Is Progressive A Good Insurance Company? Reviews From Over 20,795 Customers

Found less expensive insurance with the same coverage.

Distant but no problems.

Good price with high-level provisions and a good reputation.

My premium is too high for my driving history.

Always there when I need them.

Good price.

I wish car insurance was not so expensive. It should be based on your driving record, not the area you live in.

I had a very good experience with Progressive auto and tent homeowners.

So far, so good. No problems, and the app is great.

Great, just looking for something that's cheaper.

Never had a claim. There should be a discount for that.

Best price for the coverage.

Good coverage, nice respectful people, always provide feedback.

Shop around and look at offers carefully.

Progressive is tops in knowing the product and providing the product.

I have had no problems. Recently, they raised their rates.

They tell you one thing and do another. My bill went up without them telling me why. I'm looking for someone that will explain why.

Complex

Excellent customer service!

They worked hard to get me the best rate.

The only problem was that Progressive said they would contact my old insurance to let them know I have a new policy, but they didn’t. Now they say I owe them money for two weeks of coverage after the cancellation date.

Costs too much.

When it comes to driver age cost for insurance, this company is very expensive. Don't believe the ads on TV.

It's very frustrating to work with them online. Passwords don’t seem to work, and there are issues with the username. Just a lot of problems with that aspect of it.

Recurring issues with rate changes on bills.

Too expensive.

Good value based on comparison to others. Easy to use website.

Apply online and pick the coverage you want.

Good, just a little too high on cost.

The insurance rate is high. I've never had an insurance claim, DUI, or anything that would cause a high premium.

I've been with them for a long time. I bought a new car and everything doubled in price, so much for the loyalty program. I have no tickets and am considered a safe driver.

It's okay, they raised my monthly payment and when I called and asked why, the lady said it was because of trains. We have no trains in our area; the closest train is over 74 miles away. Then she said it was just the area. Funny thing is, my daughter lives right beside me and hers didn’t raise. I have no accidents or tickets. She also said that it was a rate adjustment. I guess I was the only one to get it.

Easy as 123: sign up, get coverage, relax.

It's good value for the money, but policy/price transparency could be better.

My insurance went from $112 for full coverage to $150+ for the same coverage. I moved to a smaller town in the same state and a less touristy area!

It's been pretty good so far. The pricing could be better, but other than that, it's been good.

Progressive is fine. It would be great to pay a lower rate since I don't drive 50 miles a week. I'm retired and usually only drive to doctor appointments or run errands.

Fair price and recently issued me a refund check.

My present coverage is fine as I am happy with them. The tips I would give to a friend is that I would recommend them highly!

Just recently bought this policy, so no opinions yet.

The price for new customers is cheaper than for those renewing, and that annoys me.

Reasonable and available.

My current car insurance kept going up, and that forced me to look elsewhere.

Good company, but too expensive.

I already have Progressive and am glad they had the best price for what I need.

Great service.

They raise prices annually. You need to keep on top of them for this.

Great price.

Hello All, I just began using PROGRESSIVE Insurance for my car. I am retired (81 years old). The real "test" for any company, especially car insurance, is if I have a mishap and require them to act per our agreement for coverage. Stay tuned....

I just moved to GEICO. I left Progressive because they increased my rates more than double after someone hit my parked car and I made a claim.

I feel that they need to call their customers once a year to see if there are any changes.

Great coverage all around.

Very helpful team.

So far, Progressive has been okay for us. My insurance did not go up this year, which is a good sign.

Progressive doubled my insurance bills without notifying me. That's not right. Plus, they wanted the new renewal fee. I decided not to pay. On top of that, I never received bills in the mail to pay the premiums. So I switched providers.

Make sure to comparison shop.

Least expensive so far.

Better price either way for older vehicles.

I did have a reason to communicate with my insurance, Progressive, and it was helpful, low-key, and efficient.

As anyone should do, keep looking for prices. Some places claim discounts for no accidents in over 3 years. Some offer discounts for low mileage annually. They claim all sorts of discounts but do not deliver. I have yet to find any insurance company that stands behind their statements. Progressive is no different.

I got a low rate since I don't drive except to the grocery store and the chiropractor about two miles down the road. Then it kept going up. They said it was just an introductory offer... No one told me that!

Be prepared for a 20% price increase when it's renewal time.

Okay, I have had insurance since I was 16 years old, and I am about to be 42. I've been with a few different companies throughout the years, and never have I once had to send photos of my vehicle from the front, back, and sides, making sure it displays my license plate number along with my registration on every vehicle that I have on my policy, which is three. This is something I have never heard of an insurance company doing when first starting an insurance policy for your vehicle.

$90 more than USAA.

I've got Progressive and it has been the cheapest, otherwise I'd have something else.

Premium too high for how little I drive.

