Is Progressive A Good Insurance Company? Reviews From Over 20,824 Customers

Recently had a claim and the overall service was excellent. I was informed every step of the way!

Satisfied with my vehicle's coverage.

I'm happy with my experience.

Check each quote twice.

Great customer service, and they did all they could to get me a good rate.

They work with me.

Excellent! My premium just went down $30.00 per month due to my 6 months of good driving with Snapshot.

Insurance is good, but the price is too high.

Progressive has definitely gotten better over the years now that I’m back with them. I’m very happy with what they offer.

Nothing special, but no hassle.

They explain everything.

I feel that given our age (83) and the small amount of driving we do (1,200 miles per year), our rate should be much lower. They claim that since my grandson, who was on the policy, had a not-at-fault accident, it will affect my rate even though I took him off. That accident had absolutely nothing to do with me. Unfair!

They simply have the lowest prices. We have switched for a better price, but other companies always raise the rate for some reason, so we go back to Progressive.

Everything has been great so far.

The price never goes down, and they offer no senior discount.

Professional and engaging. Best rates compared to all other companies by far. They have earned my business and my grateful loyalty.

Great

Progressive is a great company for car insurance. I’m going through an active claim with them right now, and I’m sure it will be adequately and sufficiently handled as in the past. I would like more discounts for being an excellent driver, though.

I've never had to use them, but their rates are too high.

Efficient

I'm so impressed with everything here today, I barely have words to say thank you.

Great claims service. Treated like royalty!

Good experience.

They are a great team, but I would like to see quotes from other providers to see if I can get a better price.

I got my insurance online and it was cheaper. The service man was very knowledgeable and helped me a lot.

Much cheaper for a senior.

I don't like that I have not received proof that I have car insurance or a policy number. I would like to have that ASAP.

I'm very satisfied with my car insurance.

It was the best value at the time, but before renewing again, I'll compare it to as many alternatives as possible because it's still too high compared to what insurance used to cost.

I feel like my rate is very high for a 63-year-old with a 10-year-old car.

Good, but I would like to reduce my insurance cost.

Started with good rates, then they went up and up, back to the old price I was paying.

They did what they could to get my premium within my budget limits without sacrificing the coverage I wanted.

Low cost

So far, so good. I may switch at a later date, depending on rates.

Good, no hassle.

I just started with Progressive. Thus far, they've been great. I saved over $900 from my previous policies with Allstate, and the coverage is the same or even better.

I strongly resent insurance companies penalizing drivers who honestly and willingly admit to having a no-fault accident (no violations and no tickets) by raising their rates, whether on purchase or renewal. It is unethical, and the government agency regulating insurance companies should prevent this action. Insurance companies penalize drivers based on age rather than the person's actual abilities. They assume that all young adults or all senior adults drive poorly and, therefore, unjustly charge higher rates. It is unethical, and the government agency regulating insurance companies should prevent this action. Progressive offers Snapshot, providing the driver a nice discount if this program is used. The problem? Snapshot—and I will presume all similar programs with other companies—is calibrated to high sensitivity levels, which incorrectly record the driver's actions. These calibrated high sensitivity levels are unrealistic in the driving world! My friends tell me regularly that I am a good driver, but Snapshot would paint a polar opposite picture. Snapshot is a program that is designed more to control the driver's actions than it is to help improve the driver's abilities or reduce rates.

Don't use Snapshot; you need more information about it.

I'm happy with Progressive. I was just comparing prices.

Good, and they have reduced my cost a little over time. My record shows 5 claims, all for glass, and I don't think that should be a factor in determining my rate.

It is a good price for full coverage.

Watch for policy increases due to hard braking disputes. One cannot explain examples even if other drivers caused you to "hard brake." Progressive increased my premium by two hundred dollars for a 6-month period. Insurance companies have an excuse to increase premiums by suggesting every hard braking counts as a potential collision. Very heavy traffic in the Sarasota area!

Expensive, but cheaper than anyone else.

It's been very easy to understand.

Good but high priced.

Good so far.

Happy with customer service and the time they took to explain coverage.

I had to speak to a representative instead of doing this online.

The representative was nice and gave me all the discounts.

I have only been with Progressive for 2 years. I have had the best experience! I have had other insurances, but Progressive, to me, is hands down the best! I even had a pretty substantial claim. I let someone borrow my car, and he hit another car, and both were totaled.

I have not had any interaction.

After being with Allstate for over 50 years, they became too expensive. Progressive has been very good to start.

