Do Marshmallow policies include temporary cover?

We don’t currently offer temporary or short-term insurance. All of our car insurance policies run on a 12-month contract.


What if I only need insurance for a short time?

If you only need cover for a short period, you have two options:

  1. Take out a Marshmallow policy and cancel it when it no longer suits you.

    • If you cancel within the first 14 days of your policy starting (or before it begins), we charge a £30 administration fee.

    • If you cancel after the first 14 days, there will be a cancellation fee of up to £125, depending on when you purchased a policy and what policy plan you are on.

  2. Look into other providers that offer temporary cover.

    • Some customers have found short-term policies with other insurers.

    • As we’re not partnered with these providers, please make sure you’re happy with their terms and conditions before purchasing.