They offered a low estimate on repairs because they have their own shop.

I have Progressive, and they tripled my new quote in a different state.

Prices are terrible! I am 72, my wife is 68. No tickets, no claims, but insurance goes up anyway. Can't insure my vehicles differently. Have to have the same coverage on both, even though there is a 10-year difference in the age of the vehicles. Can't get the agent I wanted close to my home. Have to drive 1.5 hours to see the agent, instead of 30 minutes for the one I wanted. No loyalty to me at all for staying with you for three years.

They start out with a lower rate, then hit you with increases every pay period.

I have been driving for 55 years. No chargeable accidents, but my premiums continue to increase.

Too expensive. I hardly drive anywhere, and it’s $183 a month for full coverage.

Progressive increased my rates significantly due to a DUI two years ago. When it was removed from my record, I switched to State Farm because Progressive's pricing was too high for me.

Excellent in every category. I have full coverage for less than just comprehensive with Progressive, and they didn't increase my premium by $38 just because I moved to Eugene. They also didn't lie and say on paper that I requested the rate hike. What the heck?

They keep raising my rates. I'm a senior and only drive about 30 miles a month. I have a great driving record, so I don't understand the continued rate hikes month after month.

Too expensive for liability for my vehicle.

I find this insurance carrier too expensive. I'm paying monthly way more than I did with State Farm, where I had full coverage.

You are the worst insurance company that I have had in a long time. The reason for this statement is that when I got the insurance, I was told that I would only be paying $114 a month. Now, you are making me pay more than that, and I am having to pay over $300.00 a month. It is not fair to do what you did to me. I need my insurance so I can take care of my grandson, who is 5, and also my wife, who is on oxygen and needs to go to doctor's appointments 4 times a week. Now you sent me a cancellation notice, and I will lose my insurance on the 22nd of this month because you made my payment so high that I have to go without insurance. You are not letting me pay $114.00 a month. I am begging you to put my insurance back to $114.00 a month. Please help me out so my wife can get to her doctors and my grandson can get to school.

The premium is very high, and it's almost impossible to use the roadside service. Additionally, there is a fee involved. The service feels deceptive and overpriced.

The Snapshot program that is intended to get drivers discounts is fundamentally flawed. While I believe the intent of the Snapshot program is to encourage positive behavioral change, I find its execution—particularly the plug-in device with audible alerts—to be fundamentally flawed. My concerns focus on the audible alerts triggered during what the system classifies as “unsafe” driving events, most notably “hard braking.” During my participation in the program, I received multiple audible alerts attributed to hard braking. Upon reviewing the corresponding reports in the Snapshot mobile application, I observed that these alerts were recorded as hard-brake incidents. Because the application does not provide a data export function, I manually copied the event data to conduct my own review. In reviewing the overall data, approximately 90% of my recorded driving time resulted in a “Great job!” assessment within the application. Despite this, I was informed that my driving behavior placed me at risk for a premium increase. And yes, my premium has been increased despite having a clean and accident-free driving record.

Progressive started fine; it was the cheapest option but still seemed to have enough perks. However, there was no warning that the policy was about to expire and re-enroll, or more importantly, that the policy was going up in price. That's concerning.

My tip would be not to get Progressive - they raise your rates even when you have had zero accidents. Looking to switch ASAP.

I cannot see why my rates go up every 6 months, with no claims or tickets during that time period.

At the beginning, they gave me a great quote, but after I accepted and paid my insurance upfront, they began to renege on the original offer. They first tried to upcharge me $1,500 more and asked me for 5 years of declaration pages from my former insurance. I had been with my former insurance for 15 years, and they gladly complied with my request to upload and send Progressive the information they asked for. They shared with me that their request was a bit unusual. I ended up paying $600 more.

What to say about Progressive? You'll progressively pay more every year, despite having no claims, accidents, or tickets. Add more services and get bundle discounts, they say. What a joke. After bundling multiple policies and having been with Progressive for over 9 years with no reasons for our costs to keep rising, we attempted to get a loyalty discount of any kind—$3 off a month by adding a boat policy (we live in a city) is what we were offered, which cost $31 more for that particular policy, so no actual discount at all.

After being a loyal customer for several years, I find the company to be very disappointing in its loyalty to its customers. It is easy to add coverage and pay for that coverage, but I find the company is unwilling to reduce costs according to my coverage needs.

I'm disappointed that my rates were raised because a power line broke and set my tool shed on fire.

I had Progressive for about 12 years, and we were Emerald level clients. After 2 accidents last year, they sent me a non-renewal notice. I was upset, but it turned out to be a blessing because they were charging about $8,800 for full coverage for 3 cars per year. After shopping around online, I found 2 different major companies that offered the same policy for about half the price. I will definitely shop prices every few years from now on.

I have been with them for many years, never made a claim, and my premium is still going up.