Too expensive.

Got my rate cut in half because I did not get an agent involved and I drive low mileage. It was helpful, and I'm getting almost $500 back from my previous policy.

I'd recommend it to my friends.

Progressive is costing me extra because I'm not driving a lot. I'm being penalized for not driving more. Figure...

Insurance premiums are going up for no reason whatsoever. There should be options for cars that are seldom driven. Very unfair industry!

Look for cheaper alternatives. I pay $180.00 a month for standard insurance. No roadside, no windshield replacement, no senior discount.

Less expensive insurance is needed for us 80+ seniors, as our driving is minimal.

They raise my rate every month, it seems. There is no reason to do this—no accidents, tickets, nothing but my zipcode.

Expensive.

Too much money. I started out paying $150 a month and now I'm paying over $600 a month. I thought the longer you stay with a company, the better the experience?

For my age and the length of time I've been a customer, I would search elsewhere. I feel I don't get any consideration. I've taken the safe driver's course, haven't received any tickets, and still, my rates are high even though I have two vehicles.

I thought I was supposed to get several discounts but never found any. I am looking for cheaper coverage with more evident discounts. What's wrong with telling me what discounts I am getting? Is it some big secret or what?

Progressive is apparently the cheapest on the market, but I do feel like I am being overcharged.

Disappointing. I switched from State Farm to Progressive for the lower rate. Then, within 6 months, my rate increased by almost $200. I thought I was getting the lower rate for at least the first year.

I had a small fender bender that did hardly any damage to the other person’s car and mine. They claimed it was damage done at another time and would not pay for all of it, which was untrue. Then they turned around and raised my rate by approximately $80.

Too expensive. I have the same old car, yet the price still increases.

Shop around; Progressive appears to be one of the highest-priced vehicle insurance companies.

Identical auto coverage for less than half the price of the Progressive policy quoted is available in multiple places.

Not too good. The price is way too much for liability.

Progressive uses bait and switch tactics. They give you an initial discount when you first start, then they remove it after the first 6 months. My coverage increased $600 without any accidents or tickets.

Constantly increasing rates, regardless of good driving history.

They're too expensive. Every six months, your rates go up. They don't help if you're in a car accident.

They have very high insurance premiums compared to other insurance companies.

The amount of the monthly payment was not clearly indicated.

I've had them for several years and never made a claim. I carry insurance for a boat and truck, and the price continues to go up. I even cut all my coverage in half to try to reduce the cost. They keep saying I'm getting this and that, but it's the same story—too much talk and prices keep going up.

I took the offer from Progressive, but it was not underwritten properly, so I switched to Allstate a few months later.

Progressive lured me in with an excellent quote, then raised my premium by 75%. There were no accidents, incidents, or traffic tickets recorded during my initial policy period.

In the first four years of having this insurance company, everything was good. Then I had an at-fault claim when I backed into a light pole, which only damaged my vehicle, and my monthly rate almost doubled. Then, one year later, they raised my rates again with no other claims or tickets. Needless to say, I'm not happy with Progressive and have found another insurer for $120 monthly cheaper. I feel that they are taking advantage of loyal customers instead of rewarding them for staying with them.

I'd tell my friends in my age group to shop around, as Progressive is expensive.

Progressive sent me their Snapshot device twice, but it couldn't be hooked up or work properly. They kept sending me emails stating that unless this device is hooked up, my rate will be raised. This happened even after I notified them that their device did not work. If they raise my rate, I will cancel my insurance. What they are doing feels like harassment to me and other customers.

The price kept changing back and forth, and the site was very unstable.

It's cheap, and I guess you get what you pay for.

It's worth the time to check out their insurance discounts if you're considering switching to Allstate.

Their rates are too high.

Too many extra fees.

First off, do not sign up for their SAFE DRIVER DISCOUNT. I found it very intrusive. They basically want to control your life while driving your vehicle, and when I refused to return the document, they raised my insurance by $50.00 per month. Plus, their home insurance was far more expensive than other major carriers.

I am looking for any company that doesn't require their app to monitor my driving. Progressive's app drains my phone battery.

Trying to renew my policy after 20+ years with Progressive was extremely hard. The right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. Every time I called, it was a different person, and they were clueless about what was discussed with previous agents. I had enough; it was so frustrating.

So-so. They don’t believe you when you say your mother has her own insurance and does not drive your truck. They want you to fill out a form that says she doesn’t drive your truck. Extra hassle to go through. Their driving app is not accurate; it even picks up when I'm driving a forklift at work.

