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.

Review of the Marshmallow, Car Insurance:

legitimate scammers.

1
legitimate scammers. Avoid at any cost. They are quoting me £440 cheaper online, however upon renewal they are charging me £2 more than existing price, with £25 admission fee. I have advised them with this info and they were not willing to help. Please note that I've worked with Marshmallow because of those online comparison websites, and they're telling me that they do not always keep the right info, if that is the case, are you insuring everyone with incorrect information on your database? Upon requesting cancelletion, they have told that there will be fee of £170 too avoid it. Imagine if you had an accident, is this the company going to help you out? I will certainly never ever work with them, even if they quote me the cheapest quote. Now i am working with another provider, who gives £1000 cheaper deal. so my lost here is £170 admission fee, £25 admission fee of renewal(god knows why and how they are charging me when i decide to not renew my contract) Reviewed on: 18th December 2024

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO STAY AWAY THEY ARE FRAUDS!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO STAY AWAY THEY ARE FRAUDS! I had Insurance with this company and had the worst experience ever. My car was parked outside my house and another car crashed into it. When I sent it to there garage the mechanics did faulty jobs and damaged the car which was in unsafe condition to drive. Also, they took away my 3 years no claim bonus for no reason whatsoever. The incident was not my fault has nothing to do with me but they took my 3 years no claim bonus anyway. They charged me money to fix the car and did not fix it, on top of that they have the audacity to take 3 years off my no claim bonus. When I try to speak to them they do not have no customer service contact number. They only have web-chat talking which is the worst form of communication as they do not reply properly or even answer my questions and meet my needs. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

My car was written off by a marshmallow customer who admitted liability, A settlement figure was agreed but payments to me continually fail. I believe this can only be happening if they are insolvent or an employee is stealing my money. They are virtually impossible to contact and couldn’t care less about their liabilities.

Refuses to cancel and refund my policy, can't reach

1
Someone made a false claim about my car being in an accident. I submitted photos and videos of my car, in perfect condition, but now they are refusing to cancel and refund my car insurance even though I sold it due to this false claim. It is impossible to get ahold of a human and they don't have a contact phone number available. You have to use their "live" chat box, but I've been put on "hold" for over 3 hours now, being completely ignored. A poorly run company clearly scamming people who chose their plan for their cheap rate. Never using them again. Reviewed on: 7th February 2024

Avoid at all costs! Scam

1
Avoid at all costs! Long story but they are trying to scam me out of more money by charging me extra on my premium mid contract and I have had to reported them to the Financial Ombudsman's. The good reviews you see must be AI bots, the customer service is like speaking to a brick wall all on online chat. They accused me of miss information and I have proof that I had given it to them so they don't have a leg to stand on. I paid a lot of money for a dreadful service, they interrogate you and try to catch you out rather than help you. Reviewed on: 6th February 2024
