Keep those miles low to keep your PAYD insurance cheap

If you've opted for insurethebox's PAYD insurance you'll probably be someone who wants to keep your motoring costs down. Pay as you drive car insurance from insurethebox offers a really competitive option for young drivers and low-mileage users to get on the road, with a unique blend of 6,000 Base Miles of cover which you can Top-Up as you need to drive further.

Options to keep car mileage down
There are a number of really simple ways to keep mileage use as low as possible including:

• Effective route planning - Sat-nav systems will often calculate a fastest route, which may not be the shortest route. By using a good, old fashioned road map, it may be possible to cut large chunks of busy road off a journey. However, the shortest route may statistically, not always be the safest, and sat-navs have also been known to lead drivers down roads and tracks which are really not suitable for motor vehicles, so beware.
  
• Car sharing - When completing a regular journey, say to work or to college, it's a good idea to check whether other people who live nearby are doing the same daily drive. Car sharing, or pooling, has lots of benefits other than helping to keep mileage down, including fuel savings, environmental benefits, making parking easier for everyone and there's also a safety element as fewer cars on the roads makes them a less risky place to be.
  
• Shanks's pony - No, we're not advocating replacing cars with small horses, we're merely suggesting that some journeys are superfluous and can be made by walking rather than hopping into a car. Yes, we know driving is often easiest and most preferable, especially in winter months, but when miles matter, feet are always a great option.

Earn Bonus Miles to keep you going
Of course, insurethebox customers have the unique option of being able to earn additional miles to add to their Base Miles during the life of their policy just by driving in a safe and positive manner. Safe drivers can earn up to 100 miles a month to add to their base car insurance cover and this can really come in useful to keep the price down.

But, there is always the option to Top-Up insurethebox's PAYD insurance, just by buying a bundle of miles through the website customer portal.
