Cheaper way to insure your car

5
By miles has been the cheapest option for where I live. Clearly the less miles you do the less you pay. Using by miles has some months saved me between £30/£40pcm compared to my previous insurance company. I have recommended by miles to a few friends one did use them and they are saving around £40pcm as they only use their car for a 5mile a day return trip to work. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Customer driven, in service and miles

5
I have been with ByMiles for 2 years. During that time I had a claim where someone drive into my parked car. So I can say from first hand experience that a friendly and professional service is offered and these are real people not hidden behind an app. That said the app is fantastic and lets me see where I have been and reassures me where my car is. I’ve recommended several friends and all are happy. The tips emails are well thought out and timely. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Easy and good value

Good value and good customer service. Happy customer so far. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

So easy and simple to use

5
By miles is so easy to use, the app is very straight forward and keeps you up to date on what it’s costing you to drive, this is my 4th year driving and I haven’t had a easier insurance to deal with Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Hmmm

5
I searched the compare websites and all the other main insurances quoted me £1200 plus for a BMW. ByMiles was at the top on all the comparison sites as the cheapest but seeing it was a ‘black box’ insurer, I wasn’t too keen! (Having a BMW sport, it’s nice to put your foot down now and again! Tut tut!) but reading the Ts&Cs of ByMiles, they only track your miles and not driving behaviour! Signing up is done through their site. You can call customer services for questions but they won’t sign you up over the phone. How does it work? You pay a one off payment to insure the car while it’s on the road and not moving and you’re told how much you will pay per mile you travel. You are sent a small OBD device that stays plugged in the car for the length of your policy and every time you drive, the device logs how many miles you travel. At the end of the month, you pay for how many miles you use! It’s perfect for people that don’t travel long distance everyday! They app has a tool to calculate how much your trip costs only putting in the postcodes of the stand and end destination. So far, there hasn’t been any problems! If you sign up and recommend a friend, you get £50 when they join of free miles! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
