Progressive wants to charge me $700/year extra because my wife and I were hit by other drivers. We were not at fault, and our current insurance company didn't pay out any money, nor did they raise our rates. Progressive also does not accept "safe driver courses" unlike legitimate insurance companies. Progressive are a bunch of scammers and looks for every way to get more money out of you!

I have been with Progressive for many years now and my driving record has been absolutely spotless for the duration. Spotless for at least the last 10 years. Zero tickets, zero accidents, zero claims of any kind. About a year ago, I received a minor ticket ($60) for an illegal right turn. Issuing officer indicated the points should not reflect on my policy as it was not a safety violation, just a simple mistake (I didn't see the sign). Then recently, I was involved in a very minor accident. Less than $5k damages between the two vehicles involved. The accident was my fault. It was also a very low impact accident, about 5mph, no airbag deployment and no injury to either party involved. I filed the claim and had almost zero correspondence with Progressive. Non returned phone calls, phone calls with conflicting information (like where my car actually ended up for repairs).
My policy was up for renewal the following month. Keep in mind, until this point my record was SPOTLESS. I went online to print my new insurance I.D. card and noticed they had DOUBLED my premium!! I thought it was an error, so I called and was met with the most condescending, unprofessional customer service rep. He accused me of not reading the notice they sent out, which at that point I had not yet received. Then proceeded to tell me that my premium WAS in fact going to double due to this incident. I've paid into my policy for YEARS without so much as needing a tow. I get in my first accident in almost 10 years and my premium jumped from $167/mo. to almost $350/mo.!! WTF?! I was told that my safe driver discount didn't come into play at all... Apparently I am no longer a safe driver in their eyes.
I've paid thousands of dollars to my policy and then when it is time for them to hold up their side of the deal by paying for the repairs, they stick it to me again my doubling my rate on top of the deductible that I paid. I thought "Surely this was illegal". Guess not. Also, my policy has small accident forgiveness which I asked about and was told that small accident is anything $500 or less. Really?! Pretty sure it's next to impossible to get into any accident that causes less than $500 in damage. Labor alone would eat that up in a heartbeat. At any rate, I think their policy terminology is very misleading and even though they consider you a silver, gold or platinum member of their "Loyalty Club", there is ZERO loyalty on their part. Bottom line, they will fix your car, but the communication will be terrible and misleading and your premium will go up so high that most people in my income bracket (low-middle) won't be able to pay for it.
Unless you like Ramen. If that's the case then MAYBE you can have insurance through Progressive and still be able to eat. I could understand if I'd had multiple claims or infractions, but my record was pristine. Just be very wary of them. It all sounds good up front but when it comes time for them to do what we've been paying for, they will stick it to you and not look back. Terrible, TERRIBLE company. Please do yourself a favor and just buy your insurance someplace (any place) else. You'll thank me later. I promise. They're thieves. No regard for human condition whatsoever and they don't back up their claims. It'll all fall on you and it'll hurt.

Had a semi truck tire come flying at us driving down I-10. Damaged our new car. Progressive told us to drop the car off and insurance adjuster be there 24-48 hours. Our car has been sitting for almost a week. And when you call they are rude and don't give 2 cents. So after the car is fixed we will be looking for different insurance company. I suggest you all do the same. Out of here FLO.

My car broke down. I call roadside assistance, they said they have some one within an hour to tow my car. Hour passed by I called them again and said to give them an additional 15 mins, I said ok. About 10 mins later after the 15 additional time they called me (I guess it was the driver), and asked me a thousand and one questions about what happen to the car and so I told him the basic (I don't know anything about cars) then he said, "Ok hold on I'll give you a call back (which he never did)."
After he hung up someone else called saying that my order was cancelled and a new one was place because the driver had said he arrived at the location and he was unable to tow my car due to I was parked in the grass (which no one ever came to my location). I called the company again and they didn't know anything about the 1st order being cancelled they had to call the towing company to see what happen. I then asked to speak to a supervisor, after waiting 30 mins in line they said they were not available and they took my info. I asked when should I be expecting a call back from them she said in 2 business days. WTH is that? WORSE COMPANY EVER!!! I will be cancelling my policy... PLEASE GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE. DON'T WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE A JOKE!!!

