Excellent company!

By miles is by far the best car insurance company I have ever used! Such a great concept that suits my needs and always had great customer service with them. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Genius

By miles has to be the best insurance provider there is. It’s my first time using them and I won’t be leaving. The prices are fair and you only pay as much as you drive. If you are someone like me who doesn’t drive much then this is the best option. The app is also user friendly and if one day you forget where you parked, you will be sure to find your car as it makes note of your journeys by post code. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Really good insurance 1st time driver under 25, and it has been the cheapest that I have looked into so far and I drive quite a lot of mileage, I have also recommended to my friend which has also thanked me for showing her as it has worked out much cheaper Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Easy and cheap for those with low miles

My weekly milage is around 50 miles a week. It is so convenient only paying what you use and it has saved me so much money already! I couldn't recommend it enough. The app is free and simple to use Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Best Policy For Me

5
Always able to contact them and get a response if I needed too , response time was rapid , outcome was satisfactory, it’s been the best move for me insurance wise and I have stuck with them and advise friends and family to join up and easy to see why ,financially my insurance is lower and past 3 years that’s a good saving Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Simple, easy to use app, no BS

Since the pandemic (and even prior) I don’t travel huge volumes of miles. I have a car that’s otherwise reasonably expensive to insure and some of the quotes were £1k p/a. The pricing model really suits my circumstances by paying a chunk up front then per mile based on what I actually drive. The app is so easy to use and the notifications don’t pester you. I just renewed this year and the process was the best I’ve experienced in my 20 years of driving and insurance. The quote was better than the previous year, so no need to start shopping around or negotiating on the phone. I’ve never had to call either, the chat function I’ve used once and was really efficient. Unless I needed to do business miles in the future, I’ll be sticking with By Miles. Keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Excellent for low mileage

I have good experience with by miles easy to manage and low prices because they offered intelligent way. Very good Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Perfect for me but maybe not others

I've never been somebody who drives thousands and thousands of miles each year so was looking at ByMiles even before Covid. When Covid hit and I was forced to work from home, ByMiles saved me tons! My workplace is continuing with us working from home so ByMiles will definitely come in handy for me next year. I realise some people, who've been driving for years, will potentially get a better price elsewhere with higher milage. For me though, being relatively young and inexperienced - as well as not driving tons each year - it works out great for me. Customer services have always been extremely helpful if I've ever needed to speak to them too, which is always a plus! Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Excellent on all counts

Excellent on all counts: innovative insurance solution for low mileage drivers, great value and fairer pricing based on what you drive, excellent customer service, and fast nd helpful accident support. Does everything a good insurance provider should provide whilst only charging you for the mileage you use. Reviewed on: 4th August 2021
