Great company, reliable and cheap

Been great, my deposit and pence per mile has dropped due to staying with this company, great incentive to stay and cannot argue with the price Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

A really fair way to pay for car insurance

5
I really like the way I only pay for the miles I actually travel, rather than paying a flat rate irrespective of how much I use the car. I now try to reduce costs (for both fuel and insurance) by planning my car journeys and saving them up wherever possible so that, rather than making several "there and back" journeys, I save them up and do a "round trip". I was very impressed with the courtesy and patient explanation I received when discussing new insurance terms following changing my car. I have already recommended ByMiles to several friends who have said they will take up the recommendation when their current cover expires. Thank you, ByMiles! Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

Great price, cover and features

5
Have been with By Miles for a couple of years now, and have found their coverage and customer service excellent, with both fixed and variable charges reducing year on year, despite their fairly unique proposition in the market for low mileage drivers. Highly recommended from me, and unless something changes in my personal circumstances I can't see me using another car insurer for the foreseeable future. Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

Perfect for low milers

Perfect for low milers. I like the tracking thing.. Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

Definitely the best insurance I have had

5
Amazing customer service, great value, seems good drivers are rewarded with less costly insurance . Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

Game changer

5
The only insurance I have that actually goes down every year. I was struggling to get a decent insurance quote after someone vandalised my car and then I had it stolen. Both things that were out of my control yet I seemed to be being penalised for. I find by miles which is perfect for me as I don’t do a lot of miles. Tracker is really easy to fit and easy to make any changes on the app. I also like the fact you know Where your car is! Would highly recommend Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

Great value and even better customer service

5
Bymiles is such great value because I only pay for what I use. When I had an issue with my mile tracker, I could speak with someone on the phone straight away. I recommend Bymiles to everyone that I know, especially those that do low mileage. Reviewed on: 20th September 2022

So convenient

5
The money i’ve saved with By Miles is beyond belief. For the type of car I have, in London mind you, I would definitely be paying way more for a car I actually don’t use every single day. It gives me control of my spending and has other benefits I don’t think other insurance companies have. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 20th September 2022
