There’s a lot of admin to get through when you move abroad. And some of it’s pretty expensive.
Hopefully, we’ve already helped you cross ‘cheaper car insurance’ off your to-do list. Now, to help you save money and make the most of life in the UK, we’ve added a whole bunch of exclusive benefits to your policy.
Whether you’ve just moved or you’re feeling right at home already, here are six ways to make the most of your Marshmallow policy perks — from fitness to your finances.
1. Give your credit score a boost with Pillar
You need a good credit score in the UK to get the best deals on things like credit cards and loans. But with little or no credit history, you might struggle even to get essentials like a mobile phone contract or rental agreement.
If you’ve just moved here, you’ll need to build up a UK credit score. Even if you’ve been in the UK a while your score might still need a bit of work.
The Pillar app lets you see your credit score so you can work on improving it. And with the Pillar Boost feature you can link your rental payments to your credit score. That means it can help you build up a UK credit history, just by paying your rent on time.
You normally have to pay for Pillar Boost, but when you take out a Marshmallow policy we’ll give you three months’ free access and a discounted price of £2.99 a month after that.
2. Take charge of your finances with Emma
It’s hard to keep track when you’re setting up new bank accounts, insurance policies and bills. But getting your finances organised could save you time and money.
Emma is a money management app that lets you see all your bank accounts in one place. You can use it to work out where you’re spending too much and set budgets.
Depending on the plan you choose you can access cashback deals, bill reminders and more. It could really help you get to grips with all the new costs of moving to a different country.
Marshmallow customers can get a free seven-day trial of one of Emma’s Annual Plans. After that they’re available for 30% off the normal price.
3. Stream the content you love with NordVPN
Did you think you’d lost access to your favourite movies and TV shows when you moved to the UK? We’ve got the solution, with a discount just for Marshmallow customers.
NordVPN is a virtual private network that lets you stream and browse securely from anywhere. Your data is protected and your virtual location will be kept hidden. With NordVPN you can browse and stream all the content you love, even if it’s not available in the UK.
You can get up to 74% off NordVPN with your Marshmallow policy. You can also get up to 52% off NordPass, a super secure password manager.
It’s the perfect excuse to invite your UK-based friends to movie night and show them what they’ve been missing.
4. Get fit for less with PureGym
It’s not always easy to fit exercise around work and family, but you can squeeze in a workout whenever you want at PureGym. All of its gyms are open 24/7 and members can visit as often as they like and access unlimited classes.
It’s not just your finances we want to keep in shape at Marshmallow. That’s why you can get a 10% discount off the monthly cost of Core and Plus Memberships when you have car insurance with us. The joining fee is £0 and you can cancel for free at any time.
5. Secure your new home with Housing Hand
Finding somewhere to live is usually the number one priority when you relocate. But what do you do if the letting agent says you need a UK rental guarantor and your family and friends live abroad?
Housing Hand has the answer. They can act as your UK guarantor in return for a monthly fee. They won’t check your credit score either.
If you have a Marshmallow car insurance policy you can get up to 25% off Housing Hand’s guarantor service. So get viewing and land that perfect new home.
6. Get back on the road with ClickMechanic
Oh no – your car won’t start. Don’t panic, if you’re a Marshmallow customer we’ve got the perfect perk for you.
You can use ClickMechanic to get a fair, industry-vetted price for repairs. If you accept it a mechanic will be sent straight to your door or to an address of your choice at a convenient time.
If you’ve bought your car insurance from Marshmallow, you can get 10% off every quote from ClickMechanic.
