FANTASTIC SERVICE

Best insurance company ever. Customer service is brilliant. Fair price paying for what you drive and extras in the diagnostic service in glovebox on the portal. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Great price

My renewal with By Miles was £400 cheaper than my current company and they were over £200 cheaper than the nearest quote. All great so far Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Caters for Drivers Like No Other

5
I got a new car & was too excited / complacent to pre-check what the cost of insurance would be. My jaw dropped when I went direct to insurers and used compare sites (didn’t help that I left it 2 days before delivery of the vehicle). I was referred by a friend, and as I’m not a heavy car user, was pleasantly shocked by the difference in price (up to 10 times less than other companies) and the feature of paying only what you use. Tracking your usage & the ability to check the location at any time is great. £50.00 towards miles for the referrer & new customer is a massive bonus too. Using By Miles, also allowed me to purchase additional cover where I had skipped those options elsewhere to get the cost down. You need to promote yourselves more, but I am spreading the word!

Affordable sensible approach to car insurance

5
My husband looked into this for me and we both decided it was the best price and a sensible fairer approach to car insurance especially in these strange and changing times. Every other quote was ridiculously high so we are saving money when we don’t drive. It’s the way forward and I would definitely recommend your company. Plus the mileage plug in is easy to use and the updates on what you have used helps you budget and think about being more environmentally friendly. Well done . Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Every insurance company should follow suit

5
Genius idea. one happy customer! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Easy Peasy & fair payment

5
It was so easy to switch my car insurance to By Miles. I really like the way the payment method is fair and reflects my true mileage, meaning that I'll never pay for mileage I never accumulated. This has been particularly appreciated during lockdown. A great gesture from this company. Reviewed on: 9th September 2020
