I was so relieved when I found by miles insurance provider for my new car. Some days I don’t drive can even go a week with out using the car so by miles was perfect policy for me helping me save money! Also think is great how you can keep track of your cars journeys incase the unexpected happens. Definitely recommend for those low mile drivers ! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

So far I'm very happy.

The future of car insurance

5
I am so happy I chose By Miles for my car insurance. The app is so simple to use and every time I have a query everyone is so friendly to talk to about it when I call. Like everyone I wanted to save money on my car insurance but I would never choose a black box policy to be tracked and constantly reviewed for my driving, I would rather pay more, but By Miles is great because I have the benefit of only paying for the miles I drive (plus the cost to leave the car on my drive) without feeling like I have to pretend I’m on my driving test each time I get in the car. I am also comforted by the fact that if my circumstances changed and I did start doing a lot of miles again I wouldn’t pay more than if I took out a typical policy as mileage costs are capped at £10k. I can see my mileage on the app so I have a good idea of the mileage cost each month meaning there are no nasty surprises. Since the pandemic I have many friends who have complained to me about having to pay in full when their mileage has dropped 80% but I don’t have to. I highly recommend By Miles and their pay as you go strategy. It feels ‘fair’ and that isn’t a word usually associated with insurance! Fairness creates loyalty so I’ll be happy to renew when I come to the end of my contract. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Best insurance company

They disrupted the insurance market and I am glad they did it.With all their option I feel my car is way more secure than an traditional insurance. Liking the fact that I can run a diagnostic in my car at any given time saving me £££. Moreover with Covid my car hasn't been an extra expense as I paid only when I drive.
