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.

Fair or Unfair
The good thing is that they are available when you have questions. The bad thing is when one of two cars is canceled. The difference was only 1 dollar lower on just one car, which made me think having a second full coverage car only cost a dollar. I did not understand getting charged for 2 cars for 2 months when I only had 1 car and the second was canceled. There was no reimbursement for the extra, and the difference in the premium was unclear.

Watch Carefully
Don't settle on a price with the first quote and definitely do NOT go to a local insurance agent. They include their fee for profit in the price. Do it over the phone nationally.

Good value for price, but buyer beware.
Among the best-priced options out there. Bundling is a must. However, I had a chip in my windshield filled to save myself and Progressive a more expensive windshield replacement. A mistake, Progressive now counts it as a claim even though it was only $75, and now I have to pay a higher premium. I should have made Progressive replace the windshield.

Don't waste your time. Go with Progressive!
No matter how often I've wasted my time getting into these "lower your car insurance rate" deals, Progressive always winds up being the #1 recommendation. They charge about half what the others quoted.

Happy Customer
I have never had a claim, so I have no idea what to share with anyone about my policy. The only thing I can say is that when I signed up with Progressive, the salesperson was very helpful and patient in explaining everything to me.

Overall, I like Progressive Snapshot, but it doesn't seem like the best way to get a discount when it only checks hard stops and fast starts. Many times, you need these to avoid accidents.

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.

Rates are sky high. I have no tickets, no accidents, and still, for a 2007 Nissan 350Z, I pay $289 a month. This is ridiculous for a 75-year-old man, married but separated, to pay. Oh yeah, I am on Social Security too!

Refuses to Fix My Damaged Vehicle or Reimburse Me
Don't get Progressive. They canceled my policy after an accident and questioned me about fraud because I recently got a policy and then had an accident a couple of days after obtaining insurance. They still have not fixed my car or reimbursed me for rental or towing.

Essential question, repeated same, never answered after 2 weeks
An incident occurred in which there were no injuries and no apparent vehicle damage. But the other driver apparently filed a claim over the incident, and the insurance company began asking me many questions, often ones I had already answered. My first question was, "What is the claim? Injury or vehicle? Details?" After 2 weeks, Progressive never attempted to answer that.

Bad
I don't trust them. I'm scared to change. Literally. I cannot find anyone who can do less than $782 a year for home insurance and anything under $80 for car insurance with a consistent payment. Progressive is known for increasing the bill every time. How does that work? I hate talking on the phone, so don't bother. If you can find me something close to what I have, I could switch. I can't do it at over $1,000 for home insurance, and they wanted like $1,200 a year.

Review of My Experience with Progressive
Progressive was good until I used their tracking device, and they increased my rates significantly based on one above-normal month of driving. They never lowered it back, so I switched to another provider. I only drive 9,000 miles a year.

Great team, high price for low coverage
Look for full coverage at a cheaper price elsewhere because the cost of living has gone up. Everything is bleeding Americans dry, and car insurance is supposed to be affordable.

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.

Price Gouging Vehicle Insurance Companies
My current vehicle insurance doesn't cover my 2003 Olds Alero, and because my daughter (age 18) just became a licensed driver, I'm paying double the premium as a second driver! I can barely afford to pay rent or for my other vehicle. Paying almost $600 per month for vehicle insurance is ridiculous!

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.

We are retired and have an excellent driving record. We've even used their monitors for the last six months, during which we received an 11 out of 15—a great score. However, my price still went up. They tried to convince me that it's a good price, but no thanks.

Progressive Car Insurance OK, but beware when coverage changes.
Progressive's phone app makes dealing with them very convenient and accessible. However, past experiences with Progressive Car Insurance relate to setting annual premiums. They attract you as a customer with their very low initial rate, but with each policy change, their rates rapidly become very high. This is very obvious when an older car is replaced.

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.

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!

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.
