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’re extremely content, check with a few other places. If your insurance goes up for no apparent reason, check with your company or the agent you’re dealing with to find out why. If you find the same coverage cheaper elsewhere, before changing, contact your agent or company again and see if they can match it or do better. And always look at the reviews of an agent or company before deciding. There are good and bad options, and many to choose from—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.

Partnership with Thieves
No integrity, incompetent. Long story short, I made changes to my recent policy before the start of the effective date. I returned all requested documents by fax the same day I received them. Not having received the new policy by the renewal date, and to avoid losing coverage, I paid for the policy without the changes in full and was told the amount I would be reimbursed. Yet, the changes were never processed. After multiple calls, each agent saw, as I did in my account, that they had received the documents and submitted an urgent request to process the changes and my reimbursement ASAP. After 3 months, and through one dedicated agent, a new policy was finally processed, but it was still incorrect and an incorrect refund was issued. I'm still fighting. Now it's time for renewal and they've sent a renewal policy which is still incorrect. FYI, do not change policies, cancel them and create a new one.

Shady practices and rising costs
Every renewal my rate went up. Every time I asked, it was blamed on industry trends, inflation, or whatever excuse they could come up with. The last call I had with them before deciding to switch, I was inquiring about my new teen driver. When I wanted to add them to the policy, they said just the fact of me calling would now automatically add them to the policy, and I had no choice but to add them because my state requires it. After the call, I found out that is not true. It's a misrepresentation. Progressive doesn't allow it because of some laws in my state.

They are not helpful if you have their app and don't use a phone holder. I called them and let them know that it was showing phone usage when I wasn't using my phone. I even had video from a rider as evidence because I don't have a phone holder. They said that was my problem and it's in the policy that a phone holder is required. I looked and don't see it in the policy, and they doubled my rates.

Representatives I talked to have been rude and dismissive. They blame you even for accidents which are not your fault. Their premiums are too high and then their deductible makes it like you don't even have coverage.

They emailed me, telling me they had cheaper insurance for the next six months at $97, and then sent me a renewal at well over $100 per month. Later, when they saw I was looking for other insurance, they offered me a discount again. I did not ask how much because I don't want to do business with a company like this.

Unnecessary Inflation or Billing the Wrong People
Three years ago, when I was hit (hit and run), they were very helpful. They got me a rental efficiently and car repairs done, although the entire process took close to six months! But since then, prices have been a NIGHTMARE. I have never had an accident, ticket, or DUI. I can’t help how others drive, but my monthly payment has gone from $80 to over $155, and I only use the car maybe once a week, going 15-40 miles from home in a farming community, seeing more cows than people! Inflation is one thing, but unadulterated greed is another. I hate to be without insurance, but I am going to cancel … this is LUDICROUS. I am checking on new laws in NM now. Even $89/month seems too high for being parked six days out of seven!

I've been with them for a few years now, and you would think my bill would go down at least a little, especially with my record, but it only keeps going up!

Insurance companies have no loyalty
I don’t recommend staying long-term unless you can't find anything cheaper. Ride it out for 3 months and then switch. They are very expensive from my experience. I switched to another insurance, and they let Progressive know. Suddenly, they made my payment $80 cheaper after a whole year. The other insurance still had them beat, but don’t ever stay loyal because these companies do not care.

Frustrating Experience: Poor Service, Slow Claims, and Rising Costs
I’ve had an extremely frustrating experience with Progressive Insurance and wouldn’t recommend them. While their gimmick advertising makes them seem friendly and affordable, the reality has been far different. The claims process was slow and poorly communicated. I had to follow up multiple times just to get basic updates. Customer service was another major disappointment. Representatives didn’t seem informed, and I was transferred several times without getting clear answers. It felt like no one was taking ownership. On top of that, my rates increased unexpectedly without a clear explanation. For a company that promotes transparency, this was frustrating and misleading. Overall, the lack of responsiveness, poor communication, and questionable pricing increase practices made this a very negative experience for a large insurance company.

Progressive gave us the best rate. The policy was under my husband’s name, and they were wonderful. Everything was going well, and he had a couple of claims, so of course, the policy went up—that's to be expected. But then, for the next two years, it continued to keep going up with no more claims, just higher rates every renewal. We got it for six months. The amount was higher, so we did a quote with Progressive under my name, which lowered the rate by over $200. Everything was great again, no claims, and my rate started to go up. I’ve been with Progressive for three years now, and we’re currently paying $400 a month for two drivers and two cars. I’ve been looking at a lot of quotes, trying to find the best option for us, and I think we’re going with Allstate. This surprised me because I feel like the bigger names usually have a bigger price tag, but I can lower my deductible on Comprehensive. With Progressive, it was $500; with Allstate, the deductible for comprehensive would be zero dollars. Our deductible for collision through Progressive is $500, and through Allstate, the deductible would be $250. We also got added benefits for personal property, medical payments, and custom equipment, and the rate would be $140 less than what it was through Progressive! I will admit that Progressive would’ve gotten five stars for the first year, but due to the increasing rates, I’m rating them 2.5 to 3.

The Real Deal on Progressive Insurance
Being the best price doesn't mean that the service is that good. Yes, it serves a financial advantage, but it doesn't consider seniors who may have difficulties with their perpetual renewal price increases. They really couldn't care less and make every excuse as to why the prices increase.

After several years with Progressive and achieving a supposed "Platinum" customer status along with having zero claims, they are dragging their feet on paying a simple windshield glass claim and fighting paying for an OEM windshield for my top-of-the-line Honda CR-V that’s less than 3 years old. I’m ready to ditch them and switch to a company that takes care of their best customers.
