Great Insurance, Simple and Good Value

5
I was sick of being ripped off by the insurance industry, relying on fear to line their pockets; but then I came across a company whereby I could leave my car parked for a week when I went away or if I wasn't working for a few days, knowing that I wouldn't be paying to drive the car when I wasn't driving it. Aside from the "standing charge" you pay up front for the protection of having your car insured when it is parked within a certain distance of your home, I literally only pay to be insured to drive my car when I am actually driving my car. And the rate per mile I think is very reasonable, especially since there is a maximum daily rate, so that if I need to drive long distance for any reason, I won't get charged for every single mile. Additionally, I no longer get cynically overcharged under the guise of an "admin fee" to make simple changes to my policy, instead I can make these for free. I won't be looking elsewhere when it's time to renew, I'll simply stick with By Miles! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Best insurer EVER!

5
In all my 58 years of driving I have never found such a fair and efficient insurer. The app is outstanding, the speed of reply to questions I have asked is incredible, the knowledge and charm of those working for the company amazing and to be charged by the miles one drives is so very fair. Every single journey I do is documented and clearly displayed on the app including how much I will have to pay at the end of the month. All fantastically easy to set up. I will for sure be very upset when I become too old to be with By Miles. Would highly recommend....and already have!! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

A very different kind of insurance for a very different World

5
Having been with By Miles for nearly a year now, I am on track to save £420 compared with my previous well known insurer, who I had been with for 9 years. Customer service is second to none . They also appear to be genuinely interested in customer feedback. Lastly their car medic feature on their app alerted me to a problem with my car’s turbo, which meant I resolved the problem very quickly (30 minutes) and very economically. I am by nature am quite a cynical person, but I yet to finding any negatives. Stephen Cullen Reviewed on: 9th September 2020
