Review of the Marshmallow, Car insurance:

Please avoid at all cost.

I had a car insured with Marshmallow last year, the car was stolen, they found every excuse possible not pay out. They changed their policy documents constantly to suit their own objectives. I'm now down £2000, plus with a notice on my name that pushed other quotes through the roof. Reviewed on: 17th March 2022

Worse decision I have ever made

I got a good quote from them. They asked me for evidence to which I provided before my deadline ….. they did not respond until the day of the deadline which was asking for top up money and after that same hr they cancelled my insuarance. They say they accommodate every one but after you pay u can never get in touch with them. Reviewed on: 29th August 2024

Best one

Nice and easy everything is through app. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

SCAM. AVOID

SCAM. AVOID Very bad experience. Each year they increase the insurance premium to outrageous amounts. This year just before my insurance premium renewal a claim was opened (strange coincidence...) claiming that I was involved in an accident in a part of the UK that I've never been... This erroneous claim has been open for months despite me following up multiple times Very unprofessional. Avoid. Reviewed on: 20th August 2024

Pls avoid Marshmallow, it's fraud.

Pls avoid Marshmallow, it's fraud. I made my monthly premium payment, it was automatically deducted as cancellation fee without my consent. my £143 IS GONE. Reviewed on: 16th August 2024

Cancelling insurances for fun

I'm a young driver, getting insurance quotes are already hard and pricey. they gave me an insurance and then cancelled it although I provided them with the evidence they've asked for. They did not give me a choice to appeal or replied to my emails on time, it was only after they cancelled it with a few hour notice. They don't have a phone line or an office address where you can visit, only live chat which they never responded to me on as well. Now my name is written off in the system as cancelled, I can't get any insurance anymore although I haven't done anything fraudulent. This is extremely damaging and distressful. I'm now reporting the company to the Financial Ombudsman. Because of their attitude and lack of response, it almost as if seems that they wanted to cancel me even though I have sent them valid evidence, I am reluctant to think this way normally but, I can now say that this also feels to be a racially motivated stance.

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

It is a scam

No costumer service. You can’t contact them in any way. You can’t change or cancel your policy. They don’t give you any support. It is just a scam. I have been for 6 days waiting for them to answer me in their chat and nothing I have sent a complaint email and also nothing. Reviewed on: 2nd August 2024
