I love the fact that if I am skint I can just not drive as much and it will pay off. I love the fact that I only pay for when for what I use. It's fair , flexable and how it should be done. Instead of bleeding customers dry so they can't afford the petrol to actually drive bymiles makes it possible to have the car and the freedom to use it. I can't fault this insurance company it is the best insurance company by miles! Reviewed on: 9th August 2021

Excellent Service, You Pay For What You Use

5
By Miles particularly suits me as I do not drive much. I really like the idea of only paying for what you use. The app is great, you can use the journey planner function to work out how much a journey might cost. The customer service I have received has also been outstanding. The team are always so happy to help, and will endeavour to resolve any issues. I also like the fact the app records all journeys and you can see the exact route you have driven.

Cheap and Convenient

My work hours can be quite ad/hoc and so the ability to pay for insurance only as and when I need it is a gamechanger. Other insurnce companies with a tracker can be quite fiddly with apps but ByMiles is no fuss and hardly noticeable. Reviewed on: 9th August 2021

Excellent service

Lovely customer service. Lovely low initial cost.

I really like only paying for what I use. It encourages use of public transport which is kinder to the environment while still making it affordable for those journeys where driving really is the only option. Reviewed on: 9th August 2021