On May 4th, I got on Progressive's website to figure out how to change our automobile policy. My husband and I had purchased a new (to us) car (2014 Ford Edge) and sold his old car (2008 Hyundai Sonata). I activated the live chat and asked the representative what I needed to do to replace the car on our policy. The representative, instead of suggesting I call to make the changes (something that a later representative told me I should have done - basically some "learn your lesson" advice), directed me to a particular place on the website.
I followed the instructions and proceeded through the process. Apparently, during the process, I did not add collision coverage (something that was on the 2008 Hyundai and is currently on the other two vehicles on the policy - a 2008 Ford Focus and a 2003 Ford Explorer). This was unintentional, as I did not even know this was a mistake I could make. After I made the changes, I followed up with an agent online to confirm the new payment amounts. Again, no mention of collision coverage was made.
On June 15th, we had a minor collision issue with tire tread on I-95. We called to make a claim. I spoke with three representatives that day. All explained, much to my surprise, that collision coverage was not on our policy for the 2014 Ford Edge, and all also stated that they found that extremely strange because it was on the old vehicle and the two other vehicles. We left the conversation that day with the promise they would look into the matter. Neither I, nor they, at that point knew what was going on. Everyone was confused by what the policy was showing.
The following day - could have been two days - a representative called me and told me they would not be offering coverage. As I had made the changes online and not on the phone (as directed by one of their agents) and not selected collision coverage, the vehicle would not be covered. Today, the conversation continues as I talk with yet another employee's supervisor.
In the midst of all this, after arguing about collision coverage, no one offered to add it to the policy. So, on June 21 when my husband and I went to drive home, he asked the question "so do we have collision coverage now?" Surely, after the calls and arguments over not having it they had added it, but to be safe I called to find out. Turned out that no - we still did not - and no one thought it would be important to direct us through the process to add the coverage. The agent I spoke with at that time tried to tell me the coverage would not go into effect for 5 days. I warned her that if something happened, we would be having a very different conversation.
As I continue to argue with Progressive about this issue, my thoughts are as follows. Though we were, at one time, pleased with the service we received at Progressive, it is clear that Progressive is going the route of so many large companies, favoring quality and speed in their service rather than taking the time to talk to and truly engage in customer care. At one point during my conversations with representatives, someone advised me to always call and to not do anything online. Another representative told me that it was too much to ask that a someone follow up with clients on policy changes made online.
Despite the fact that the actions I took were at the advice of one of their agents, they have taken great care to hang this entire conflict on the unintentional clerical error I made. As a customer, it saddens me to see companies no longer work with clients to rectify situations. As someone who has worked in sales and business, it shocks me to see a company as large as Progressive choose to win such a small battle in lieu of caring for and keeping a long term client.

You better be your own advocate on every aspect of the claim for Progressive, as we were asked to take our car to distant cities for Progressive's appraiser to look at it? You know our address from the file and the adjuster does not take that into consideration? We had to call continually and fight to get the proper replacement parts, matching existing. The relationship that insurance companies want to have is with the repair facilities so they can influence the repair costs!!! Terrible that we can't all have character and do what is right regardless of cost!!! Progressive Adjuster then lies and says the vehicle is ready when it was not!!! 2 days without a vehicle because we dropped off the rental on the way to pick up a car that was not finished!!!
You get what you pay for and Progressive is cheap for the wrong reasons. They will not cover what they need, provide sub par customer service, and employee people who will provide false information, while putting back sub par parts in the repair process, not restoring you to pre-loss condition!!! Buyer beware, and the insurance companies complain it is the litigious society while in fact they are in part to blame!!!

I just find out my insurance rates went up while trying to renew my auto insurance. Imagine putting at fault and paying other driver without you knowing until the expiration date of your insurance. I got nervous and call Progressive Insurance right away but it was sad to see how many unprofessional people work at Progressive. An insurance claims representative put me at fault for an accident and raised my rates without my knowledge. Except for the claims representative's supervisor who seemed to be helpful though still defending Progressive, all I talk to are disrespectful and full of lies especially the claims representative who so many times lied to me for no reason. They are so ignorant that they don't respond to your request even after talking to them. I have a lot to post about Progressive in the coming weeks so that they will not fool others.

I moved to a new state and decided to switch my car and renter's insurance over to Progressive. After over a year of automatic withdrawals, and my policy coming to an end, I received a letter stating that my policy would not be renewed due to excessive claims. It turns out you cannot call for roadside service more than 3 time within a 6 month period. So if your car dies, you need help with a flat out in a new town on a busy street, or you lock your keys in your car by mistake... they'll take your money but your ** out of luck otherwise. This never happened to me with GEICO. Guess trying to save a buck and being persuaded by a cute commercial will get you nowhere fast.

