Progressive Insurance has been a positive experience in every aspect. Good rates, never have to wait long on the phone. I did get quotes at other places, but Progressive held true with the best prices.

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.

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.

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.

Progressive, a Plus
Very good—easily better than GEICO when it comes to claims. Their agents are well-schooled and provide relevant information in a timely manner. They’re not the absolute cheapest, but they provide good 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.

Absolutely terrible!
I had my first claim in sixty-five years for under $1,000. What I went through was unbelievable. I bet I spoke with five or more agents to try and settle my claim. I finally said I was getting a lawyer, and they paid me. It went on for two months. I will never use them again and am switching companies.

Progressive has lost my respect
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.

I'm not happy with Progressive as they raised my home insurance and didn't inform me about the rate increase until nine days before the yearly premium was due. So now I'm looking for another carrier.

Only if you don't mind "Big Brother" watching you
If you want an endless audible monitor in your car to qualify for discounts you've earned, then go with Progressive. I cannot stand the monitoring device. For example, if someone pulls out in front of you, stops short, or steps into traffic ahead of you and you brake harder than usual, you're penalized. I despise that. I should not be penalized for being a responsible driver. 48 years on the road, no accidents or violations, yet I'm monitored like a 2-month-old.

Caveat Emptor: Let the Buyer Beware
To start, I had minimum coverage for a very old car. Two incidents have happened since. I was a victim of a hit and run on the freeway, and Progressive denied my uninsured motorist coverage. I had to sue to get covered and get my car fixed and my medical injuries taken care of. They said they needed the information on the other car. It was a hit and run, there was no information. In the second incident, someone ran into me as I was backing out of my driveway. Although the person was speeding in a residential school zone, because I was moving at two miles per hour backing out of my gate, the law says I was at fault. That made no sense, and they did not provide respectable representation to address that. Now my insurance premium doubled this month. Welcome to the reality of Progressive Insurance. The ads do not represent the reality.

Progressive is a very unforgiving insurance company. I was with them for 16 years, paid on time every month, and had no claims during that time. Then I had 2 claims in a year, and my insurance went up almost $200 a month. When I called customer service about it, the representative was rude and practically laughed at me. Every 6 months when the policy would renew, it would be a few dollars more, and I dealt with it, always asking myself why it went up and not down. I felt like a good, solid customer and a safe driver. Over the years, I have paid them more than they’ve paid out in claims. Probably shouldn’t have done the math on that.

Glad to be gone
My biggest problem is with your Snapshot program. It is fundamentally flawed, and I am qualified to state that since I was a major player in the development and implementation of driver safety programs. When insurance premiums are decreasing and you were forced to refund premiums to policyholders, my premium was increased. I am happy to say I am no longer insured with Progressive. My semi-annual premium for one vehicle was $740, and my new semi-annual premium for two vehicles, one being brand new, is $1100. The quote provided by Progressive for the two vehicles was $1296.

Higher Rates and Poor Customer Service

Progressive Experience
After being insured with Progressive for nearly 8 years, they made my policy non-renewable due to hearsay from a repair shop in their network. This shop took 3 months to repair my vehicle after a deer hit it, and I had to take the vehicle back several times. I was not happy, but the manager at the repair shop claimed I threatened him, so Progressive canceled my policy.

Progressive Issues
Progressive gives you a good rate initially, then increases the rates upon renewal. I was persuaded to install a monitor in my truck to check my safe driving activity. Even though I had very few hard brakes and essentially zero fast accelerations, my rates went up because my history indicated I made too many short trips. I average about 8,000 miles per year driving in a small suburban area. Also, when my wife passed away and I removed her and her SUV from the policy, my premium rate increased by about 20%. Why did that happen? My wife's SUV accounted for about 60% of the miles driven. Additionally, when I try to reach my agent, it takes several phone calls to get through to her. I am very dissatisfied with Progressive.

Don't go with Progressive. They keep raising my premiums $30-$40 per month every 6 months. I'm 59 years old and have never been in a wreck that was my fault, never filed a claim, don't speed, don't take off fast, don't tailgate, and never have anyone in my vehicle with me. If anything, my premiums should be going down.

Don't get in an accident with Progressive and you should be okay
I thought I had good coverage with Progressive until I got into an accident. Claims agents were nowhere to be found and never called me back. Then they said that the money ran out and if I had any medical bills, I would have to pay them on my own. I've never had that happen before with any other insurance company, but I hadn't even sent one bill in when they told me that there was no money to cover anything else. So I was stuck owing several thousand dollars worth of medical bills.

I was quoted $40-$60 less, and then she asked me two more questions. I couldn’t believe it when she said, "Oh, it’s changed," and it went up by $60.

Progressive used bogus reasons to increase my rate
I would advise anyone to use caution when considering Progressive, as their agents find ways to drastically increase the originally quoted rates and use other people's driving history to financially penalize those who have a good driving record.

Snapshot is useless
I have Snapshot installed to get a better discount. I tried to adhere to the requirements by keeping at the speed limit or slightly below. I had a few hard brakings due to cars either cutting in on me or almost hitting my car. But my new policy rate has increased by over $200.00. Snapshot has caused tailgaters, honkers, and one-finger salutes from passersby. If I remove Snapshot, I lose the discount they have given for having it installed. Useless, in my opinion.

Progressive is too expensive. My insurance premiums have increased twice in the last two months. How do they expect a person on a fixed income to pay $188-200 a month for car insurance and still be able to cover all other expenses, pay rent, buy food, and just live day by day?

HUGE Price Increase After 6 Months - BEWARE
At the inception of the policy, the prices were great for Progressive Insurance. When my policy was up for renewal at 6 months, my insurance premium went up over $1,000.00 for 6 months. Nothing changed on my insurance, and I didn’t have any accidents. I was told this was because of “inflation.”
