A game changer product

5
I have been using ByMiles now for almost a year, and I love it. The main reason is simply you only need to pay for the miles you drive. Some months I hardly drive and I pay hardly anything. If I travel long distance I only pay for what I drive. (with a cap at 150) also the app is ace. Most useful feature (apart from keeping track of your spending) is the find my car feature. Also the diagnostic tool is good. So far no issue with my car so cannot comment how accurate it is. Customer service is also good. Emails are responded to quickly and telephone staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. Will definitely be renewing.. Other insurance providers need to modernise and jump on bad..

Great money-saving option!

By Miles is the type of car insurance that was long needed on the market! For people like me, who drive sporadically and like to have their spendings under controll, it's perfect. You start with a small standing fee and then get charged monthly for miles you have driven - how easy and brilliant it is! The rates are low and everything is clear from the get go. No more overpaying for car insurance! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Switched to By Miles a few years ago and cannot recommend them highly enough. I pay for what I use so for me it has been much more economical. Staff are always helpful, friendly and prompt replying to any queries. Great company! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Fair insurance for a fair price

5
Been a ByMiles customer for a few years, and I don't see myself leaving at any time soon. Paying for only the miles I actually drive, prompt service and the one time I did have to make a claim it was dealt with quickly and professionally. In short, no complaints, and it's light on the wallet if you aren't a heavy driver. Just the thing! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022

Easy, cost-effective, friendly

5
Great insurance option for anyone who doesn't drive a lot of miles. The app they have is great as well, and tells you how much each individual journey cost. Switching to them was relatively straightforward and the tracker doesn't deplete my car battery! Reviewed on: 11th August 2022
