Cheapest car insurance ever since they launched in 2018!

5
I've been with By Miles from the very start, having saved over £500 in the first year compared to the next cheapest provider. In the consequent years the savings have been less, but still at least £200. Great app that allows you to track your journey in case you want to find that nice little shop or castle that you drove past. Nice chat feature (via web or app) that allows you to chat with the support team, who are quick to respond and the reply will wait for you even if you close the window (and you'll be notified by e-mail when they reply).

Investment only goes down

1
Invested a few years ago to benefit from a £40 cash back offer - and have been stuck with a £45-50 for over a year. Can't even withdraw the money to break even. And each time the value starts creeping up they re-view my portfolio, and it immediately drops even further. Maybe if you are planning to invest for 10-50 years then you'll see some returns, but while I made modest profits with other companies over the past two years, Wealthify's products seem to only lose money.

4th year going strong

5
I've been with ByMiles for four years now, and haven't got a bad thing to say about them. Easy to get hold of via phone, web interface or app, easy to report an accident. And much cheaper compared to the other cmpanies - not as much as a few years ago, but still by a few hundred £££s. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2022

Wonderful customer service

5
L&G no longer provide life and critical illness insurance, but I found them to be consistently helpful and customer oriented across all of their services. Always easy to reach, with a Wales based office, helpful staff that take personal interest in your problems. But probably single best thing that puts this company before all others is that when you want to end any of their products they just do it for you. No lengthy begging and threatening to try and force you to stay with them, no trying to sell you a different product that doesn't suit you. This will definitely make me consider them every time I review my financial products. Reviewed on: 24th August 2022
