Pay as you go

I have been with By Miles for almost a year and am happy to be with them. I have recommended them to friends and family. If my vehicle is not used I don't pay. Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

Pay for only what you use

Driving a company car, my own vehicle still needs to be insured but as it stays on my drive most of the time it's not cost effective to pay a high premium. so "by miles" was my first choice and it even reports battery voltage so no surprises of a flat battery. Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

EXCELLENT COMPANY

I just love ByMiles ... they have saved me so much money ... I only pay insurance for the miles I actually drive ... which are very few in my case ... so I have saved loads ... YAY. They also have great communication skills ... so one feels looked after and listened to. Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

Best Service and Value of Money

I had a wonderful experience using ByMiles car insurance this year because it is the best one I was looking for it many years in the UK and finally found it! Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

Best decision ever.

Now in my 3rd year with By Miles. I have saved over £500 pounds compared to staying with my old insurers. An added bonus is their ease of communication and access to help or asistance required. Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

Updated regularly every month with my mile usage and billed accurately. Value for money and paying for the use only. Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

Best thing is life is nearly free

After getting what i consider an expensive quote from my usual broker. I took the plunge with By Miles. This down payment looked good. The terms and conditions looked good and simple to follow. Got the app downloaded and that was clear and simple. The dongle turned up and I plugged it in. It tracks, its car medic tells me I have issues. It’s informative and the back up of having a link to chat to them in case you have any problem. I mean what is there not to like. Oh and I nearly forgot the big plus point. I’m on track to be around £200 better off on my previous insurer. Which is around 52% less than their quote. I mean what isn’t there to like in the days of all these financial issues. Also I think this is the way to go in insurance and I believe now genuinely the old fashion way is finished. Well done for them having the guile to do this. Refreshing. Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

Cheapest!

There are no cons everything is a pro with By Miles. They are cost effective, efficient and friendly. I've never made a claim but whenever I have got in touch my queries have been answered quickly and by knowledgable staff. The app is super user friendly and it's easy to see how much you have spent that month. Especially in these times where you have to be a bit more conscious about the pounds! I've been with By Miles for 3 years now - the longest I've ever stayed with an insurance provider. Every year I check quotes and every year By Miles comes out on top. I have saved hundreds by being with them. Most months I pay less than £20 (inclusive of the standard rate which I can now spread monthly) rather than the £70-80 plus I'm quoted by other companies. In fact this year, my cost per mile and standard rate both went down! The only bill to do so. Highly recommend for every reason! Reviewed on: 5th October 2022
