Happy Injured Veteran Knowing What he's Getting

5
As an injured veteran, financially it can be stressful. But with the help and fantastic set up with By Miles, it has aided me into knowing what I'm getting for my money. It also encourages me to walk more which helps me with my physical and mental health. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

I have found this is the fairest way to buy car insurance.

Because of Covid I have driven less, but I have only paid for the miles travelled. Beside, I feel confident that I am covered and If my car was stolen, I can track It. I know that I am looked after. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Great idea

My son recommended me and I was a bit hesitant. He quashed all my doubts and I'm so glad I listened to him. The site is very easy to use. I downloaded the app, got my plug in and off I went. Paid a lump sum and then pay my bill each month. I like the fact that you can see where you have been and how much it cost for each journey. With my son recommending me we also both got £50 off our mileage. So far I haven't paid any more money. Win win situation. I will probably only pay half what I was quoted by my previous insurers. All in all a great deal. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

First time I am very very happy with my car insurance...

I change my car insurance every year. But this year I didn’t. Because I found cheap price full insurance with By Miles. And I recommend everyone. Thank you By Miles. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Great value for money, great customer service

5
I initially joined up because i don't do many miles during the year, the service was quick and easy and after having been with ByMiles for a few months I can certainly say the customer service is excellent: questions are answered quickly, the few minor issues i have had are resolved quickly too. The ByMiles app is great as well helps keep track of my mileage and costs. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Cheapest even if it wasn't by miles!

5
I went with by-miles on my renewal. They were far cheaper than my existing provider's renewal, and also far cheaper than any other renewal option available to me through the comparison sites. The by mileage charge caps at 10,000 and even if I used all of those 10,000 miles, it would still be cheaper overall than any other option would have been! Reviewed on: 5th August 2021
