Been waiting to join Buy Miles for years, and its amazing.

I used to work for an insurance company in their marketing department (not naming names here). And I always thought that the old model of insurance was outdated and barely kept the consumer in mind. Upon finding out about Buy Miles, the model was perfect for someone like me, a young driver who never needed a huge mileage. Unfortunately, I had to wait until I was 25 to be able to take advantage of their policies :( But when the day came, I got a Buy Miles policy as soon as I could. It was a no brainer - just pay for what you use. No more guesswork and overpaying insurers. It's been a breeze so far - customer service on point and 21st century app. Thanks!

Only pay when you drive

As a driver who travels 2 miles to and from work a day and pops out at weekends this is a great policy for me. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Good value

I'm enjoying my time with ByMiles, being able to pay for the cover and miles separately makes everything more manageable and easier. Service has been great and the live chat is better than most other companies. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
