Review of the By Miles, Car insurance:

Fantastic car insurance for low mileage

5
I am a pensioner living in a rural area. I have a hybrid car and do about 5,000 miles per annum. My insurance quotes with other companies are around £500. With by Miles I just pay a small up front charge and then a few pence for each mile I do. (by Miles supply a tracker). They message me to tell me how much each journey costs, even if it’s only a few pence for a trip to the supermarket so I can keep track of my spend. At the end of the month I receive pre-notice of what will be taken from my account, then a statement on payment date. If I should do the odd long journey the amount is capped at 150 miles. It is absolutely brilliant. I can’t recommend the company highly enough for those who do a small mileage. Customer service folk are great too. Thankfully I haven’t had to make a claim so can’t report on that side of things, but expect it would be well handled like the rest of this service. Reviewed on: 3rd October 2022

Easy control app and tracker

I like the app and the tracker which help with both keeping an eye on miles used and with handling my account details, documents access, renewal or not, and many other good quality aspects at my fingertips. Reviewed on: 11th October 2025

What I’ve always looked for in an insurer.

What I’ve always looked for in an insurer. I don’t use my car a lot. I mostly city drive for shopping and use the car for the odd commute to the office. Insured for how often I drive seems like a really fair deal. Reviewed on: 11th October 2025
