Why did my policy renew automatically?

This article is for Marshmallow policyholders who want to understand why their car insurance policy renewed automatically.

Your policy renews automatically

All Marshmallow car insurance policies are set to auto-renew by default. This is stated in the Terms of Business Agreement you agreed to when you first bought your policy.

Auto-renewal helps avoid gaps in cover. Car insurance is a legal requirement in the UK, so this helps prevent you from being uninsured.

Key reasons your policy renewed automatically:

  • Auto-renewal is active by default.

  • Car insurance is legally required in the UK.

  • Most UK insurers also auto-renew for the same reason.


We notify you in advance

We send you an email 35 days before your renewal date. It includes:

  • A link to view your renewal documents in the Marshmallow app.

  • Your new renewal price.

  • Step-by-step instructions on how to stop the renewal if you no longer want to stay with Marshmallow.

👉 Tip: If you cannot find the email, check your spam or junk folder. Make sure the email linked to your Marshmallow account is up to date.


Can I stop the renewal?

Yes, you can. However, you cannot turn off auto-renewal in the Marshmallow app. To turn off auto-renewal, please speak to a member of our live chat team.

If you have found a better offer elsewhere, we would love the chance to keep you as a customer. We cannot promise a price match, but we are happy to explore ways to offer you a better deal.

If your policy has already renewed and you no longer want to continue, we can help with your options, including cancellation.
