Hi guys, how is it going? Full disclosure, I'm actually an employee of By Miles. Overclockers was driving a bunch of traffic to our site today so thought I'd come on over to see what all the fuss was about. Really interested to read your comments on the new product. Hope it's not rude to pipe up, but happy to answer any questions you may have, so give me a shout.
In answer to some of your points:
- We call it a “Miles Tracker” but our device is quite literally a little a black box…and you do need to keep it plugged in. But it's the size of a matchbox and you can plug it in yourself (no need for tools or an engineer).
- But… we don’t penalise people (or adjust your insurance premiums) on how fast you drive, if you take corners fast etc. Your per mile rate is your per mile rate for the whole year.
- As you've already pointed out, we'd never report people’s driving to the police (unless we were forced to by a court order).
You're totally right that our quotes don't work for everyone at the moment, but we're working on it and we hope to add coverage for more drivers and more car types as we grow. We're still tinkering with the pricing, so it's great to hear feedback. Any thoughts or ideas on how we can make the policy or product better, I'm all ears.
Anyway, hope this doesn't feel like I've overstepped the mark into your territory - if that's the case I'll gladly log off - but thought I shouldn't miss the chance to get some feedback from real drivers. Thanks for your interest so far anyway.
Thanks,
Donnie (Ollie)
