Review of the By Miles, Car insurance:

Easy and affordable

I've been with them for a few years and have saved myself ££££s Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Best value by miles!

5
£153 up front, then a few quid a month, perfect for me. Website and app really user friendly. Car medic very useful too. Recomended Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Good for people on a budget

5
I was skeptical at first, as it felt like another black box type of insurance but actually its alot better than that, they provide not just a cheaper alternative but they go above and provide services like vehicle location, car health checks, and for every journey done showing you the route you took even, really like that, wish this was available when I was starting out when I first got my car maybe saved 100s in the process. Keep up the good work Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Modern way to insure

5
Delighted to find ByMiles. Able to do everything online but customer service excellent if like me you occasionally need to hear a friendly human to explain things! Cost effective way to pay, as it says in the name, pay by the miles you drive. I find knowing how far each trip is makes me think twice about unnecessary mileage, so good for the environment too!

It is very easy for me to pay by mail's I'm paying what I actually drive I used to pay alot more with other companies since last year I found this company I'm more than glad Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Finally a a true value orientated insurance company

5
I came across ByMiles on a website and didn’t quite know what to make of them. Nothing like the companies I had used over the last 25 years. Good phone app. Chat service responsive. Premiums are low and came in considerably lower upon renewal. It feels good to not overpay on car insurance. Thanks ByMiles, Regards Chirag. Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

If you do not drive regular long distances this is the best car insurance you can get for value for money. No more big car insurance bills for me! Love it! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Fantastic idea for low mileage

5
Only been with bymiles for 1 year going on 2, insurance is expensive and bymiles can help cut the cost for low mileage drivers like myself. I absolutely love cars and motorcycles and knowing that i can cut some of the cost will bymiles is fantastic, if they could do something similar with motorcycles I would 100% swap insurance companys.
