Meet Marshmallow — car insurance built for drivers with experience from all over the world. We like to think of ourselves as the best car insurance option in the UK for people with international driving experience.
When choosing the right car insurance for you, there’s a lot to consider. You want a fair price, reliable cover, and an insurer you can count on when it matters most.
That’s exactly what we deliver — and more. Here’s why Marshmallow is a great choice for your car insurance.
Save money on your car insurance
We started Marshmallow to help people who are new to the UK get cheaper car insurance.
Unlike traditional insurers, we count your years of driving experience from every country. Even if you’re a new driver in the UK, we won’t treat you like one. You’ll get a fair price based on ALL your years of driving.
Many insurers ignore your claims-free history if it’s from outside the UK — they only count your UK No Claims Discount. We do things differently. We’ll look at your claims-free driving record from any country and give you the discount you’ve earned.
All of our policies give you fully comprehensive car insurance, so you get the highest level of protection for less money.

We’ve won awards for the way we use technology to make car insurance easier and more affordable, including:

No need for a UK driving licence
Haven’t got a UK driving licence yet? No problem. We’ll insure you on your current licence, no matter which country it’s from, for up to 12 months.
That means you can get on the road as soon as you arrive in the UK - no waiting around or extra paperwork.
Once you do get your UK licence, it’s easy to update your details in just a few taps through the Marshmallow app. We’ll make sure your cover continues smoothly, without any hassle or hidden costs.

You can pay for your insurance monthly
Moving to a new country comes with plenty of unexpected expenses — from setting up your home to getting settled on the road.
That’s why we make it easy to spread the cost of your Marshmallow car insurance with simple monthly payments.
Prefer to get it sorted in one go? You can also choose to pay annually and tick it off your to-do list for the year. Either way, you’ll have full control and flexibility to manage your policy to suit your budget.
Marshmallow insurance reviews
Who better to tell you about our insurance than the people actually using it? Over 70% of our customers are new to the UK. And they have some great things to say.
“The best thing I like is that Marshmallow understands that we (people like me, a non-UK citizen who came to UK for work, who have been driving in their native country for years) are not new drivers, whereas other insurance providers treats us as a new drivers as we are converting to a UK driving licence.” - Firoz
“I just arrived UK a month ago, unfortunately, I got the accident. The Marshmallow Team is very helpful, really very helpful and very patient. They spent a lot of time and help me step by step even the questions are repeated and repeated. I am very sorry for my poor English, I can not totally express my thanks to the Team. Especially, the handler of my case.” – Cain
“I must say using Marshmallow is one of the most rewarding decisions I have made coming to UK. They made getting an insurance cover on my car using my international license possible and offered me a good premium and to crown it all, as soon I passed my driving test, my monthly premium was reduced by precisely 29.70%. This they did within 24hrs of uploading my UK licence. Thumbs up!” - Dairo
