The best!

5
I chose ByMiles as I only pay for what I use which is fantastic. Sometimes I drive loads in a month and then nearer nothing for 3 months so to be able to pay for what I use has been amazing. I pay a low fee to keep the car insured whilst it’s parked then only for the miles I do. So far I’ve got nothing but great things to say about ByMiles! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Best insurance company ever

Cheapest insurer for a 28 YO with an Audi A3. Miles tracker adds as security as it tracks the car! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Awesome company with innovative concept

5
What can I say, such an innovative company with insurance that really suits your needs. Also the best customer service experience of any previous car insurance company, even sending out a free security pocket to prevent keyless car theft! I won’t be leaving by miles for the foreseeable future! Reviewed on: 9th September 2020

Great insurance company

My car insurance has always been a sore subject, and one that I rarely discuss without anxiety. I was unfortunate to have a tractor drive into the back of my parked vehicle and this 'accident' has skyrocketed my claims, as I am now part of an algorithm making me more likely to be at fault for an accident. Added to my recent move to London, my insurance has been costly and punitive founded on stats and algorithms. By miles have provided me with a reasonable quote, their instant message service saves the stress and hassle of waiting in long queues for a call handler. My miles tracker arrived in good time. Although I have some issues with the app, the extra features like estimated fuel costs and find my car are an added bonus. I am very happy with the service, by miles have made me feel more confident and secure to drive, and that I'm not literally an 'accident waiting to happen' as my previous insurer alluded to on a number of occasions. Other insurers should take note, as bymiles will disrupt the market and make it fair and accessible to drive. For too long car insurance has been monopolised by exploitative companies who seek to profit from a legal requirement and I feel strongly that the system needs to change.