On May 28, 2017, I was in Wal-Mart grocery shopping. While I was in there, a bad storm with 70 mile per hour winds came through and so I waited out the storm in the store. The next day I noticed damage all down the passenger side of my car. Filed a claim with Progressive. They are trying to say that it will be 4 different claims because of the way the damage looks. So I went to get video footage. Had to file police report. Police told me that Progressive Insurance should have gotten it.
The adjuster has been extremely rude because we have been trying to get the color of my back bumper corrected when I was rear ended in November. It was painted the wrong shade of white. Now our phone calls are being ignored by him and another phone number we were given always goes to voicemail. And now this damage that just happened to my car was out of my control and not my fault, but Progressive files it as my fault. It's already on my record. This was storm damage. Oh and I haven't gotten a check or the option to get my car fixed. Just me wasting half my day everyday trying to get something done. This company should not be in business.

On June 14th, while visiting relatives in Odessa, TX, my vehicle was caught in the middle of a major hail storm. I filed a claim the next day and was told, "we are working on your claim". I never received a call from a representative until Monday, June 19th, while I was at the dentist. I called immediately afterward and was told an adjuster would be out to evaluate the damage on my vehicle on July 3rd. That is almost three weeks from the date of the incident. Since my vehicle is not operational due to a badly broken windshield, I will be without the use of it for at least a month since the incident.
For five years, I had not made one single claim until last month when a big raccoon ran out in front of me on the highway and damaged my bumper and lower grill. The total bill was $1600. Of that, I was responsible for two thirds because of my deductible. For those five years, they gladly took my money for providing coverage that I never used until last month for the first time. Now, they pull this number of making me wait (according to them, a Diamond Level customer) for at least a month to use my car again. If this is how they provide service for a Diamond Level Customer, their CS model is in great need of help. I would not use Progressive, nor recommend it to an enemy, let alone a friend or acquaintance, and I speak from five years of experience with them.

When I decided to search for a new auto insurance policy because I felt I was paying too much with my previous auto company. Since I was now only going to purchase a policy for myself and my new 2017 vehicle, I was now excluding my twenty-something adult children, I wanted to shop around for the best coverage and price. I began searching 2 weeks before my old policy ended and found that Progressive had a better price quote for my vehicle. I went ahead and purchased the new policy with Progressive 12 days before the other policy ended. Those 12 days are now my penalty with Progressive! Because they claim that I in actuality DID NOT have 3 full years of coverage with my previous company, I could not have the discounted price for prior auto insurance coverage. They claim that since I did not have a COMPLETE 3 years policy with the prior company, than there was a 12 day lapse on non coverage with that company I am being charge More $$.
I explained that I in fact had purchased with Progressive ahead of time to make sure I had coverage, and that the agent did not advise me that NOT completing 3 full years with my previous company would be detrimental. Instead of viewing my coverage as me buying with Progressive 12 days prior till the other policy expired, they view it to THEIR FINANCIAL BENEFIT and say I was 12 days short of full 3 years of coverage. They wanted to know with what company I had been with the FIRST 12 DAYS of the 3 years policy beginning in 2014. I had to really dig up some old emails and found out it was PROGRESSIVE. Best advise, BEWARE with this companies quotes, they come back 4-6 weeks later and charge you more!!

I called Progressive Auto Insurance today to get a quote on a different car. I found out they are overcharging me 30%. I was speechless for once. I have a 21 year old rust bucket. Why would I need comprehensive and collision on a $400 vehicle that costs me $1000 a year? I don't know anything about insurance. I went online to make sure that I was not paying for something I don't need.
I have had Progressive Insurance for a few years now on and off. Starting a policy online which was a BIG MISTAKE. I tried to make sure to recheck for a lower price. There were none that I could find on the web page. I selected the bare minimum policy that had collision and comprehensive? Progressive calls that the minimum package of three different options... Bad, Worse, and Oh Crap!

I was flood and need a tow at 9 pm EST, I call Progressive right away. They told me the tow would be there in 40 minutes. After 45 minutes I called to check in on my tow. They sent the tow to the wrong location and then assigned another tow to my location, another 40 minutes. At 10:45 I called back and they said, "Oh hmmm that doesn't seem right. They still showing you at 40 minutes to an hour, let me send you another tow and see if that helps." Another 2 hours goes by... still no tow. Finally long story short I got my tow at 3 am and had to be at work at 5 am. I was covered in dirty sewer water for 6 hours and not only did I get a halfhearted sorry they still charged me for the towing. You can consider my policy will be canceled. Going to GEICO now since they got other people out very quickly and when my battery died they helped me out.

