Review of the By Miles, Car Insurance:

Best for value and Customer service level is top notch!

5
When lockdown hit I realised I was spending a fortune on insurance even though I wasn't able to go anywhere in my car. I looked at lots of different insurers and came across by Miles. It made sense that as I wasn't driving much that I should aim for an insurance that charged by the mile. It saved me a fortune. I now work from home full time so I decided to renew the insurance in the hope it would continue to save me money. When renewing I got a cheaper price per mile which made me feel valued as a customer. I do drive daily to different places so I can get my shopping, take my toddler out etc but it never works out more a month than your average pay monthly insurances. When we have been on extremely long journeys the miles are capped at £10 a day which means you don't have to worry about travelling to far on the miles. This makes a huge difference when travelling on hidalgo or trips to the zoo. I have had queries regarding different things during my time with bymiles and everytime the customer services have been amazing. They are friendly, polite and will do anything in their power to help. There is an app that you can download to track your miles, this has features on it that mean you can scan your car for any error codes, you can see exactly how much your insurance is at any time during the month and you can even put a destination in to check how much it would cost in miles and fuel before commencing on your journey. The app also includes all of your policy details and your previous bills. It is a very well thought out application is easy to use. I can not recommend this company more! Amazing all round.

Started off well

1
The first year the rate per mile was very reasonable at 2.7p. At renewal the rate went to 11.7. A completely exorbitant escalation. I refused to accept the new deal and took my business elsewhere Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Paying per mileage is a novel idea

5
I rate the concept of encouraging people to drive less for the environment, and this is a great incentive for that; your car insurance is cheaper the less you drive Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Modern car insurance

5
I think this is how modern car insurance should work. It very easy to achieve nearly everything through the app including reaching out to customer service, renew and update insurance. It is great value for money if you do mid-low mileage and therefore, I have recommended this to my friends as well. Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023

Brilliant choice if you do small miles

If you do small miles this is a great company to try. A novel idea paying for insurance by the mile. Top rated company and can get referal bonus as well. Bonus tracker included as well. Easy to use app Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023
