Just saw this pop up on Yahoo:
https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/19-million-low-mileage-drivers-charged-car-insurance-000133054.html
Has anyone tried this? I've tried to get them to appear on comparison sites, but they don't seem to appear for me?

Analysis of almost 2.5 million car insurance quotes by pay-by-mile provider By Miles, has revealed Brits who drive less than the national average may actually be paying more for their car insurance than higher-mileage drivers.
According to By Miles’ data, which is based on 2,466,055 customer quotes from car insurance companies on MoneySuperMarket, motorists who tell insurers they expect to drive up to 6,000 miles in a year pay an average of £233 more than those who say they’ll drive up to 12,000 miles. This runs contrary to the belief of many that the more you drive, the more you pay for car insurance.

Several telematics policies, check the threads where people did more mileage than they originally said and the insurer wanted hundreds to add an extra 1000 miles.
And no getting around it because they track the vehicle and know exactly how many miles its covered.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
