eco friendly low mileage insurance

5
Being aware of climate change and keeping my car mileage to a minimum also results in an economical premium with a fixed parked car premium and low per mile costs billed monthly , which remind me of my actual carbon footprint on a regular basis. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Good service

What fuels me to use By Miles?

5
I believe ByMiles is the perfect car insurance for me and my driving needs. I tend to drive short distances mostly, thus by miles helps me save money as I am able to track how much I am spending on insurance on the basis of the miles driven. One of the best aspects for me is knowing that I am able to leave my car parked outside my house without driving it without having to worry about paying a large fixed amount for traditional car insurance. I am much more aware of how much I am spending on car insurance and can budget accordingly. Therefore, as a young driver I would highly recommend this form of insurance as you are getting your money's worth. This also avoids me from making unnecessary trips and in some form encourages me to be more active rather than always opting for the car. An issue I was wary about prior to joining this policy, was that if you drive excessively a certain number of miles this would work out to be a large amount of insurance I may have to pay. However, I am rest assured as the policy ensures there is a capping limit of 150miles per day, thus I do not need to pay for the insurance driven above the maximum miles. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
