Do Better Progressive
They're okay, budget-friendly, but they stick it to you when you make policy changes. That's why I'm shopping. If they'd take care to keep customers, we wouldn't have to shop each time the price hikes.

No reduction in payments after 7+ years of being a loyal customer

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.

Progressive, a Plus
Very good, easily better than GEICO when it comes to claims. Their agents are well-schooled and provide relevant information on a timely basis. They are not the absolute cheapest but provide value for the money spent.

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.

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!

I'm satisfied with Liberty
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.

No loyalty shown towards me
Well, I have been a loyal customer for over 5 years. No accidents or tickets. My bill keeps getting more expensive. I reached out to other companies. They all quoted me half the price. I am over 65 and don't drive much. I believe I am more entitled to my money than they are.

Definitely not the insurance company they used to be, not worth the money!

High prices, poor coverage, poor customer service.
I have Progressive. They offered good rates to lure me in. Two months in, there was a huge price increase, and then it happened two more times. I haven’t even had it a year, and it has more than doubled.

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.

Spying on Innocent Will Not Be Accepted, But Will Cost Extra
Too expensive. It starts low and rises quickly unless you allow them to track your driving habits with monitoring apps and devices.

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.

Uncertain of Monthly Rate Increase
Progressive Insurance continues to raise my rates without any accidents while being covered. Since I am drawing Social Security, a rate increase only makes it more difficult to adjust my cost of living.

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!

No reason for my bill keeps going up
It's frustrating that they keep raising my payment more and more for no reason. I have no tickets, no wrecks, and I drive safely, but they still keep increasing what I pay for just liability. It's gotten as expensive as full coverage, and it's ridiculous.

I will never go back to Progressive
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.

The only reason I use Progressive is because nobody else will insure me due to my vehicle, a 2017 Hyundai. I have no tickets, no DUI, no accidents, and no claims. I'm 70 years old. I did file bankruptcy a few years back, but I do pay my bills. Customer service is kind of rude at Progressive. They reviewed me 6 months ago because, in my opinion, they were upset because I was looking elsewhere for insurance. The agent's words were, "We are not sure if we want to even insure you."

My bill just went up after I drove around for 6 months with their snapshot device. Tell me how that makes sense. I was supposed to get a $125 discount. A deer ran out and hit my car, and they wouldn’t even help me cover the damages. I’m switching ASAP. I started at $92 a month and now I’m at $144.

I recently had major damage to my vehicle due to hitting a pothole. Although I have a claim number and a claim representative, I've called him three times for an update with no callbacks. They sent me numerous questionnaires with questions like, "Did you honk at the pothole to get it to move, or was the pothole moving or stationary?"

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. Avoid them!

The longer I was a member, the more I ended up paying over time
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...
