By Miles

By Miles is a London-based insurtech that pioneered pay-by-mile motor insurance in the United Kingdom, founded in 2016 for low-mileage drivers who cover under roughly 7,000 miles a year. Its single line of business is UK private motor (personal lines property and casualty), priced as a fixed annual premium covering the parked car plus a per-mile charge for the distance actually driven. Mileage is measured either by the OBD-II "Miles Tracker" telematics dongle or, on its "connect" trackerless policies, by pulling odometer data directly from the manufacturer's connected-car platform after the driver links a Tesla, Ford or Mercedes-Benz account. By Miles was acquired by Direct Line Group in April 2023 and, following Aviva's acquisition of Direct Line Group, has been wound down — it stopped quoting new business and, from 6 January 2026, stopped offering renewal quotes to existing customers. Its API posture is that of a pure API CONSUMER, not a producer: it was the first UK insurtech directly authorised by the FCA as an AISP/PISP to consume Open Banking APIs (January 2020), and it consumes OEM connected-car APIs for mileage, but it publishes no public self-serve developer portal, no reference documentation, no OpenAPI, no Postman collection and no webhook catalogue. The only integration surface is a partnerships email address and a private AWS API Gateway host serving its own mobile app, so this record is a partner-gated stub by design.

By Miles is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Insurance, United Kingdom, Insurtech, Property and Casualty, and Motor Insurance.

By Miles’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 18 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/by-miles: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
