UK insurtech By Miles rolls out new offering for connected car drivers

UK-based insurtech startup By Miles, which provides pay-per-mile car insurance, has unveiled a new offering enabling motorists to compare its ‘connected car insurance' policies alongside standard insurance policies.

By Miles has teamed up with price comparison site Quotezone to roll out this offering.

By Miles said that the new offering could save Tesla owners, and shortly other connected car drivers, a significant amount on their car insurance. All Tesla cars already come with connected car technology fitted as standard and often attract very high insurance premiums.

Launched in December 2019, By Miles' connected car policies are telematics policies that use a vehicle's in-built Internet connectivity to track driving data instead of relying on a regular black box device.

Commenting on the new partnership, Oliver Baxter, head of brand & product at By Miles, said: "Comparison sites are a great service that help savvy customers compare like-for-like products, but when you're trying to change an industry by offering a totally different pricing model it can be a bit challenging to fit into an existing template that has a bit of a one-size-fits-all approach.

"We've been really impressed by how willing the team at Quotezone have been to work with us to present our new policies in a format that drivers can easily understand. We're looking forward to working with them to bring more innovations to drivers in the UK, so people can easily compare new insurance products that better fit the way they live."

Greg Wilson, founder of Quotezone.co.uk, added: "By Miles is a highly innovative insurance brand that leverages cutting-edge technologies to offer lower mileage motorists a better deal on their car insurance. This new ‘connected car insurance' product from By Miles takes that to the next level, enabling these motorists to benefit from premiums that are directly correlated to their mileage without having to install black boxes or tracking devices.

"We're delighted that By Miles has chosen to partner with our leading price comparison platform, Quotezone.co.uk, and are confident that both the company and the many Tesla, and in the future more connected car owners that use our platform will greatly benefit from this partnership."
