Been great to me the last few years.like the idea of only paying for the miles l use.Very friendly office staff.1 small honk,you need to be able to take my payment over the phone.Other than that,A big Thankyou for being there for me. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Makes so much sense

5
To only pay for the miles you drive makes so much sense. Luckily I have not had to make a claim but the set up is so efficient and on the ball I am optimistic that it would be straightforward. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

63 years old best insurance I've ever gad

5
I don't use the car much it costs me on average £2 a month after I paid my yearly premium which was very low can't recommend this insurance company enough for pensioners or people that use they car a lot Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Excellent value, brilliant service

5
I don’t drive many miles, so By Miles are easily the most cost effective insurers for me. Thankfully I’ve not had to make any claims, but any interaction I’ve had with them has been really easy and the customer service is great- the app is so easy to use and you’re informed of any policy changes in plenty of time. I would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Excellent idea of just paying for your mileage

5
Like the idea of just paying for what miles I actually drive, some months are less , monthly fee £17.99 then miles you drive added on top , I’ve only had to pay between £25-£30 at the end of the month as I only drive a small amount of miles a month . Ideal for anyone that drives short journey’s, also if you recommend a friend you get cash credited to your account so , you could have you monthly of nothing to pay for a couple of months .

Top class motor insurance

5
This insurance policy works really well for me as I have a van and a car. I rarely use my car so this insurance is really handy as I only have to pay as I drive it. I'm really impressed and will definitely be recommending to others. Thanks Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Happy!

Really happy with the customer service. Easy to use app! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Why is this not an standard norm in the industry?

5
I drive probably at most 5k miles a year and By Miles have captured the perfect format for a driver like me. Most insurance companies will quote unrealistic and excessive prices, whereas By Miles are purely charging me for the actual mileage I cover.. I think any other way is absolutely absurd now and the rest of the industry needs a massive shake up. By Miles deserves all the awards! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Unrivalled for low annual milage

5
"ByMiles" has made significant saving for me over the past year as I been driving much less than previously. Also provides tracking of the car's location. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Easy to access website and friendly customer service staff.

5
The whole process was straightforward and the website was easy to negotiate for a technophobe older person! I was very pleased to be able to add my daughter to my policy recently with no fuss. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022
