About this product

Check out the Marshmallow car insurance reviews on Smart Money People, left by genuine customers to help you make an informed decision when choosing your new provider.

Marshmallow was founded in 2015, dedicated to providing affordable insurance to those often hit with outrageously high quotes, like students and expats. Marshmallow designed its own systems and writes its own policies, claiming to provide cheaper car and van insurance for all.

Perhaps you have a low credit score and find many insurers penalise you for this,or maybe you’re an expat without a UK driving licence, again, paying extra for your insurance? Marshmallow claims to have affordable policies for all, regardless of factors such as these. Read the Marshmallow car insurance reviews on Smart Money People to see how well the company lives up to these claims.

Have you had an insurance policy with Marshmallow? Did you find your premium cost reasonable in comparison to other quotes? Was the level of cover suited to your needs? How did you find communications with Marshmallow: was the customer service team friendly and helpful with fast response times? Did you have to make a claim on your policy, and if so, how well was it dealt with?

Worst car insurance

1
STAY AWAY FROM THIS INSURANCE!! Worst mistake i ever made. Was great and straight forward at first until my car got stolen and torched. It's been over 2 months now without a another car. Poor communication, they fob you off to different people, you can only speak to them on an online chat and all you get as a response is a copy and paste text that they all get given rather than actually having a proper discussion on claims Reviewed on: 17th November 2022

No Problems Until you make a claim

The company was easy to use and very straight forward. Good app and easy to use and very responsive and had no problems “ UNTIL “ I made a claim . As soon as I had to make a claim , they basically ignored me for over 7 days at a time and the claim has been going on now for over two months . Asked for ridiculous documentation which has no relevance to the claim or the insurance policy. Never got told of the progress of the claim and still have no idea what’s going on . Still haven’t received payment. Good company if you don’t make a claim if you do good luck with getting any money . Reviewed on: 5th November 2022

DO NOT USE

1
Like any business you can only really judge them when something goes wrong, or as an insurance co, when you need to claim. Marshmallow are appalling. Hours waiting for live chat response, no responses to emails, on hold for 45 mins + to their claim partners. Made a claim 18 months ago and still not resolved. This business should not be allowed to trade. DO NOT USE. Reviewed on: 31st October 2022

Well, the price they offer you is great and if you don't need to use your policy, you're fine. However, note that they automatically put auto-renew onto your policy and don't inform you. So after a year you have a massive chunk of money (£700 in my case), disappear from your account. In the days leading up to this I didn't receive a single text, call or email to tell me my policy was about to auto-renew. I wouldn't have been inclined to write a review had this been my only experience with them but considering what has happened since, I now realise how cynical of a move this was from them. They also don't have a number to call to rectify problems like this. Instead, they have a online chat bot system that times out if you're not active. The past 2-3 times I've used this system, my initial message hasn't been answered for over two hours. And now I've been involved in an accident and I need to make a claim. This is where it gets really bad. After logging the claim, they immediately outsource the claim to a secondary company called MRN. This company DO have a call line but expect to wait about 40 minutes to reach somebody. I had a crash on a Wednesday morning and my car was recovered and taken away. It took until the following Tuesday for pictures to be taken and sent to MRN's in-house engineer to assess if it was a total loss or not. It's now the Friday after that and the engineer hasn't looked at my photos yet. Presumably this engineer sits in a central location and goes through photos on their computer - it can't take more than 10 minutes to assess each claim. So unless MRN are handling every insurance total loss claim in the country, and they've only got one engineer working on processing claims, I've got no idea how it could take this long. So it's now a week and a half after my accident and my car hasn't even been assessed yet. I haven't received a single update by email or text from Marshmallow or MRN, I've had to chase them and sit and listen to hold music to get the minimal updates I have got. I'm trying to imagine what would happen to me if I was this slow and bad at communicating in my job. I'd probably be sacked after 2 days. Avoid at all costs. Reviewed on: 28th October 2022
