Review of the Marshmallow, Car Insurance:

Scam- be aware!

Scam- be aware! It is an awful organisation. I reported my accident claim on the day of my accident (23/11/2024); I have not heard from this organisation since, and now I have found out they did not even log it !!!!!! They provide their customers with a telephone number; however, if you call it, you CAN NOT get to speak to anyone; you are directed to "live chat". The "live chat" is absolutely useless; no one has the courtesy to answer the chat at a good time, and if you start a ... Reviewed on: 6th December 2024

Can't contact them

Trying to insurance myself with them. They've taken my money and I cant contact them by email, phone or chat. I dont seem to have an account so can't access details. Can't drive my car cos I don't know if I'm insured. Their email on their website is incomplete. Wrong website on their website! Not a good start Reviewed on: 23rd June 2023

I would not recommend

Similar experience to the other reviews. Nothing to add. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2023

Scam alert

Do not buy.i had an accident 10 days ago and I'm still waiting for them to collect it. I got so fed up I said I'd use my own garage only to be told that I'd have to pay an additional 250 fee.this is madness . They cannot collect my car but yet they still want to charge me for finding my own garage to fix it. No courtesy car although I'm paying for it.total scammers.i will be posting as many negative reviews and report them to FCA. Absolutely disgusting. They are taking peoples ...

Avoid at all cost all they will do is take your money.

So I took out insurance less than 2 weeks ago and tried canceling it, as you are supposed to get a 14 day cooling off BUT no this company not only over charged me they took all the money then had the hide to charge more on my card. Disgusting service and don’t respond to emails Avoid at all cost will be reporting them to fair trading. Reviewed on: 10th June 2023

Zero stars if I could

If people are smart, they won’t insure with this company. £950 excess!!!! Increasing a premium from £4K to £5k after submitting an accepted proof of no claims? Outrageous. Gone with another company. Good luck if you choose to go with this company. I’ve called the FCA and hope this company is fined, shut down or sanctioned in some way. Reviewed on: 10th June 2023

The Rip off

My car was hit by a lime bike damaging the bumper wing and mirror. I put a claim in for the repairs and within two days the insurance was cancelled by Marshmallow. Wish I had read the reviews first .The company actively scams people, what I did not understand is with 68% of reviews that state how bad they are , why are they allowed to trade or advertise as an insurance company. I intend to highlight this scam to the papers and TV , rip off Britain . I will also post the revie... Reviewed on: 8th June 2023

Such business

It's that time of year once again. The insurance renewal quote slinks into my email inbox. It doesn't knock, it isn't invited. The dread fills my stomach once again. The search is nearly on... But what's this I see befoe me? Marshmallow?! It cannot be. Surely car insurance can't be this fun and fulfilling. Alas it can. Please, do yourself a favour. Use. This. Company. Thank you Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Do not trust

Online and only want your money! No customer service or helping people in need. Always excuse to not help! Best word to describe marshmallow is they are robbers with an identity without having to wear a mask and get away with it! Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

Very good insurers

Very good insurers and great prices to chose from Reviewed on: 31st May 2023
