Marshmallow Car insurance reviews (316)

By far the By far the worst company to deal with when a claim arises.

1
By far the worst company to deal with when a claim arises. One member of staff states the claim is a split decision one, then disappears and won't respond to emails along with another of his colleagues too. Then a third and later a fourth person takes over the claim all within Marshmallow. This time having seen the same evidence the initial colleague of his had seen, he says it a split decision claim and a few days later changes his mind and says I'm at fault. They never respond to emails or correspondence in the stated time and have a very casual attitude to their insured once they have your money. Being a cheap insurance company says it all, cheap rates and definitely a cheap service provided. Please pay the extra and go with a reputable insurer, one who can talk on the phone, rather then Email or chat on site only, and worse still they contact you in their own time when and if they can be bothered. I have raised this issue and a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman Service, and urge anyone else who has had a similar experience from Marshmallow to do the same.

NCD

Even though all my NCD documents are valid they keep not accepting them and add 600 pounds on top of my 1500 pounds insurance. If there were 0 stars I would give you. Dont try them. Reviewed on: 2nd October 2023

Worst customer service

1
I recently been a customer of marshmallow and has received an automated email regarding my policy increasing by over 80% when I have no claims bonus for another year and nothing in my policy has changed. I tried to contact them regarding this and then get the most frustrating conversation of my life where I am waiting hours for replies and messages with so many smiley emojis next to them. I kept raising my complaint of how the can justify the increase in my policy of over 80% where I my question don't get answers and them just responding to verify what they can change in my policy to "lower the price" after 3 days of messages to them I have given up and decided to cancel my policy and go with another company and without any shock they can't even waive £30 cancellation fee. Greedy, and absolutely horrifying service. Reviewed on: 30th September 2023

Went on price comparison and got it for £290 Marchmallow don't have phones only live chat and email, tried to contact them all day to no avail then received and email saying thanks for renewing! Absolute lousy service avoid!! Reviewed on: 10th September 2023

Dreadful

1
Nightmare experience of the worst scenario. A third party drove into my parked vehicle and it was a write off. Marshmallow gave instructions for towaway and storage, then cancelled my policy. Reason: my tax payment was days overdue without my knowledge with no notification. I was charged towaway, then billed for full years costs after only 6 months and had to buy a replacement vehicle. No assistance whatsoever. A total disaster! Reviewed on: 6th September 2023

Fraudsters

1
This is a dodgy company. I paid full year payment but they refused to award 1 year no claims bonus. Demand extra money for no reasons. No customer services number to contact them. They doubled the price saying there is an active claim against my insurance policy where the car has not been involved in an accident. Learnt my lesson from this totally useless company Reviewed on: 26th August 2023

Always happy to assist

Marshmallow were on of the only companies to consider my clean driving history and no claims when moving from another country to England, they also as a result were able to offer me great pricing and options which I am very greatful for and always suggest them for vehicle insurance to everyone I know Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

Fair(ish) price, easy enough

Price was close to what I paid last year despite the increases (others quoting +£200 at a minimum). Everything was fairly simple, had issues uploading my no claims proof but quickly got it sorted by their support Reviewed on: 22nd August 2023
