Amazing car insurance. not just for low mileage drivers

5
I drive 12000 miles per year and yet this insurance is still £300 cheaper than anyone else because of the miles cap. Miles tracker simple to install even a goldfish could manage it! Their App is incredible and literally 30 seconds after the car has stopped I get a notification to my smart watch telling me exactly how much the journey cost. I won't buy car insurance from any other provider now, provided their prices stay competitive!!! Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Easy and Practical Insurance

I've already recommended them to friends. Perfect car insurance for those of us who drive infrequently but need a trusted provider Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Best new company

5
So pleased to have found By Miles. For years insurance companies have been charging crazy fees for the very few miles I do. By Miles gives amazing service too with the breakdown cover, they knew exactly where I was with clever GPS. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Geat for low milers

Bymiles is great for anyone who does not do a lot mileage Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Excellent service

5
Great people to deal with, always get a straight answer unlike some other companies I have been with, renewal prices are fair (they remain about the same or lower than the previous year) and they give you plenty of notice of your next payment. I would recommend them to anyone ( and have) who is looking for a fair deal car insurance. Keep up the good work Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Second to none!

5
Was with a previous insurer for many years, who quoted me a very high renewal quote. I visited a price comparison website, by chance I saw ByMiles. I can see why they’re called ByMiles as they beat all insurance quotes By Miles! Every time I have needed to contact their customer service team, they have always been very efficient and helpful. My insurance policy has consistently never been beaten by any of their current competitors. Their OBDII tracker equipment is amazing, it’s especially helpful when wanting to do some basic diagnosis on your car or when you’ve parked in an unfamiliar place. You can find your vehicle! Brilliant service, amazing insurance product, lowest fair price I have seen so far. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Cover as and when you use it

5
Knowing I am only paying for the use I need and spreading the cost over the year makes less impact on my finances and lowers the overall annual cost a win win situation. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Best & cheapest Car Insurance I had

5
When my car insurance was due... I researched on the internet for the best car insurance for my car.. the cheapest was around £600 despite I don't driver my car that much during the year... when ByMiles came in the search with less than £400, I was a bit worried that there must be a catch and sounds to much work them sending me a device to attach to my car to count the miles... Anyway I purchased my insurance with all the extras for less than £400, received the device within a week, was super easy to attach to my car, and every month they send me a statement showing how much extra miles I drove (Less than £20 for the past 5 months). Looking forward to rewards when it comes to renewal Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

No contest

5
I like the tracking of mileage and cost, which is emailed monthly, as well as being able to review totals myself daily if need. Luckily have not had to use the insurance cover for any reason, so as per review title, no contest so far re recommending to friends and family. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Efficient, Easy to use and economical

5
Its great to know what you are paying for when you by any kind of product and insurance should be no different. By Miles enables this and makes it so easy to understand and follow. Coupled with good customer service and exceptional prices there's no surprise it has been nominated yet again for an industry award. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021
