Very pleased with the service and will definitely recommend it to my friends Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Unique Idea

5
Well, I love the idea of just paying for the miles I do! AND, as an added bonus, I now do not just jump into the car to go to the local shops. I walk. Saving me money and keeping me fit! Seems to be saving me money already. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Simple pay as you go car insurance.

5
As a motorist who does less than 5000 miles in a year, this system is marvellous, ensuring that I only pay for the miles travelled, after paying the initial "deposit ". Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Good miles

easy to manage

no problems at all, bill e-mailed each month, money taken out of my account and I receive a receipt. Plain basic simple but very effective. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Other car insurers, please pay attention.

5
From quote to purchase, to Miles Tracker activation, I haven’t seen anything this straightforward and easy in a LONG time. Easy to understand, well priced, clear documentation, and quick to reply via chat with queries. The rest of the car insurance sector needs to sit up and pay attention. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

100% Flexible and Value-for-money

5
This has been the easiest insurance set-up that I have experienced. The box-black fitted neatly and out-of-sight and using the App to check and manage my car insurance was simply superb. If they remain competitive, I will definitely extend my insurance with them. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Excellent insurance company

5
Great customer service when renewing my policy. I haven't used the claim process yet and I hope I don't but ByMiles saved me at least £300 each year compared to other insurance companies. This is my second year with them so far and they are honest because they offered me same renewal price as new customer which rarely happens these days to existing customers.
