    Do not trust Progressive with your car, your rental property, your boat, or anything else you value. They easily break their contract responsibilities, actively lie to their policyholders, and treat you like you are completely clueless when you call them out on it. I purchased a brand-new $80,000 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning for my mother. It was recently in a minor accident resulting in damage strictly to the front right bumper. I took the truck to ABRA Auto Body in Colorado Springs, who wrote an outrageous repair estimate of $34,000. Instead of doing their due diligence, Progressive immediately called to inform me they were declaring this $80,000 vehicle a total loss. Refusing to accept this lazy payout tactic, I took the vehicle to a second reputable body shop. Their estimate came back at $22,000—well below the legal threshold for totaling a brand-new $80,000 truck.

    Despite this objective proof, Progressive is dragging its feet, refusing to fix the car, and violating their duty to the policyholder. When you try to resolve these issues, their adjusters and representatives talk down to you and treat you with utter disrespect. They rely on delays and psychological exhaustion to force you into bad settlements. I am uploading photos of the minor bumper damage along with both conflicting repair estimates to prove how this corporation operates. I demand that Progressive honor their contract, pay for the repair at the correct shop, and compensate me for the severe delays. Avoid this company at all costs for ANY insurance product!

    In Arizona, my first experience to clear up information with Progressive was horrifying and disgusting. After an hour on the phone with a representative who was totally unable to assist me and ended the call by hanging up. I did go online again and happened upon the information I needed. My bill was paid (electronically) in the middle of May 2026. The representative for Progressive kept wanting to "get me caught up with my payments" and I felt the payments were taken out of my account electronically. I was right, the May 2026 payment was electronically made and no funds are/were due until the middle of June 2026. I am still uncertain if I need to make the payment or, are they going to withdraw from the account given to them. Ugh. I'm afraid I may have to do this again next month. My inclination is to find another insurance company because I DO NOT AND WILL NOT GO THROUGH THAT CONVERSATION AGAIN WITH PROGRESSIVE!!!

      They do not hold to their promise when it comes to covering your car rental when you need your car fixed… they come up with every excuse to avoid covering you while you loyally pay your premium every month.

      This has been a very long and frustrating process for me and my family. My claim was taken Feb. 25. it’s now May 22. My vehicle is still at the body shop. From aftermarket parts that don’t fit, to used damaged parts that don’t work! Progressive has taken the cheapest option available to fix my car. My car sits at the body shop fixed. Ready to be driven since the May 20th but Progressive have not paid the final bill as of May 22, I spoke with Jamie on the 21st and he assured me that he would have payment by the end of the day and that I would be able to get my car on the 22nd. Well today is the 22nd. Haven’t heard from him or anyone and it’s the memorial weekend so my family vacation plans have been cancelled. This is unprofessional and unacceptable. I hate this company!

      ***Consumer Fraud Company***. Just scroll down these Google reviews to read all these 1 star comments about this large scale fraud operation called Progressive. They engage in "steering" consumers to their "Progressive approved body shops" aka Direct repair shops so that the shop will do the exact sub-standard repair Progressive requests them to do. My son vehicle was struck from behind on an off ramp, the other driver admitted fault and was covered by Progressive. The very first adjuster quickly went out to look at damage to the rear of the vehicle, and stated they would have a body shop "just fill in the hole" on the plastic bumper. I advised that we would not do that, and we would take it to a body shop to have it properly inspected.

      We took vehicle to a wonderful, honest body shop, who is also an independent body shop, not a Progressive approved kickback business. The body shop inspected and confirmed the vehicle needed a new bumper and the exhaust repaired. A second Progressive adjuster then goes to the body shop, and requested the professionals to "just heat up the bumper, so it melts a little bit and then reshape it" because she once saw it done on a video. The body shop, Thank God... thought she was crazy and denied that request stating they would not ruin their reputation by doing such as substandard repair. Numerous phone calls and texts between myself and the adjusters and supervisors, half the time no response back, and Progressive agreed to replace the bumper, but refused to fix the exhaust, saying there was no evidence of the exhaust being damaged in the accident.

