By Miles Car insurance reviews (13081)

Short drives - pay well

5
I spend lots of times abroad but when I am at home I know that I have not wasted my money on insurence while my car was on my drive. I just drive. Best insurance for people that don’t use a lot of miles Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Great concept

5
I've had no problems at all, but haven't had to claim so far. Had to change address last year and was pleasantly surprised to find By Miles don't charge the admin fee most other companies charge. My monthly fee is very low as I don't drive many miles. The only thing is that the initial payment is a little high and appears set, other than that I will definitely consider renewing again next year. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Very good service. Good on price and easy set-up.

5
Would thoroughly recommend ByMiles for anyone doing under 7,000 miles a year. Very good on price and the set-up took less than 5 mins. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Easy to use and cheap

5
Great during covid and working from home as you pay s as lot less due to the less miles. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

An unusually fair and intelligent insurance for 2021

5
I'm a pensioner who doesn't drive much so I was attracted to By Miles for its very fair and low cost and unusual new way of charging per miles driven, via a tracker - brilliant!. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Best insurance ever

5
Basically I only travel short distance to and from work, especially during the pandemic, so by miles was the best option for me. Only being charged a small premium and only paying for the miles I travel is a real bonus too. Also love the app and the information it provides, the journeys I’ve taken, their distance and cost, also with a total for the month so far. Their app is also great to keep all your documents in one place wherever you go. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Perfect.

5
It's just what I have been looking for! I don't drive much. So pay for what i drive. The app is very helpful to keep on track you spendings. Just Love it! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Top Quality insurer, without the price tag!

5
I am on my second year with ByMiles, happily renewed with them as their premium is a good price and they always respond quickly to my messages. I don’t have to pick up the phone and wait in a queue to speak to someone, there is always someone at the end to respond, not just a robot. Will continue to insure with them. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Most favourable car insurance

5
After a 2 weeks holiday abroad then 10 days quarantine with my family it was time to get my car insurance. Then came along By Miles that give you that need advantages and flexibility especially for most of us who are working from home or doing much shorter journeys due to the present pandemic. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Brilliant service

5
Great way to insure if you don’t drive many miles and the very easy to use and understand app lets you know your monthly cost plus lets you know if there is anything wrong with your car’s health Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
