Review of the By Miles, Car Insurance:

Best for value and Customer service level is top notch!

When lockdown hit I realised I was spending a fortune on insurance even though I wasn't able to go anywhere in my car. I looked at lots of different insurers and came across by Miles. It made sense that as I wasn't driving much that I should aim for an insurance that charged by the mile. It saved me a fortune. I now work from home full time so I decided to renew the insurance in the hope it would continue to save me money. When renewing I got a cheaper price per mile which made me feel valued as a customer. I do drive daily to different places so I can get my shopping, take my toddler out etc but it never works out more a month than your average pay monthly insurances. When we have been on extremely long journeys the miles are capped at £10 a day which means you don't have to worry about travelling to far on the miles. This makes a huge difference when travelling on hidalgo or trips to the zoo. I have had queries regarding different things during my time with bymiles and everytime the customer services have been amazing. They are friendly, polite and will do anything in their power to help. There is an app that you can download to track your miles, this has features on it that mean you can scan your car for any error codes, you can see exactly how much your insurance is at any time during the month and you can even put a destination in to check how much it would cost in miles and fuel before commencing on your journey. The app also includes all of your policy details and your previous bills. It is a very well thought out application is easy to use. I can not recommend this company more! Amazing all round.

When it comes to report a claim then the nightmare starts. I have been on the phone 3hours, while they were throwing me between departments to set a claim. Every time the person answer and checked my details they were saying it's not this department to deal with and they will put me to another and it was constantly for 3 hours. Then I gave up, as need brake from this silliness. My case still not set up or resolved yet. Reviewed on: 14th November 2024

First year was good and affordable compared to other companies but second year rate per mile increased by more than 50%. Comparatively it is worse than other companies. Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

By miles is the perfect choice for infrequent drivers.

By miles is the perfect choice for infrequent drivers. You only pay when you drive and the amount is determined by how many miles you go. It's great having a dynamic payment plan that maximises the value you get from your provider. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Have used for one year but also renewing with them. Policy bought for 8000 miles but only used 7000 & therefore get a refund. Are also most competitive for this year. You literally pay for the miles you use. Paying under £300 for fully comprehensive insurance with legal cover, protected NCB & courtesy car if needed. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

I paid for insurance.

I paid for insurance. My car was hit while parked. I have the details of the car and person driving. They do not deal with claims unless you sign a credit agreement Reviewed on: 14th August 2024

Pay-per-mile is the way forward!

I've been a member for the past three years and about to start my fourth. I would never go back to a different way of insuring my car. The app is really helpful and whenever I need help it's so easy. I save money every year and it's easy to keep track of what I'm spending. Reviewed on: 8th July 2024