On 04/07/2017, I was legally parked and victim of hit and run. I was provided a video and eyewitness to incident. I have a police report and obtained insurance information on driver (I had plate # from video). I sent info to Progressive (claim #**). They told me that someone will contact me by end of next business day. I never received a call and for the next few days I called many times and received the same vm "please leave message for CT and I will get back to you by next day". Then I pretended that I don't have a complaint # when I called and the operator transferred me to the same voice mail.
I called again and someone said that she just pulled the driver's information. I called once more and another person said that they are waiting to obtain the driver's info. On June 15, I received my first reply from CT - It says "Sorry for the delay but we can't find any info - insurance, policy # or plate #" (these were the first things that they received). This is not only ridiculous but a shame for a company to treat people with so much contempt. And they are paid for this.

I had Progressive insurance for over a dozen years (Emerald status) and my wife also had insurance on her company vehicles for several years. We have both had significant problems and I would not recommend Progressive to anyone and will furthermore go out of my way to warn my friends and relatives to avoid using them.
My wife had insurance on two buses and a minivan that were used in her daycare business. Never had a claim on any of them and whenever she sold the minivan she called to drop the insurance on minivan. Later, one of her drivers had an accident in one of the buses and whenever she went to report the claim, the Progressive representative told her that she had verbally cancelled the insurance on the buses too. My wife challenged this allegation and was told the money had been refunded to her account, but if you have a business with literally hundreds of payments a month, overlooking a small refund of this nature is easy to do. She was told that they had the call recorded and whenever she requested to hear it, she was told it was unavailable.
In any event, the claim was not paid and fell upon her business to an amount in excess of $28,000. She was very upset and wanted me to cancel the coverage I had too, but since I had never had a claim, I had never had a problem. Funny how that works with an insurance company, or at least Progressive. In 2016 there were several claims under the policy I had, one because a window glass was broken, one because one of the cars was flooded and one caused by a collision (other driver at fault but uninsured). My policy rate at the end of the term was significantly increased and I elected to go to another insurance company. As it turns out, Progressive had increased my rate on the previous six months coverage because they added another driver (my stepdaughter) to the policy without ever speaking with me for if I would have known this, I would have told them she would not be allowed to drive the car anymore.
So, when I called with the dispute, they basically said, "Tough, we sent you an email" and then they turned the account over to collection. So now, as I pay the collection company almost $500, after probably paying them close to $40,000 over the years, I truly feel that they should be paying me (or my wife) $28,000 instead. In addition, whenever I had the claim for the car being flooded, it was my wife and I who had to take the car to a garage, and then to another garage to have it checked, then there were some other stupid deductions from the payment (to my daughter, the owner of the car). If we billed Progressive at our normal billing rates for the time it took us to get the claim paid, Progressive would owe us an additional $1,200, and yet, it is me that is paying. My statement to anyone considering Progressive is, use them only if you expect to never have a claim!!!

I was previously with Progressive for over 10 years with no problems. I left for a few years and just returned the beginning of this year. After 6 months with no issues I got my renewal notice and my rates were going up. When I called the company, a woman told me it was just "cost of doing business in my state." When I complained she said she would have to transfer me to someone who was licensed... Who was I speaking to now? I asked her about the process for cancelling my policy and she said I would at anytime and receive a prorated refund.
I called back a second time and spoke to another rep who reiterated that. I went ahead and cancelled my policy. She didn't even care to ask why I was. My refund comes and it's super low considering I had just made a payment. Turns out there is a $50 charge for an early cancel. Contacting Progressive their customer service doesn't seem to think it's a problem that no one mentioned this as it is listed in the contract I signed with them. I get that it's included but if I ask about cancelling and your people don't tell me about a fee.. that is a very purposeful omission and unethical. I will never use these guys again.

I was with Progressive years ago and made the unfortunate mistake of going back. My son was sideswiped at an intersection and the scenario came down to he said she said. Our insurance company sided with the other driver! Her story was bogus and she lied to the officer. (Worth noting, my husband arrived at the scene within minutes and the other driver told him the truth, but my own insurance company said he was BIASED. So my husband AND my son are liars?? Please.)
The damage to both cars could support either story, but my own insurance company decided to support HER. I asked for the evidence and they didn't have anything that would support her claim and disprove my son. I would've even settled with equal liability! I am so done with this insurance company.

