By Miles Car insurance reviews (13081)

Caring, Considerate, Fair and sensible Car Insurance company

5
It is a sensible approach to pay for the mileage one drives. I also like their invoice and statement - it is easy to keep track on how much one drives. I also gave feed backs over the few years I have been with By Miles and they took notice of my comments on how to improve the system and they incorporated it into their system. Also they treat their customers as individuals and keep in touch with them. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Incredible savings

5
After paying my initial fee l now pay a average of between £3 and £5 per month. The idea of having the tracker supplied (FREE) is fantastic, not only does it record all your journeys, speeds and parking locations, if your vehicle is stolen you would be able to track it instantly . Customer service is speedy and responsive, either by phone, instant on line chat or emails. Probably the best Insurance company thatsctaken off for a long time. Seriously folks, give it a try, believe me you wont be searching again. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Would absolutely recommend

They have been great - first time I have received a renewal quote from a company who have decreased their price upon renewal! Online management of account really easy, their app is really good also. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Just right for me

This is brilliant as since lockdown I have only gone out for emergencies. I couldn’t believe it when I found it on a comparison sight . It also shows your journey on the map and the distance you have traveled. You are provided with a free tracker which goes to your phone . 3p per mile how can you go wrong. I am more than happy Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Avoid these cheats at all costs

Had used By Miles successfully for a couple of years and then the pandemic struck leaving me maroond in a red listed country and flights.Meanwhile garaged car properly fitted with ByMiles device which added to the rapid draining of car battery and inability to get it restarted. By Miles were alerted to the situation in September 2020 and gave no advice or warning that their policy or their insurers were unable to handle such a situation. However they happily grabbed over £200 in June knowing full well that my car was a non starter. The policy is now cancelled. I am using every avenue at my disposal particularly social media and legal redress through the small claims courts. These kind of underhanded business tactics make me sick and it's no. surprise at all to learn that James Barham was one of those detestable Goldman Sachs oiks. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Happy Customer

I decided to use By miles due to my reduced travel this year as working from home. It was very simple to set up and I am hoping that by the end of the year it will have cost me less overall. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
