Easy to use and only pay for the miles you drive

The little box was easy to install and I have saved so much money by going with ByMiles Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Fantastic concept with a few rough edge stuff

4
My By Miles experience has been great - a truly innovative approach to car insurance that treats cover like any other utility - pay as you use by mile, and a standing charge for when your car is sat doing nothing. Customer service has been good, not outstanding. The dongle that connects to the on board diagnostic socket in your car didn’t fit my modern 2018 Passat, and so I was sent an extension lead with an adaptor which occasionally drops into the footwell and gets in the way of the accelerator pedal, and looks unsightly. I was asked at one point whether I’d like to cancel my policy instead of a proper attempt by By Miles to fix the problem, which left me feeling a little cold. Hopefully this has been the result of teething problems in getting the company up and running, combined with a customer service operation that needs an injection of energy and commitment to customer delight… we’ll see (I haven’t cancelled my policy yet)!

Perfect Cover, Service and Price

A perfect insurer who is upfront with all costs and provides fantastic customer service to assist and deal with any queries. Perfect for those who do not need to or want to drive a high monthly/annual mileage. I have recommended them to countless friends and family and will continue to do so. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Brilliant for people who don't drive often

As I don't drive to work and we use my wife's car as the family car I only drive my car a few miles each month. This insurance is a great way to keep the cost down. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
