Review of the Marshmallow, Car insurance:

Auto renewing and refunding partially after a long time

They auto renewed my insurance and would not provide me a contact number to call and cancel. They didnt send me any postal correspondance to inform me. They took out over 1000£ as premium from my bank account. Only chat facility available to corresspond which is slow. I cancelled the insurance over chat immediately (within cooling off period) but they still charged me £30 admin fee. They also gave me a huge bill for 2 days' insurance they charged pro-rata. Raised a complaint and they took months to respond. They didnt do anything. They took a long time refunding the money as well and still charged Admin fee (even though I was withing 7 day cooling off period). Thieves. Stay away from them Reviewed on: 14th August 2024

Worst insurance company in UK

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

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

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

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

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

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

stay away

terrible company they were cheap but you cant speak to a person the live chat takes at least a day to respond .the app doesnt work properly stay away from them.They asked for paperwork via the app i sent it 5 times they kept saying they didnt have it then they sent an email link and asked for hmrc letter i did that and the next morning at 9.39 they asked for an invoice of my work and by 3.20pm they had cancelled my insurance because i didnt see the email or respond in a few hours because i was at work. So my insurance runs out tonight they wont refund for days my van is my living and now i cant use it because i havnt got the insurance money they have. Reviewed on: 20th October 2023

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

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

Can't cancel renewal without speaking to them... but they don't respond!

Can't cancel renewal without speaking to them... but they don't respond! Shocking Reviewed on: 13th October 2023

Terrible customer service

I have been with marshmellow for a year. Had built up 5 years NCD over (through previous insurances and vehicles) but protected them. They automatically renewed my policy, making my monthly payments go from £67 a month to £263 a month for the same vehicle!!!!! When i questioned them on this, which by the way is an absolute pain (they have no phone number to speak to a person so you have to speak to a robot on the app), they then offered me a £175 discount ?! I declined and said can i cancel, they say yes you can cancel but you will not have your NCD protected and will have to pay a cancellation fee. Disgusting service. Do not go with this company.
