By Miles Car insurance reviews (13081)

The best car insurance company in the UK which I ever had my experience since 2010.

3 years I'm with BY MILES I'm very happy, I paid car insurance exactly how much I driving. Recommended to my friends. Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

An aid to budget & energy economy

5
This is my second year with By Miles, the first restricted by the pandemic, this second much less so with one month already over the planned monthly figure, and another looking to be the same. However, the biggest benefit for me is that By Miles keeps me aware of this, a constant reminder to take and maintain control over car costs balancing excessive months with restricted ones, stopping all the little trips that add an unexpectedly large number of miles and fuel costs to the monthly total, and to my personal footprint.

Straightforward

If you're not doing many miles, it makes sense. This way I'm happier to keep a car available to me whilst it motivates me to limit its use to "when necessary" - and I keep fitter too! Renewal price was good. Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

What car insurance should be

By Miles is fair, sensible and super easy. What all car insurance should be like! Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

Great idea

By miles are always very helpful when I need something and their system of only paying for miles driven is really good value for money Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

Cheapest and best insurance for low mileage drivers

I love that I am saving money, and am more aware of the miles I drive so that makes me think of being greener more. I also like the record of where I have been in the app. There is nothing I dont like about this insurance! Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

By Miles - Affordable Motor Insurance

Pay as you drive - a fabulous concept. Whilst I, fortunately, have not tested their claims procedure, the cost of my comprehensive cover has been more than halved. I cannot recommend them highly enough Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

Pay as you go

5
Wonderful reduction for low mileage drivers where insurance premium for those who need a car as a convenience can still afford to run one. An added benefit is to make you consider the environment, and so consider other means of travel depending on journey length. Reviewed on: 10th August 2022
