It was my first car insurance and compared to others I’ve saved a lot of money plus service been excellent. No confusion or hassle! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Fabulous for low mileage drivers

5
Since the first lockdown in March 2020, I have been working from home. I don't need my car for work anymore and I felt it was unfair to be paying insurance for the car to just sit on the driveway. When I first came across this company via an internet search for "low mileage" I thought the whole thing was too good to be true. Turns out it wasn't. I paid the initial, very low charge, for the non-mileage related cover (fire and theft?). Then there's a charge per mile of approximate 3 pence. As I joined with an introductory offer of £50 worth of free miles, my monthly bills have been covered since March 2021 (now August) and I've still got some credit left. For me, it's made having a car affordable - whereas before when I was paying "normal" insurance I couldn't really justify the expense and I was considering I would have to let the car go. Thanks so much By Miles - keep up the good work and you have got a loyal customer here for years to come! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Fair

Cheapest and fairest insurance Iv ever had. You have a standard minimum monthly amount then pay for literally the miles that you drive. Most affordable insurance by far Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

I have recommended to anyone that will listen

First of all - great concept - fed up of getting extorted for insurance when I hardly ever drive. As a statistician this never made sense to me. Secondly, I understand that they launched in 2018… how is it that in 2.5 years they have surpassed any previous insurer I’ve ever been with in terms of user and customer experience. My experience has been amazing so far. Such a far cry from frustrating phone centres and dodgy portals on other sites. Wish these guys all the best. Have been telling anyone who’ll listen to check them out on renewal. 10/10 from me! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

best value, best service.

Been a great experience for a motor insurer to care about its customers. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

great for you pocket, great for the enviroment

Fantastic concept especially in these times when you may not use the car for a while; but when you do it also makes you consider each journey Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Great for low mileage drivers

5
I’ve recommended to several friends already, the service and price is unbeaten for me. Living in a city centre prices were extortionate by comparison, even using a private garage both at home and at work. By miles gave a low standard price and then enables me to pay per mile monthly, and log in to see how much my bill would be each month. My only issue is that because the company is underwritten it was slightly confusing to find out who to contact when I had a claim, but the customer service team were helpful and got back to me quickly. The price makes up for this issue. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Pay what you use

It’s the cheapest Car Insurance by far. Paying for what you use. Suits me as I use the car locally most of the time. I’m a very happy customer and so grateful there is a Insurance company like yours available. : ) Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
