Difficult company to depart from

1
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 du... Reviewed on: 11th March 2025

The worst customer service I have ever received.

1
The worst customer service I have ever received. I have never received an email from them and they decided to cancel my policy without leaving me any time to respond to anything. Their reason to do this was that I did not respond to their email, that I have NEVER received, and now they are trying to make me pay £1200 within 7 days for NO REASON AT ALL. When I address my concerns they said they cant do anything because its same day reinstallation only, even though I have been e... Reviewed on: 5th March 2025

Scam! Avoid at any costs. Lost £19'000 with them!

1
They are perfect when I want to insure my car, but not so good when I have a claim. Furthermore, for my car accident they've instructed me to contact Winn Solicitors who gave me a hire car and spend 4 weeks repairing my car, and then asked me to pay £19'000 for their services suggesting I've breached the contract by providing false information about the accident. What's the purpose of the car insurance then if I pay the bills in full? I feel I was scammed! When I try to contact ... Reviewed on: 1st March 2025

Avoid Marshmallow Insurance

1
I had an absolutely dreadful experience with Marshmallow Insurance. After my car was damaged in an accident, I filed a claim expecting a straightforward process. Despite providing all the necessary documentation and evidence, my claim was denied without a valid reason. It felt like they were actively looking for any excuse to avoid paying out. To make matters worse, communication was a nightmare. I tried reaching out multiple times via phone and email, but my attempts were most... Reviewed on: 18th February 2025

Never use Marshmallow

1
I was more or less forced to use them when moving from Somerset to Buckinghamshire. The entire experience was fraught & expensive. They have no proper staff & their app is irritating in the extreme. It was an interim insurance, & I would have been penalised had I changed insurer within the first year. As it was I paid monthly at double what I was paying in Somerset. I moved to Cumbria in July 2024 & my year is up at the end of February. I have renewed at 64% less... Reviewed on: 13th February 2025
