By Miles is unique, convenient, friendly and above all, fair. This is my first year with the company and I'll be returning next year while encouraging family and friends to follow suit. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Good company

Easy to use and easy to understand Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Great value car insurance

5
I was a little sceptical how this worked initially, but it has been great. Easy to set up and also good for monitoring the miles you actually drive each month. I have used the online customer service to have some details changed and this was done straight away. Very efficient company and better paying a small amount each month for the miles you drive. Rather than paying hundreds of pounds out. I would highly recommend by miles to anyone who drives under 8000 miles per year as it can work out much cheaper . Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Quick, Easy, and with a smile.

Having used By Miles for several months, I have had no issues with fair payment, accurate mileage or customer service. The app is easy and intuitive to use, and the tracker is packed full of features! Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Really useful

Got this insurance because I was going on mat leave and we were going to use my husband's car primarily, he had also significantly reduced his car use due to a hybrid work pattern. Haven't used a mile yet! Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Great for the retired

5
Very efficient and I’m happy I joined By Miles. As a retired driver I am driving less and now think about whether my journey is necessary which is also saving fuel. I like the idea that my motor is fitted with a tracker. As a retired driver this is a win win way to save. Also when I need advice it was easy to make contact and have my query resolved. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Value for money

5
As someone who doesn't need to use a car everyday it keeps my insurance down, I love how they cap it at a certain amount per day too. Finally found an insurance company that doesn't break the bank making it affordable for me to keep a car going for me and my family. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Time & Money Saved

5
Brilliant system, by far the best value for money I have found. System tells me/you each journey, time(s) and cost as well as location post codes. Absolutely brilliant. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022

Best insurance yet

5
They offered me the best quote for my current car. Also with the monthly payments decided by how much I’ve driven it’s really helped me save a lot of money. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022
