I visit my hometown often and need a car there, but didn’t want to pay for normal insurance as it didn’t seem cost effective. After doing some research, By Miles seemed like the best option, as my mileage is low and the prices were far more competitive than other companies. Seemed like a no-brainer for me. The device is very easy to install and came with useful instructions. The app is sophisticated, as it allows me to track all journeys in great detail and keep an eye on it even when I’m away from home. By Miles gave me the opportunity to keep my car a little longer, without it I’d have had to eventually sell it as the standard insurance just wasn’t affordable. Thanks By Miles!

Cheap and fairer

Paying by the mile is certainly fairer, and works well for those who may not drive that much. However when it comes to paying out ByMiles (backed by Zurich) were terrible I'm afraid. Reviewed on: 16th August 2022
