By Miles and Zurich sign partnership deal

By Miles charges a low fixed upfront payment, with monthly payments based on miles driven. The product is designed for drivers covering less that 7,000 miles per year

Zurich's personal lines head Phil Ost said: "An alternative, usage-based solution is more important now than ever, as we see a clear shift in how consumers will use their cars post lockdown. And in incentivising those who drive fewer miles, the partnership with By Miles is a firm reinforcement of our commitment to sustainability."

By Miles CEO and co-founder James Blackham said: "Partnering with Zurich will give our members the peace of mind that they'll be protected by the best if the worst happens. We've seen demand for our pay-by-mile policies continue to increase as UK drivers, understandably, look for more flexible insurance cover that better fits their needs post-lockdown. Having had our strongest ever sales month in July, this partnership will support our continued growth."