So for the past almost 3 days I have been broke down on US 26 in Oregon (MP22.5). My steering failed. I need a tow of which 55 miles I have to pay out-of-pocket. I have full coverage and towing through Progressive Insurance. I have been on the phone since 8am PDT today. I have talked with Progressive Towing more than 10 times today. My only accomplishment in each call was either to begin a NEW CALL or CANCEL the call.
So one must wonder why would I cancel a call I just placed? Well, here's why: Once you finally get to a call taker, and then go through about 12 minutes of questions comes MY OPPORTUNITY to pay over-mileage at $2.00 per mile (a very reasonable price). But, there is a catch. If the call-taker has to leave the line to check on something or whatever, when they come back on the phone the over-mileage rate is $5.00 per mile. And, when you ask about the $2 rate? The response is "that was only a one-time-offer." The $2 is by card, but if you have to call back or they leave the line, bend over folks, it's $5 per mile and you have to pay the towing company rather than paying Progressive on their one-time offer. Thanks Progressive, with my full coverage and all, for leaving me on the side-of-the-road, 27 miles from the nearest town, running out of food, fuel, water. I have a 24ft Motor Home, as I enter Day 3 - Waiting for Progressive.

They LOVE to cash checks, but they HATE to issue checks. It is so easy and tempting to enroll as a client, but once they have your money, they are DONE with you. I've dealt with a lot of customer service departments over the years: Progressive Insurance's customer service department is a sick joke. They have one prescribed answer to give. They don't listen to their clients and, worse of all, NOBODY at Progressive cares anything about the client and reasonable needs. They give their routine answers about "This is how we do it and there will be no change."
They are not Progressive at all; they are Regressive! These unprofessional people are pathetic. I bet every single one of them hates the company they work for. DO NOT fall for their sales pitch. You WILL regret it. I'm taking my money, my cars, my home, and my life and running back to rational, professional companies as fast as I can. I rue the day I gave "Regressive Insurance" a try.

My experience with Progressive has been horrific and emotionally draining. I was hit by one of their insured's on 5/24/17 resulting in physical damage to my vehicle. The adjuster for Progressive over inflated the estimate and wanted to total the vehicle. However, they added repairs to the estimate unrelated to the accident and damages to the vehicle that did not exist. The reason for the review is to inform consumers that Progressive will inflate and falsify an estimate to prevent them from paying to repair a vehicle.

I was given a quote online. I am using a VA loan and I needed to be sure certain things were included so I called to follow up. They asked me the age of the roof of the home.

They told me that if I accept their quote and their inspector came after the fact and decided the roof was older than they liked then they would increase my insurance premium even if I had already started paying the original premiums. I asked how I could possible verify the age of the roof and they said it didn't matter. That this was just their policy. Then they said if I thought this was unfair they would refer me to someone else. How can anyone verify the age of their roof without a receipt?

A few days later my coverage lapsed and I was hit by another driver. Their incompetence and misinformation caused me to pay for the accident out of pocket. STAY AWAY. I today attempted to cancel my policy but they refused to cancel it and provide any cancellation in writing and instead informed me that by law they keep the policy open for 90 days in case the driver changes their mind for coverage. I stated I absolutely will never use them in the future.

They got right to it. All had to do was just make one phone call. They took care of the rest. They didn't ask questions and accusatory way of speaking. They respected me as a female and acted like I was the most important thing at the time.

I submitted a quote online which was easy to do, however the very first question they ask is, "Is your vehicle financed?" which I replied, "Yes." This would lead anyone to believe that you would be getting additional coverage over basic liability, I submitted my driving record and information regarding my driving history. I submitted it and was surprised at the savings, I even called a representative to confirm it was correct. The Rep, or "insurance agent" said, “As long as you (me not being an insurance agent) put all of the information in correctly then yes that is the correct premium.” I buy the insurance and I'm happily driving around with my two new cars and two kids thinking that we're covered with full coverage.
Well I get into an accident and I find out that I only have liability and property and they even laugh at me on the phone when I explain how this all happened. I would never recommend them even if they were the best price for FULL COVERAGE simply due to their customer service and absolute disregard for paying customers well-being. They would sacrifice someone’s safety, well-being, career and life to get a monthly payment out of them regardless of how shady they have to be to do it!

After I confirmed that I was going to actually have my car fixed. They are now claiming that my car was hit twice while parked. They are telling me that a tree had fallen on my car and someone backed into as well. They have made this into 2 separate claims. With 2 deductibles. Their interpretation of what happened is impossible. A tree could not have fallen on my car with where it was parked and there is no evidence that any tree had fallen on my street. It does look like a truck with a load of brush on it backed into my car. Progressive's staff has been argumentative and unwilling to work with me. No one from Progressive has even come out to my house to see where the accident happened. If they had. They would see that a tree could not have fallen on my car.
I filed a complaint with the insurance commissioner. Their response was to call my insurance broker and talk ** about me. They told my broker that they are going to drag this out until my rental reimbursement runs out. They also went on to tell my broker that my filing a complaint with the insurance commissioner will do nothing, that the I.C. cannot make them do anything. All my filing a complaint did was piss them off. My car being hit while parked is exactly why one has insurance. Progressive does not take care of their customers. They do not provide the peace of mind knowing you do have insurance. All Progressive does is give you a hard time and inconsistent answers.