They will do their work but drag their feet in situations you don't expect. I had to get legal help to make them cover an uninsured motorist issue, and in another incident, they did not represent me well and did no investigative work to alleviate responsibility that was reasonably shared, not completely mine. That was damaging to me.

Progressive charges me $233.00 a month for a 1996 F-150 and a 2011 Charger (no Hemi). I have no tickets or claims. I'm actively looking for a new company. Don't use Progressive.

They are always changing the rates higher and higher every six months. I have not had a ticket in over 40 years. I have not caused any car accidents. I opt out of your medical coverage every time because I have Medicaid and Medicare. I also don't use your towing service because I have my own towing package elsewhere. So explain to me why every six months, when it rolls around, this insurance is constantly going up. I'm also on a fixed income. Where are all these savings I'm always being told I'm getting? Thanks for your time. Looking forward to hearing back from you explaining why.

Overpriced. Search online for the best price. I drive under 50 miles a month in a 1996 cargo van just for grocery shopping only, a 6-mile trip. State liability only, and it still costs $72.00 a month. It's a ridiculous price.

I'm very disappointed. These last 2 years, out of many years being with Progressive, have been crushing. I've been in 2 deer accidents with 10 years in between them. They put my kids on my plan, even though I did not want them there. One is afraid to drive, and the other had their own policy with Progressive. When I review my policy and tweak a couple of things, they cancel my current policy. They are not into saving you money; they take it. Snapshot is punishment for lowering your amount. The thing beeps when your car isn't even moving.

I would like to see better options at better prices. They do okay.

Car insurance is fine, but house insurance is terrible. My home insurance went from $900 the first year to $1,400 the second year, and now it's $2,100. I'm looking for new insurance.

It's expensive. Like super expensive. My tip would be to look somewhere else. I am actually going to switch as soon as my next payment is due.

I could never recommend Progressive. There are only discounts if you allow them to auto-draft your funds, and they take what they want. I have an excellent driving record, and still, the premiums are high.

It's hard to get new quotes from third parties, but they say Progressive is $60 cheaper per month if I switch. However, I had a stroke, and it's hard to switch all the paperwork. When I got my last renewal, I was told that it was the cheapest plan, yet the quotes were so much cheaper!

Be aware that their snapshot program penalizes you for hard braking and states this as a reason for raising their rates. Ridiculous!

Great price, but I still haven't gotten my proof of insurance cards.

I don't know. I have no claims, but my rates went up each policy period.

I keep the payments up, but they keep increasing the premiums. Even with my clean driving record, I have seen no rewards.

Progressive keeps raising the prices every time you sign a new 6-month period. My record is clean, and they claim you get all these discounts, even though the prices are sky high.

Too expensive. I've never been in an accident, no tickets, and barely drive 5,000 miles a year on a 2016 basic vehicle, yet I'm paying $100 a month. Shame on you.

They just keep raising the rates even though we have perfect driving records.

I am unhappy with their reminder system. They let my insurance lapse without any notification. When I contacted them, they didn't seem to care. I had a couple of conversations with them and I resigned. They knew I had my boat insured with them and never told me my insurance on the boat was expiring. It is now expired. I am going to switch companies.

I pay $224 a month at 66 years old with no DWI and no tickets.

On the plus side, they are always happy to assist and always friendly. However, it's only because they charge high prices and increase the policy rates when you renew.

Not good. My premium keeps going up. I am very upset from $305 to $335 every 6 months. What for? We are good drivers with no tickets or issues.

They continue to hike rates despite no claims or tickets.

I have Progressive and I'm shopping around because they have been overcharging me.

Progressive doubled my rates even though I had no accidents or tickets.

They increase your price within a year.

The rate increased without any explanation.

Low price to start, but they raised the price by $100 in the next 6 months.

I am no longer with Progressive because they took advantage of me when I was desperate. I'm back with Geico, where I feel pretty good. My insurance at Progressive went from $47 a month to $123 a month (my share). My ex-wife caused issues in the last year of our marriage, and Progressive was more than happy to charge me more, which hurt. I paid them off for what she did, and I didn't find out about it until after the divorce. She also caused problems with Geico, but I paid them off too. I don't think it's fair that she walked away from the marriage squeaky clean and ruined my credit. Geico took into consideration what I had been through and helped as much as they could. Progressive better not take another payment out of my account. I will never put someone under my name again. Thanks, peace.
