Marshmallow Car insurance reviews (349)

Poor Customer Service

1
Poor customer service. I am extremely dissatisfied with the customer service I received. I needed to update my occupation status and promptly submitted my payslip for the necessary changes. However, the customer service assistant erroneously confused my recent document with one I uploaded months ago for a different issue. She proceeded to request further documentation without seeking clarification from me. What's particularly frustrating is that she failed to acknowledge her mistake or issue an apology. Furthermore, despite being active online, she neglected to respond to my additional queries. Additionally, I find it highly unreasonable that when canceling the policy, the consumed premium is calculated for one extra day beyond the date of policy cancellation. This policy practice is quite perplexing, and regrettably, the customer service assistant could not provide a satisfactory explanation as to why I was charged for a day when Marshmallow did not provide coverage under the policy.

Worst insurance company in UK

1
One of the worst insurance company in UK . At the time of claim they try to reject your claim by saying fault reasons. My parked car had an accident somebody hit on the back it’s not my mistake but the third party not having insurance, when I contacted marshmallow they simplay said that I used my car in multiple locations .. I given all proof showing that I never used it but they haven’t responded, customer service is pathetic. I regret to choose this company and cheated . This complaint is dealing by my solicitor, I will take them to court and fight till the end to get the compensation and don’t allow them to cheat any customers like me in future.

They wont give me my money back

1
I have sold my car and ask for a refund. I told them not to sent the money to the previous account as I closed it. They did it anyways and I can’t get my money back. Lloyds has bounced it back as the account is closed and they don’t give any solution at all. Reviewed on: 31st October 2023

Avoid Marshmallow insurance

1
Had this company for 2 years and decided to not renew as the quoted premium is too expensive. Spent an inordinate amount of time on the app and off the app and going around in circles. Not easy to cancel, impossible to get through to a person, keep answering the same questions over Now i find they have taken the money early and i still can't get through. Beyond angry!

Ridiculous policy , and unfair cancelling process

1
The company serves you well at the beginning, however they have cancelled the policy due to lack of proof of address. If you are an expat or just arrived person to the UK, beware of this company. They cancelled the policy , and also cut a £100 as a cancelling penalty, I am not the one who is cancelling the policy. Modern scamming way of this century I guess. Reviewed on: 31st October 2023

Bunch of Animals

1
A bunch of animals working on the other side! It’s an app based insurance company that is ridiculous. When speaking to these things online you have to repeat everything 50 times as they have numerous animals trying to answer one question. Don’t waste your time with this company and go with British companies who have a real person to talk to when you need help Reviewed on: 27th October 2023

They cancelled my policy

1
They cancelled my policy for “not uploading documentation” when I’ve tried multiple times on their portal and they didn’t receive it. I have then sent them my licence on their chat and then the next day they have cancelled my policy as I didn’t upload my documentation. The worst insurance company I have ever seen in my life Reviewed on: 27th October 2023

Marshmallow is making hell for me to claim my policy and its been a month and I am still chasing

1
I have tried to claim my policy and this is what has happened. It took a whole week for the marhsmallow team to collect details from me. They have asked me about 40 questions on the call I first made, then they have sent a form to describe the incident. And then another team called to confirm the details. The next week I got tired and called the recovery team which was Egertons in this case and I could not figure out the station where my car was stored. It turns out they have used a third party called Mansfield to recover and store my car and their number is unavailable to reach out. I had to travel all the way to Slough where this Mansfield is located only to know that I have to call Egertons as they are the ones handling this one. Fair enough. I had to call Egerton and they have asked me to contact my insurance team which is Marshmallow as they are the ones who are handling the claim. Meanwhile the insurance team has asked MRN ( motor repair network ) to asses the repair costs and after a week they come back saying that this MRN is taking too long to assess. Now its been another week that they have changed the company from MRN to E2E. Their chat service takes hours and hours to reply and sometimes they dont even reply for an entire day. Its been a month, I do not have a courtesy vehicle, I do not have a car and My family is struggling to go anywhere. You cannot contact them through any other platform than chat. You cannot TALK to them and how can a service run like this? Date of experience: 17 October 2023 Reviewed on: 17th October 2023