I recently received notice. They would not be renewing my policy after being a customer since 2012 because I used roadside assistance too many times within a 3 year period. When I spoke with an underwriter he was completely fine with dropping me stating using it counted as a "claim." Why would they make a customer pay for the service, but penalize them for using it? I hope a class action suit gets started and they have to pay back everyone who has paid roadside assistance fees.

A person that has a Progressive insurance policy hit my car, my son was driving it. No big deal. Accidents happen. But then I had to deal with Progressive! Going down the road my lane car backs out of driveway, slam on breaks, they hit my car... Progressive then says, "Oh you didn't try to avoid the accident enough so you're 20% liable!" Seriously! Awful insurance company! No apologies. Just try to blame the other driver so they don't have to pay all of the damage. Believe me we'll fight it! At least the guy that hit my car felt bad, took responsibility and apologized. Too bad his insurance company is awful.

I was rear ended at a red light by someone who decided to lay head on steering wheel. The vehicle was insured by Progressive. I contacted my carrier & Progressive. My carrier closed it since the other driver was at fault & had no damage. After a week Progressive said I had no proof their customer had rear ended me & accused me of filing a false report since they hadn't been able to contact driver. I called police dept. Got accident report. Emailed it to Progressive.
After a few days Progressive called back said they still couldn't pay for my vehicle because they hadn't spoken to her. I texted number from police report another occupant from vehicle called who was suppose to be owner cussed me out & threatened me said I had all info I needed. Progressive was finally able to speak to driver after that call but she refused to give him info on policyholder so they can verify the vehicle wasn't stolen. Progressive says since they can't verify it wasn't stolen they can't pay my claim. So now I have to pay my deductible & let my insurance sue the driver.

Progressive Insurance tripled my rates after canceling a policy and requoting for a renewal a month later. My car is a old Ford Focus 2003 leased through a Lean Agency. A month prior before canceling after paying in full, I was paying around $120 a month and it was that way for a year. Being a customer for 4+ years with Progressive Insurance, coming back to quote a new price after canceling a policy, they wanted me to pay $348 for the same car, with the same exact policy. Talking to a rep, they refused to tell me why and abruptly hung up on me after telling me "We are sorry we couldn't provide you a better rate, goodbye". Watch your bank account with this company, they have a habit of doubling or even tripling rates without reason and will never tell you the reasoning behind it.

I have been a customer of Progressive for over 10 years. They no longer suited my insurance needs so I switched companies. Hidden in my refund was a $50 cancellation fee. This fee was not stated during the session in which I canceled my coverage. I had to do the math on my refund to find that they were shorting me 50 bucks. I have never been in an accident or used my insurance for anything, other than needing it to legally operate a vehicle. This is unfair and honestly a slap in the face. After 10 years of patronage and the thousands of dollars given to them over that time, to keep $50 because their services no longer suit my needs is just plain wrong.

The only reason I gave this company one star was because you had to in order to leave a review. They have the worst customer service and will treat you well only if you never have to call them. The rates are extremely high and if I would have read any of these reviews before becoming a customer, I would of never been a customer of Progressive. They are definitely not creating customers for life. Before choosing an insurance company read their reviews and base it off of reputation. Progressive only wants your money, they care NOTHING about their customers. I filed a hail damage claim over a week ago. The adjuster left and said she would send me an estimate. Of course I never heard back from her, I called in and spoke to an agent who said he'd send me an estimate via email, and a check should arrive within 5-7 days, of course neither ever happened.
I called back a third time and got a different story, of course, from someone saying that they needed proof that there was no previous hail damage from the previous owner, which has absolutely NOTHING to do with me or the owner of the car now. Going into week 2, I've spoken to rude supervisors, customer service agents who hang up and act like if they lose one customer they are not hurting. If you have the option to deal with another insurance company, DO THAT, and run from Progressive. THEY DO NOT PAY CLAIMS, they give you the run around and that is what insurance is for.

