Review of the Marshmallow, Car insurance:

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

One of the worst and poor insurance company, I had faced very very bad experience I request you everyone go with any car insurance company apart from the Marshmallow insurance. Customer service and claim department never support to the customer. Very disappointed with the bad experience Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

How sad it is to be recommended such an awful car insurance company. It is not a company, it is a scam. A very rude way to scam people. After being insured through them for 2 years, they rejected giving me no claim bounce just because I found much cheaper provider. Moreover, they have extended my policy for one more year without my addmission, and when I said that I want to cancel it, they charged me with £250 for a mistake they made. The customer service is awful, rude, uneducated people. Stay away or you will end up having very terrible time. Reviewed on: 19th May 2025

Poor Claims Handling and Retroactive Premium Increase

I filed a claim with Marshmallow after my vehicle was stolen and recovered. They then said my vehicle purchase date didn’t match their records and increased my premium retroactively. Now they want me to pay a £400 excess plus 18.67% of the repair costs to cover the difference. Their customer service is very poor - “live chat” responses take over 24 hours, claims handlers take over a week to reply, and there’s no phone number. I’ve raised a formal complaint asking for detailed calculations but have yet to receive a clear explanation. I wouldn’t recommend Marshmallow based on this experience. Reviewed on: 16th May 2025

A complete joke.

A complete joke. Stay away! Read all the reviews! Everyone says the same thing! hopefully they’ll be out of business soon. Reviewed on: 12th March 2025

Difficult company to depart from

They renewed my policy without my consent. I signed up with another company at the time of my renewal because they were cheaper. Marshmallow’s renewal was more so I did not want to continue with them. There was no means of information apart from chats which I later discovered. I sent 2 emails to inform them that I do not want to proceed with the renewal but it bounced back. They renewed anyway and took £96 from my account. I called the bank but they could not recall the money due to the way marshmallow set up their account. To date, they have refused to refund £50 administration fee after they agree to finally cancel my policy. I will never recommend this company. Reviewed on: 11th March 2025

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. reported them to the Finance Ombudsman. Made a claim that i NEVER asked to be recorded as such and now they are ignoring me. STAY AWAY Reviewed on: 5th March 2025
