Back to the Future

5
Paying only for what you use maybe an old fashioned concept but it is fair and makes perfect sense. In an age where owning a car comes with many pricey premiums before you even get behind the wheel and drive anywhere, it is reassuring to have a 21st century company that not only gives you that option but also has a mind for future values for the planet also. Well done By Miles! I was recommended by a happy policy holder and I will pass it on. I applaud your values and fairness, they may seem an outdated relic to most companies but they are a jewel to be treasured amongst us customers Xx Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Easy to use

Simple and easy to use. Excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Car insurance done fairly and easily

5
The fact I was paying twice as much for my car insurance as Bymiles are now charging me would be enough. But the UI is as game changing. For too long insurance has been too confusing and too difficult, Bymiles make it so intuitive and cheap. What more could you ask for! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Excellent

Everything about ByMiles has been excellent - from the money I've saved to the customer service (when I moved house and needed to change my card details) and the great app. It has all been so smooth to deal with and sets the standard for all insurance companies, in my opition! I can not recommend highly enough! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

It's especially difficult right now to predict the future

5
I took out my By Miles policy at the start of lockdown. I couldn't predict my mileage for the year and for many weeks the car never even moved. Now I am using it more, but still not traveling to the office. Why pay for mileage I won't use? I get a push notification at the end of every journey, which has proved handy when my partner's borrowed the car - I can message/call knowing she's not driving any more.

Good for what it does

Excellent per mile policy at good premium; can't do amendments or cancel on the app; otherwise excellent. Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

this is the first time I have used pay by miles, it is really great being able to plan journeys, see how much your journey cost. Find your car if you can't remember where you parked it. We changed address easily and recieved excellent customer service and communication throughout. Reviewed on: 9th September 2020
