8000 miles but only used 7000 & therefore get a refund. Are also most competitive for this year. You literally pay for the miles you use. Paying under £300 for fully comprehensive insurance with legal cover, protected NCB & courtesy car if needed. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

I paid for insurance.

I paid for insurance. My car was hit while parked. I have the details of the car and person driving. They do not deal with claims unless you sign a credit agreement Reviewed on: 14th August 2024

Pay-per-mile is the way forward!

I've been a member for the past three years and about to start my fourth. I would never go back to a different way of insuring my car. The app is really helpful and whenever I need help it's so easy. I save money every year and it's easy to keep track of what I'm spending. Reviewed on: 8th July 2024

TOTAL RIP OFF

1
Been with Bymiles for 2 years. During that time nothing has changed except 2 years older. During that time my anual mileage has reduced, because of circumstances beyond my contol, by approx 60% but my mileage rate has been increased by over 1000% - total rip off. Reviewed on: 25th March 2024

My mileage price sky rocketed since by miles acquired by Direct Line Reviewed on: 2nd February 2024

After giving me a quote, they suddenly told me they cannot insure me

I received my new miles quote from RMiles they increased the pence per mile by 1000 percent and increased my premium by 60%..so I had to look elsewhere..the customer service lady told me.. Maybe it's because of your Mercedes car...!!!! Really AVOID...its a very expensive way to get insurance Reviewed on: 12th December 2023

Average insurance company

1 year with them I had no issues but they refused a 2nd year and didn’t explain why either and I had no accidents and paid in full each month. Was hoping to compare them over a few years but no chance. Reviewed on: 14th November 2023

Cheapest car insurance ever since they launched in 2018!

5
I've been with By Miles from the very start, having saved over £500 in the first year compared to the next cheapest provider. In the consequent years the savings have been less, but still at least £200. Great app that allows you to track your journey in case you want to find that nice little shop or castle that you drove past. Nice chat feature (via web or app) that allows you to chat with the support team, who are quick to respond and the reply will wait for you even if you close the window (and you'll be notified by e-mail when they reply).

Excellent

No problem at all. as i have been used for long time. Reviewed on: 8th September 2023

Easy use for low milage

5
Very affordable if you have a car for occasional use but not regular, saving quite a lot. Easy to access the dashboard online to manage the policy. Only requires the car to have a running battery and the gps system continues to run. Very happy with the per-mile price Reviewed on: 5th September 2023
