The gentleman I spoke with who handled my SXS policy provided the best customer service I have ever had with Progressive. All others I have dealt with were not so good. I am still upset that Progressive did not investigate the accident we were involved in. There were 4 cameras that saw the vehicle in front of us slam on his brakes for no reason, giving us no time whatsoever to stop. When I questioned the driver as to why he did that, he stated that he thought the vehicle two lanes from him was going to pull into his lane, which never happened. He then lied to the police when they showed up. The cameras prove what I'm saying, and yet Progressive never checked them. Completely unacceptable. Now we're paying extra for something that was not our fault at all.

Too Expensive Auto Insurance for Seniors with Good Driving Records
They are very expensive. I just purchased a new Buick Encore and my insurance went from $78.83 to $132.83. I am a 60-year-old widow on disability. Everyone is talking about companies overcharging for years (25 years), and customers are receiving some of that money back as a refund. I would like lower auto insurance and to learn about this refund if it is real.

Poor survey questions
Your survey asks for ratings on aspects I have not experienced, such as claims processing. I have not had a claim, so I cannot evaluate. This is only an example of several such categories. Poorly designed and not applicable survey!

Sky High!
Rates are too high! I’ve been driving since I was 16 with no tickets, at-fault accidents, or DUIs. I am 61 now with the same record, and my rates are still high. I shouldn’t be paying a very high dollar for insurance, even on a bundle package.

Request re-quotes and save
When NC decreased rates last year, I called Progressive and requested a new quote for my 3 vehicles. They politely did that, and I’m saving over a hundred dollars a year just for requesting a new quote. I have never had to file a claim, so I can’t speak to their claim services, whether good or bad.

Finding Auto Insurance
When your insurance is due, unless you are extremely content, check with a few other places. If your insurance goes up for no apparent reason, check with your company or agent you are dealing with to find out why. If you find the same coverage cheaper elsewhere, before changing, again, contact your agent or company and see if they can match or do better. And always, look at the reviews of an agent or company before deciding. There are good and bad, and many to choose from, so try not to make a bad decision.

Frustrating
When I signed up for Progressive Insurance, I was told in writing that I could get a better rate on this policy and save by switching to Progressive Insurance. So I changed my insurance to Progressive. Not only did it cost more, but even though it was only about $10 more, I am still paying $191.00. This is unacceptable to me. These companies are taking advantage of us as consumers because we have to have a certain type of insurance to be covered through our loan agreement. This is what's so upsetting about the insurance companies.

Progressive has become a joke with customer service
Constantly follow up on your payments, especially if you have to make changes. The past 4 months have been difficult keeping my insurance policy up to date because of a separation from my wife. They have messed up my account numerous times and just say yes to get me off the phone. Sadly, I’m a 'Gold status' client who has been with them for years. I’m not renewing my policy.

Liberty Insurance Company is so far the best company I have ever been with in my 50 years of driving. As for Progressive Insurance Company, they start you out with a low price then jack it up $150 or $200 and give you some excuse, so buyers beware. Thanks.

Buyer Beware
Buyer beware. I'm 62 years old and have paid insurance for over 30 years without ever having to make a claim. That's easily over a hundred thousand dollars. I got hit, and it was the other person's fault—they even got a ticket. Yes, my claim was up to date and paid. Progressive Insurance denied my claim, for which I pay over $200 a month, and told me to go after the other person's insurance. Progressive is not backed by the Better Business Bureau because of all the negative reviews (see for yourself). I will never ever consider Progressive Insurance again.

Experience with Progressive
Progressive was less expensive according to our insurance broker at the time, but we didn’t know that she wasn’t shopping around to all the major carriers! This year, I did my own shopping and found a much cheaper policy online! In addition, Progressive was very hard to work with when we had a minor fender bender that was not our fault!

Zero communication, zero statements, zero text messages. Why does it take 12 days for my reimbursement to just go back to my checking account? That makes no sense. They were very quick to take it out. Why such a long wait? I found insurance $100 cheaper a month.

Insurance Issues
I had a bad experience with my insurance company and agent. Our policy payment didn’t go through because we had changed our credit card after it was compromised, and we forgot about the automatic credit card payment. Six days after the insurance lapsed, we went to Tulsa to see our son, which was great. But the next week, we got a letter from Tulsa with a ticket for not having insurance, costing over $300. I called the insurance company to explain what happened and see if they could help in any way. The answer was a hard no. That’s the problem: only six days before we knew that the payment did not go through.

The whole idea of using the Snap device is flawed. I had it in my car during slippery roads and bad weather. Being judged by fast braking or acceleration in icy, slick conditions, plus living on a hill, is unfair. The gadget isn’t there to see how many accidents are dodged by quick braking or accelerations. It seems like a business practice set up to discredit drivers so rates can be raised.

Progressive is the worst insurance company!
I was supposed to have accident forgiveness after being with them for 10 years. I made a claim recently for an accident. They said the accident forgiveness would not apply because I was involved in a not-at-fault accident in the past 5 years. Then they raised my rate by 50% after paying them for 10 years to do nothing.

I have been with Progressive for 3 to 5 years, and I get the bare minimum coverage, paying $155 a month. They have never given me any discount. They couldn’t even give me a clear reason why I paid so much; they tried telling me it was because of an easy seat belt ticket. When I asked them to break down what kind of discounts I actually get, nobody could ever answer my questions. I don’t have a bad driving record. My car is an older car and paid for. Then I talked to another insurance company, and for the same coverage, it’s $80 a month. I always thought Progressive was...

Unforgiving company even with long-time customers
I had Progressive for several years, and after making all my payments on time, I ran into a few problems and was a week or two late with one payment. They canceled my policy immediately, and when I renewed the policy, they raised the price by almost $30 a month. At the next renewal, even though I had a very good score on their tracking device, it was going to go up another $20 a month. I never had any accidents or tickets, so I don’t know why it kept going up.

Less expensive with a catch.
Progressive insists on installing a monitoring device in your car and may raise your rate if they determine you've done something wrong, according to their criteria. For example, if you're rushing to an emergency room, you might be penalized for speeding with a higher rate, no questions asked.

The Worst
I spent an hour talking on the phone with a certified insurance agent who didn’t understand the concept of liability. After an hour on the phone, I was quoted a rate $9 per month lower than I had been paying. They had my car listed as a commute car, and I have been disabled and unable to work for the last 20 years. To make it even more special, they emailed me a quote for more than I had been paying. If they’re this bad at basic policy servicing, imagine their ineptitude handling an actual claim.

For the most part, they're good. But when you have an accident, they want pictures and they give you an estimate from pictures. How can you honestly give an estimate from pictures? If you had a dented bumper or door, yes, a picture would work, but when your car gets rear-ended and then they tell you that body work and painting is done for 70 dollars an hour, what the hell? This isn’t the '90s or even the early 2000s. The estimate process is a complete joke.

No care for loyal customers
Don't waste your money. They'll find any way possible to make extra money. I hit a ladder on the highway because it was either the ladder or another car, and I was made at fault by their underwriter, raising my premium. Then they added my husband, who I am legally separated from, onto my policy without my knowledge. I only found out after my premium went up $130 a month because he was arrested for a DUI, which has nothing to do with me. Then, in order to remove him, I had to make him an excluded driver by signing some paperwork and mailing it in, which makes no sense since we are legally separated and haven't lived together in years. Stay away, that's my advice.
