Why can't I be billed

I'm trying to add another vehicle and they're requesting me to pay the difference up front. Why can't I be billed for the difference?

Thank you for sharing your feedback. When making certain changes to your policy, such as adding a vehicle within the first 30 days or when the change impacts your premium, we may require payment of the difference up front in order to process the change. This helps ensure your coverage is updated immediately and your policy remains in good standing. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your specific situation, our customer service team is here to help at 877-218-7865, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. We appreciate your understanding and are here to support you - Roy

After answering the questionnaire

After answering the questionnaire, Elephant Insurance offered me the lowest rate for the auto insurance coverage that I need. It’s an easy process.

The absolute most ignorant auto…

The absolute most ignorant auto insurance company you will ever come across. I would AVOID them at all cost! They're a gimmick, at best. Horrible communication, difficult to work with, and give you very little for your money.
