Can I choose the start date of my quote?

Yes, when you get a quote through our website, you can select your preferred policy start date. You can even choose for the cover to begin on the same day you get your quote.


Can I change the start date of a saved quote?

No. Once a quote has been saved, its start date cannot be changed.

If you need a different start date, you’ll need to get a new quote on our website.


What if I need cover before the start date of my quote?

Marshmallow does not offer temporary or short-term cover. If you need insurance immediately and your Marshmallow quote starts on a later date, you might consider:

  • Looking into temporary car insurance providers on the market who offer cover for a few hours or days.

Make sure to cancel any temporary policy once your Marshmallow policy starts to avoid overlapping cover.