I have insurance with Progressive, and because of my age of 75, I feel I've been discriminated against. While some cars pay less than $900 a year, I have to pay $2,800 because of my age. According to their agents, an elderly person represents a danger.

Increased my insurance by $400 in a 6-month renewal.

Regarding the claim I had, I thought Progressive would have backed me since I feel that the incident was not my fault. There was nothing I could have done to avoid the e-bike from hitting the rear quarter panel of the passenger side of my car. Instead, they decided to settle the claim. If I were in a better financial position, I would have hired a lawyer and fought this. Well, it is closed now. I sincerely hope my rate does not increase due to this incident. Lastly, I am waiting for a release from the other party's attorney assuring me that he cannot come back to me in the future. Alyssa Watson is supposed to send it to me as soon as she receives it.

Progressive charged me twice what I was paying during renewal without discussing it with me. Be cautious if your card is on file.

Rates seem high for seniors with low miles and not used every day.

I was initially given a lower quote, but it has periodically increased despite my choosing lower coverage.

Progressive's quote was as expected, but each quarter it increases to a very high amount. I would not recommend them. Look for another company now.

I really have not had much customer service interaction with the company, as I have had no claims in the over three years I have been with them. I have called twice to see about lowering my monthly rate, but unless I want to change my coverage, there is no way. It's strange how my monthly rate keeps going up each month little by little. It started with my Jeep Cherokee. The first month the rate was $72, and three years later it was over $90 a month, and this was with no claims at all. Now with my new car, the rate each month has gone up again. It’s now over $114 this last month, and I have only owned the car for 4 months.

Rates are extremely high. No claims have ever been filed. Basing insurance rates on credit is crazy.

Usually, the longer you have insurance through a company, the cheaper it is supposed to get. Progressive is not that type of insurance company. When you call and ask about the increase to your insurance, the company gives poor answers.

Overcharging us even though we have been customers for over 5 years! They raised our premiums because of our no-fault claim.

Progressive is a little cheaper than others; however, I've been with them for 4 years, and it seems my policy kept going up and not down like other companies do. I felt I stayed stuck at the same amount the entire time, or it was going up and not down. When asked why, all I got was, "All companies raised their policy this year." Nothing about how or when it will go down. So to me, Progressive is another company that is only out to take your money. I never had an accident or anything to raise my amount.

Expensive, and the price constantly goes up.

When I first got Progressive, they quoted me $103 monthly. Well, the following month they charged me $174, and that continues. I talked to customer service, and he told me the raise in insurance was because I wasn't with my previous company, Geico, for 3 months, which is ridiculous because I was with Geico for 5 months. They were too high at $164 a month.

Progressive tripled my rate after a minor accident.

The pricing was not accurate. My quote was $147, then it jumped to $170, and then to $190 in a matter of one week! I'm not pleased with Progressive at all. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Progressive keeps raising the price with every 6-month renewal.

Good price for the first month, then they double the price, so not good.

Too expensive. They gave me a price, but every month they take $40 more than the agreement states, and no one can tell me why. Every time I try to search for a different insurance, they always transfer me back to Progressive. I'm waiting on a settlement, then I'm moving out of this state and going someplace where Progressive does not have a monopoly on insurance.

They continue to raise the price every 6 months and say it's because I live in Fallon, Nevada. I have a very good driving record. I started out paying $97.00 a month, and now, because of where I still live, it's $197.00 a month. I still have a perfect record, and I'm 65.

Way overpriced, but still lower than any other option right now.

Progressive is way too expensive, although the app and chat are conveniently available. Yes, way too expensive, not enough discounts for veterans like myself.

I was with them for 5 years with no accidents or tickets, and my insurance went up by $40.00. So I left and went to another insurance place and saved $60.00 for the same coverage.

Raises pricing for no reason. I have no tickets, no DUIs. Clean driving record for over 40 years. FICO score 750+.

After paying in full ahead of time, they billed me two or three separate times for more money!

My car insurance premium doubled after 6 months with no accidents, no claims, no tickets, and never a DUI record. What happened to justify the 50% rate hike?

Everything is automated. We appreciated the roadside assistance; we paid full price, and this was essential. We used them for a dead battery, and Progressive roadside service was excellent.

NYS has the highest premiums anywhere, despite a great driving record! I've had zero tickets since 1989, yet my premiums go up all the time. Progressive told me 3 years ago it was because of the payout costs. Either get a new accountant or make offenders pay what they owe, not on the low income! Please.

Watch out for rate increases with no explanation of why they're raising your rates when you have no accidents and no moving violations.

The insurance was highly expensive. A deer hit my vehicle, and the insurance company provided no help. Then they wanted to charge me over $900 for the month of March. I'm a 45-year-old male with a long driving record over 26 years.

More expensive than most.