      My evidence was the exhaust was fine before the accident, and then the exhaust was rattling after the accident. The professionals as the body shop agreed it was damaged in accident, but Progressive still refused. In fact, stated that if we want to argue this point, they will just stop paying for the rental car we have. I have already filed a formal complaint with the NH Department of Insurance and will also be filing a complaint with the Attorney General's office reference the substandard repair tactics that violate state law that states repairs must be done to "pre-loss" conditions. Hopefully, state regulators can get a hold of this bully run business.

      Progressive was great until now... I took my 19 year old son off my policy back in September 2025 because he wanted to shop for his own policy instead of paying the difference being added to mine. Apparently Progressive reserves the right to put him back on the policy if he lives in the household period. It doesn't matter that he owns his own policy. It doesn't matter that he's not allowed to drive my car. I'm now shopping for a new insurance company. I'm hoping to find a company that I can purchase only what I actually need. I'd also like to work with a company that's not going to say and do one thing at one date and then all of the sudden do something else when there's no change or anything from that last time. That does not make sense to me. I like a company to be upfront so I can make an informed decision when purchasing.

      Don’t ever get Progressive insurance. They don’t do anything quickly. The third day of them not even going to get my vehicle to start the inspection. Then they have to send it to GAP. So when this is done, it will be around two ** weeks!?!? Are you kidding me right now?!?!

      Horrible! I can’t say how awful this insurance company is. My car is brand new and less than 10 days old and I get a crack in the windshield from a rock. They will not approve a factory windshield and will only approve an aftermarket windshield stating there are no known safety issues. The difference is more than my deductible! I will be getting new insurance.

      I was a customer of Progressive short-lived. I would rate them a minus five if I could. A total rip-off scam... I never had so much crap from a company. I paid them full six months then they sent me a cancellation letter stating I didn't report any drivers, as I am the only sole driver, so they sent me another letter with two of the names I never heard of.

      I called them to confirm who and how these names were on my record. They said I must report anyone driving or not to be put down as drivers. I told them my agent never asked me, and I gave them those that were in the house who were not drivers and had to argue they were excluded drivers so they said they would agree, but shortly, I got another text saying I was cancelled again. So again I had to go to the underwriters about it and explain it again that I had paid a premium to add these three non-drivers, and got him to admit that they added the stranger's name as their policy to get me to tell them who lived here otherwise, I would have to dispute these strangers. I call this full-blown blackmail...

      Anyways, he assured me it was their mistake, but they had just mailed me the cancellation refund check, and I needed to pay them within ten days or about. I wanted to be sure the check was legit because the web billing only stated a refund but not sent back by check, even though I had paid the initial payment via card... I told him I wanted proof of our conversation because it now was the sixth time I had to deal with the underwriters in a month's time, which my agent said he couldn't do. Poor excuse!!

      I told him to write up a reinstatement with no laps, and finally got the company to agree. Then, in this period, they kept threatening me to pay up, and mind you, they said I was paid till May 17, and that was my deadline. And then on the 19th, they said I owed them another sum, or they would report me to the collectors' agency, another blackmail. In the meantime I had sent off to the clue and reporting agency that they claimed got those mystery names, and the report was they could not find me period. Funny that I have carried insurance for 37 years with an excellent driving history. What a joke! So do NOT get yourself involved with this joke of a company... just because they promise you low fee coverage, they're full of every dirty trick you can think of.

      You will be very sorry for it.... Go to a legit and pay for the real deal. It's worth every extra penny to have a good insurance company who you can count on. I later learned that Progressive will either dump you when a claim comes up or will rob you three to five times higher the next round... Do yourself a favor and get a real insurance Company like American Family or State Farm.... I lost a lot of money and time and had a lot of frustration dealing with this fraudulent company.... Don't fall for it, it's a horrible insurance Company!!!! I would not recommend them to anyone!!!!!
