Yes, you can nominate a trusted person such as a family member, friend, or partner to assist with managing your Marshmallow car insurance policy. This is known as adding a Third Party Authority (TPA) or nominee.
Adding a nominee means they can speak to Marshmallow on your behalf and request changes to your policy, within set limits.
What can my nominee do?
Once a nominee has been added and verified, they can use live chat to request mid-term adjustments (MTAs), such as:
- Changing the insured vehicle
- Updating your address or mileage
- Adding a private registration plate
- Ask general questions and discuss the policy with Marshmallow
They can also help with day-to-day policy management if you’re unavailable or need extra support
What can’t my nominee do?
Your nominee cannot:
- Cancel your policy without your explicit permission
- Change the email address on the policy
- Authorise any change that increases your premium by more than £200 without your consent
For any adjustments above £200, our team will contact you directly to confirm before proceeding.
How do I add a nominee?
To nominate someone:
- Contact our Customer Support team and let them know you’d like to add a nominee.
- We’ll ask for both your and your nominee’s full details (including names, dates of birth, postcodes, and contact numbers).
- We’ll then contact your nominee to confirm their consent.
- Once verified, we’ll confirm with you and update your profile accordingly.
You can revoke this access at any time by contacting us.
How is a nominee verified?
When your nominee contacts Marshmallow, we’ll ask them to confirm:
- Your name
- Policy number
- Date of birth
- Postcode
We’ll also verify the nominee’s:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Postcode
- Last 3 digits of their contact number
If they can’t provide this information, we won’t proceed with the conversation for security reasons.
