Review of the By Miles, Car Insurance:

Best for value and Customer service level is top notch!

When lockdown hit I realised I was spending a fortune on insurance even though I wasn't able to go anywhere in my car. I looked at lots of different insurers and came across by Miles. It made sense that as I wasn't driving much that I should aim for an insurance that charged by the mile. It saved me a fortune. I now work from home full time so I decided to renew the insurance in the hope it would continue to save me money. When renewing I got a cheaper price per mile which made me feel valued as a customer. I do drive daily to different places so I can get my shopping, take my toddler out etc but it never works out more a month than your average pay monthly insurances. When we have been on extremely long journeys the miles are capped at £10 a day which means you don't have to worry about travelling to far on the miles. This makes a huge difference when travelling on hidalgo or trips to the zoo. I have had queries regarding different things during my time with bymiles and everytime the customer services have been amazing. They are friendly, polite and will do anything in their power to help. There is an app that you can download to track your miles, this has features on it that mean you can scan your car for any error codes, you can see exactly how much your insurance is at any time during the month and you can even put a destination in to check how much it would cost in miles and fuel before commencing on your journey. The app also includes all of your policy details and your previous bills. It is a very well thought out application is easy to use. I can not recommend this company more! Amazing all round.

4th year going strong

I've been with ByMiles for four years now, and haven't got a bad thing to say about them. Easy to get hold of via phone, web interface or app, easy to report an accident. And much cheaper compared to the other cmpanies - not as much as a few years ago, but still by a few hundred £££s. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2022

great customer service, always fair even when they can't help

I had to leave By Miles because I'd found a better quote elsewhere, but from start to finish, the customer experience was amszing. They really care about customers and they're proactive as well, getting things sorted or answering questions I didn't think to ask immediately. Reviewed on: 14th October 2022

Best way to reduce car insurance

5
Most use their cars for short journeys either commuting to work or shopping, so why pay insurance to cover liabilities for long distance driving? By plugging in an unobtrusive tracker into your car you can only pay insurance based on the mileage you actually drive. It is a great way to greatly reduce car insurance cost. Even if you go over the predicted mileage when you started policy, you are only charge for the extra mileage used that month, or can top up account in advance. They only track mileage not how you drive. Reviewed on: 13th October 2022