I decided to look into changing Auto insurance & maybe bundling it with homeowners. I have had 2 accidents in the past 12 years, both not my fault, and the 2 at-fault drivers had Progressive. I had a very positive experience with Progressive both times so I thought maybe I'd check on it and get a lower rate in the process. I went to Statewide about 2:00 this afternoon & the door was locked. I looked at the hours sign & they should have been open. Then I noticed a sign that said "back in 10 minutes" so I decided to wait. Then I noticed someone inside so I just figured they forgot to remove the sign. I tried the door again and this man got up and came to the door. He just stuck his head out the door and said, "May I help you?" I did a double-take. I hadn't really wanted to stand out on the sidewalk and negotiate my insurance. I told him I wanted to inquire about insurance.
He said "We're in a meeting right now. Come back in an hour." So what should I do? I could go home 1/2 hour away thru the construction on John Young, then turn around & drive back, or I could drive around for an hour, or I could just stand outside their door for an hour, or I could sit in my car for an hour. I decided I didn't need Progressive after all. Apparently, they treat the "non-Progressive" accident victims better than they do their own insureds. Guess it's to keep us from suing them or hoping to win us over as future customers. If this is the way you treat possible future customers, I don't want anything to do with it.

Progressive denied any fault and would not pay for a rental while car was in shop. Customer service was RUDE and suggested that I was making a false claim about damages. After paying out of pocket for damage caused by Snapshot, Progressive dropped our coverage for "filing a claim early in our coverage" which was a claim for damages caused BY THEIR PRODUCT.

In December 20th 2016, I was rear ended while at a stoplight. The other person was distracted and driving between 35 & 45 MPH when she hit me. I was able to drive away from the accident after the police report. Her car's front end was completely destroyed. My trailer hitch went through her radiator and into her engine block. We both carried Progressive Insurance and within 2 days Progressive had lined up repair services for my car and rental. It was quick and easy with no aggravation on my end. 1 week later and $5000.00+ in repairs to my small SUV it was ready and looked great.
2 months later I started having Transmission issues that resulted in having my Transmission replaced. After having my Transmission replaced the repair facility said my drive shaft was bad and needed to be replaced. I took my car to a driveline specialist who repaired the driveshaft. They had asked if I was in a accident recently because the driveshaft had a slight bend and out of balance. I asked if my driveshaft and transmission could have been damaged in the accident and without hesitation they said most certainly it was. When I picked up my car after getting the driveshaft repaired I was told that my SUV Transfer Case (PTU Unit) needed repair and could hear a grinding noise. My car is a AWD and has a Transfer Case/PTU Unit.
All 3 issues are in the driveline and failed all at the same time after the accident. It did not even dawn on me when I had the transmission replaced that it could have been part of the accident. Even the driveshaft issue and now a Transfer Case. I called Progressive to see what could be done as I was already $3000.00 in the hole and another $1000.00 for a transfer case in the future. Progressive insurance called me back 2 days later and said my "Claims Representative" Would call me back within a day.
1 day later I received a call from someone other than my Progressive Claims Representative who immediately was on the defense of "Not being the problem" and started talking technical about why my accident did not cause the problems I was having. Going on about Uni-body designs and impacts, shockwaves running through my car.
He both started arguing and the phone call was getting heated. I told him I have 3 different repair shops who will state the damages I had are accident related. He said that I should arranging to have Progressive's Expert mechanics look at the damage in my driveline and they would make a decision. I told him I had the repairs done (but not the transfer case) so there is no damage anymore. He told me I broke my service contract by having my car serviced at a non Progressive repair facility. Even though I had no idea this was accident related. We started yelling back and forth and he said "You know what. Call me in my office when you cool down." That was 5 days ago and I still do not know who he was or even have a number for him.
I called a good personal friend of Mine who works in the IT department at Progressive to see if he could track down the person I spoke to. After explaining my issues he said "Good Luck! We (Progressive) won't cover the extra damage because the other person who hit you was also covered under Progressive" and they (Progressive) couldn't recover the money. It is consider lost profits. He also said Progressive's expert repair shops will not allow after the fact damages be covered because the repairs shops get good business from Progressive and they will always side with Progressive in fear of losing the business. In my region (Cleveland, Ohio) Insurance repair shops are in abundance and all fear insurance companies and will always side with them.

