Is Progressive A Good Insurance Company? Reviews From Over 23,839 Customers

I mentioned that I only drive locally. I’m retired and just go out when I need to.

Shop around before you buy. Compare coverages and deductibles. I saved by going with Progressive Direct and paying 6-month coverage in full.

Easy to get a hold of and fast service.

Your prices are really good and you can get it done online. The people are really helpful.

It's Progressive. They are fine, I just need a better price.

Reasonable price.

Great company. Rates are ridiculously high. But you can count on Progressive.

Affordable.

Good service and coverage. Pricing is okay but could be better.

Excellent customer service and support.

Just switched to Progressive and am saving almost $1,000 thanks to their fair pricing, unlike Travelers who seemed to penalize us for being loyal, accident-free, ticket-free, claim-free, and on-time payers of both home and auto. Glad we switched. Only time will tell.

Progressive is consistently the cheapest for my cars and home.

Best price.

Good deal

Lower the rates.

It's better to compare rates that best suit your needs at the "right" price.

Great customer service! I saved hundreds of dollars with my policy reevaluation!

Excellent in time and form.

Always check your rate prior to when it’s time to renew.

Too expensive, not a lot of discounts.

Good service and knowledgeable employees.

Probably the cheapest insurance.

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.

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.

They said it would be cheaper, but it wasn’t. I’m looking for more affordable car insurance. I’m 72 years old and have a paid-off 2008 Dodge Nitro. I don’t drive much now—I just need it to be legal on the road. I’m a safe driver with no tickets or accidents.

Progressive takes advantage of having your card on file. Without speaking with you about the renewal, they charged you twice what you were paying, so avoid them at all costs.

Rates seem high for seniors who drive low miles and don’t use their car every day.

Very unhappy with their quoting system! It feels like a bait-and-switch technique where they quote a very low rate, and then with each question, they raise the rate.

I was first given a lower quote, and it periodically increased even though I chose lower coverage.

Terrible—they were dishonest about posting rates and then increasing them.

Poor. It took weeks for an adjuster to decide whether we could repair the car.

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.

It’s still Progressive, and it keeps going up. Right now it’s $183. My husband just died, and I’m afraid they’re going to raise it again. I’m on a fixed income.

The quoted price is way too high.

I really haven’t had much customer service with the company, since I’ve had no claims in the over 3 years I’ve been with them. I’ve called twice to see about lowering my monthly rate, but unless I want to change my coverage, there’s 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 up to over $90 a month—this was with no claims at all. Now with my new car, the rate each month has gone up again. It was over $114 this last month, and I’ve only owned the car for 4 months.

HiRoad is my current and future insurance provider for auto and renters insurance. It’s the best value for the money for me.

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.

If you put in any claim, even just for glass, they will investigate you and find any way possible not to complete the claim.

Stay away from Progressive! I have never had a ticket or a claim, and my policy went up from $160 to $238 monthly for my wife and me. Every 6 months, it increased drastically. After getting 15 different quotes, I found that Progressive is the most overpriced auto insurance on the market. After getting a new policy with Liberty Mutual, the Progressive agent wanted to see if they could find me savings. Those should’ve been offered to me before I switched. Also, I got twice the coverage through Liberty Mutual for right at half the cost of Progressive and their minimum coverage!

I think it's pretty expensive. My advice to people looking for car insurance is to shop around first.

They keep raising my insurance despite having no violations, driving less than 50 miles per day, and my car being a 2013 model.

Too expensive, no flexibility, poor online experience.

Always increasing prices and has some poor excuse for doing it.

They need to offer more discounts and stop charging for things like driver accidents over 5 years ago, like driver forgiveness. Discounts should be better because of the primary carrier.

I had a minor fender bender and my rate went up over $100. I think that's way too much.

As with most mainline auto insurers, Progressive's rates are too high.

Just like any other company, they give you a rate then increase your next policy premium by about $120 each renewal period, even for being a perfect driver. They are not great.

Excessive rate for as little as I drive.

My car is getting older and sits most of the time, yet the premium goes up. I wish they would stop using veterans as a way to claim they give a good deal.

Too high-priced and refused to keep my son off my insurance policy when he doesn't have a driver's license or anything.

Much cheaper than Progressive!

Way too expensive for 6 months with minimum liability coverage. Hopefully, they do something to reduce my rate considering I'm also on SNAP benefits.

Decent coverage, but they took four hours and as many different companies to get me a tow, and spiked my rates through the roof for being in an accident.

Do not go with them. They will raise their rates every renewal.

I used Progressive for less than a month and will never use them again. They falsely advertised a deal just to pique one's interest. Then I talked to a sales representative and found out they had wrecks on my record that never happened. This was the result of them using a third party instead of the DMV.

Better customer service. Agent knowledge is much better than Progressive.
