Ideal Insurance for low mileage

Very straightforward app based Insurance, track your monthly mileage easily. Haven't had a claim but sure they would be as efficient with dealing with it as other companies. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Best Insurance I Ever Got

5
I love being able to pay for insurance only when I need to use my car. I don’t have to drive much these days except for the occasional grocery run so it’s proven to be very cost effective. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Something different

5
Like that I pay for how much I drive which at the moment is marking my insurance much more cost effective Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Simple, reliable and affordable.

I honestly don't see myself ever leaving ByMiles. The insurance provider for life. Customer services are exceptional, I genuinely think the disruption they will bring to the market will put a lot of competitors out if business. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Really good idea

5
As someone who's recently moved closer to my workplace and doesn't need to commute anywhere near as often as I did, I was looking for a new insurer that was better value for money for my needs. By Miles is perfect and does 'what it says on the tin' . I pay a small fee in comparison to any other insurer I've experienced - set rate for when the car isn't in use and then what is, in my opinion, an excellent rate per mile travelled. I can see how much I'm spending and breakdown how much each journey costs via the app. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Best price and easiest car insurance to contact

5
I've never really gone out of the way to recommned a car insurance company before until now. Easy to contact via the messaging service and always helpful. In nearly 30 years of driving, year on year my insurance has gone up despite not claiming. I can't remember the last time I stayed with an insurance company, if ever. My insurance is down and coming out about 40% cheaper than my best quote from anyone else. Want to save money ? these should be your next car insurance company. Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Miles Better

Due to the lockdown I have driven much less miles than normal but my old insurance estimate was over £120. More Reviewed on: 6th August 2021

Glad it was recommended
