Everything was fine
Everything was fine, however when I first applied I was turn down due to driving record. Knowing that my driving good, I got my records from the motor vehicle department. I called Ahoy back and scanned it to you. I never heard back so I called to see what happened and then was approved. Not sure why I was declined at the first attempt.

The customer service is phenomenal
The customer service is phenomenal, the help selecting the right policy for my needs is perfect. The pricing is awesome. I would just like to see that a tender is allowed on the policy up to no more than 11 foot like other insurance companies allow.
