Scammers

1
Black Box fitted. Now telling me what roads I can and cannot drive on. Hard cornering going round a roundabout. Telling me if I don't pay £125 my insurance will be cancelled. Under a litre car and its costing a fortune Reviewed on: 4th February 2023

scam

1
SCAM!! the black box is really bad. 2 months and it's gone up £50 plus everytime I drive the car they say speed is good but cornering is bad even tho I had it checked by driving instructor and he couldn't understand it. You tell MARMALADE scamers this but there brains don't understand. 2 months and they asked for about £1100 extra or they will cancel the policy. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM DO NOT USE SPREAD THE WORD Reviewed on: 12th November 2022

Brilliant for young drivers

Great choice for new drivers such as insurance per mileage, which suits my daughter who is away at university for weeks at a time. Reviewed on: 12th October 2022

A generally good insurer

This was my first car insurance company that I went with. I had a black box on my car for the first year, which at times I found to be slightly sensitive and inaccurate. Although they were and easy company to use. Reviewed on: 20th August 2022

Marvellous Marmalade

Quick and easy to get my daughter insured as a learner driver. Great value for money, Reviewed on: 1st July 2022

Loosing days

1
My daughter , who has learner driver insurance through Marmalade for 60 days, got a a private registration number. I changed the registration with Marmalade, only to be told that she had to wait 7 days before this could be updated, there fore could not drive the car and would not be compensated fe the seven days. Whereas, I’m insured through M&S, who changed this over on the same day and hour. Not impressed and won’t be renewing with Marmalade. Reviewed on: 30th May 2022

Easy to use

5
Simple to sign up, 100% stress free. Great email reminders to help manage insurance Reviewed on: 6th November 2021

Black box

5
I’m a new driver and the black box has helped me a lot, even after passing it tells me where I need to improve just that little bit more. It great for people that like to see how well they’ve driven. Reviewed on: 29th September 2021