I just became a new customer of Progressive. I had to switch from out of state since my previous company did not do policies in Florida. I had purchased a new vehicle in our previous state to make the move to Florida and I had to have a policy written in our new state. I had to get this new car off the lot and made a quick call to Progressive knowing that they offered policies in Florida. I called in to get insurance on the new vehicle to get it off the lot. I told Progressive that I had not had time to comparison shop and while I hoped that I was going to be able to keep my business with them I was going to check the competition. So they gave me a quote, I paid my first monthly payment in full as well as adding some renter's insurance for a new apartment.
Within a few days I did my comparison shopping. Found a company that was significantly cheaper and decided to go with them. I had only had 30 days of coverage with Progressive. Once I called and cancelled the Progressive policy switching to Geico which was a much more price effective company they did billed me an additional $50 because I had not completed my 6-month term with them. Once I receive this additional $50 bill I called in to find out what was going on hoping that a representative would be able to help me with this unexpected cost. That did not happen.
I additionally spoke with a supervising agent who told me that when you start with Progressive they automatically drop your first month's bill by $50 as essentially a bait and switch tactic to get new business. Then I asked for the name of the supervising agent I was on the phone with and the agent who had wrote my policy because of this $50 cost was never at any point disclosed to me. To then find out that Progressive is actively in the practice of these bait and switch policies that they will not even give you the last name of the agent who wrote your policy.
On a side note I work as an insurance agent in the state of Kansas when I first graduated college. All of my customers always had my business card and a direct number for me. Additionally as a customer of Country Insurance in the state of Illinois for the last 12 years I always knew the first and last name of my insurance agent Curt ** who is a wonderful man in Decatur Illinois and always had a direct number to him as well.
So as a piece of advice I strongly recommend against any business with Progressive seeing as the core structure of their company lacks transparency and professional Standards. The only information I was given were the 1st names of the 2 agents I spoke with the supervisor was Jonathan employee ID number ** and the woman who wrote my policy was Marissa employee number **. Miss Marissa withheld information but is just a puppet of the master puppeteer which is the overall company of Progressive who clearly uses bait-and-switch tactics to recruit new business. While $50 is an insignificant amount of money I am a true believer in businesses always being transparent and having integrity behind closed doors. Progressive does not meet that standard.

I have a small trucking company and was insured through progressive. There was only 2 of us. My dad and myself. Dad pulls a flatbed and runs long distance. He usually hauls rock from Oklahoma to Texas and post from Oklahoma to South Dakota then picks up hay to bring back to Oklahoma. Myself, I only run about 50 mile radius. I'm working a local job hauling gravel in a end dump. Anyway we had our policy for 1 year and 8 months. And now this is what I am looking at.
I turned in 1 claim. When I was working a job 30 miles from home I raised my end dump in the air, dumped the load of sand I had on and got it unloaded. Then about the time I just put my hand on the knob to set the trailer back down there was a big gust of wind that turned me over. It wasn't my fault. It was just a freak deal. Progressive paid $16,000 for the loss of the trailer.
My dad was in Texarkana hauling fertilizer. He stopped at a truck stop to go to bed and another driver who apparently wasn't paying attention drag his trailer across the front of my dads truck and tore the hood off. Turns out this guy was also insured through progressive so Progressive didn't want to cover it because they had nobody to fight with. Well they basically told us tough luck. That they weren't going to cover it. Dad got mad, threatened them with a lawsuit and they finally agreed to pay to fix the truck. But were going to count it against us as our fault. So we fought with them again and once again threatened a lawsuit. It was the other guys fault. He could have his insurance jack up. Finally after having the truck tore up for 3 months they finally fixed our truck and supposedly put the fault on the guy who drag his trailer across the hood.
I still don't know how this happened. So it was memorable day weekend my parents were going to the lake and taking the camper trailer. My dad blew a tire on his camper and it messed up the floor of the inside. So this is his personal camper trailer. It has absolutely nothing to do with my trucking company. He turned it into his personal insurance company which is a completely different company and somehow progressive picked it up and took it upon themselves to cover something that is not on their policy and said it was our fault and added points to our record. We never did get the camper fixed either. So fast forward to today.
Today: my commercial insurance policy was about $18,000 for the year which me and my dad split per month between the two of us. They are now wanting $47,000 for the year to renew the policy. There is no way anybody can afford a policy like that that would be over $3,000 a month for insurance. We have argued with them for the last 2 months and got progressive to send a statement admitting that the end dump was not my fault, and admitting that the old man dragging his trailer across the hood of dads truck was not dads fault, and they took the camper that should have never been on there off. However because they still paid out the best they can do is $43,000 for the year. So last night my insurance expired. I can't afford that high dollar crap so thanks to progressive I am out of business now.

Right after getting the estimate I called our rep and he said he was mailing the check right away. A week later there was no sign of any check. We called the rep an average of 15 times to no answer. When we finally managed to speak to him, he said he was going to mail the check that day. We said no and decided to drive the 20 something miles to the Progressive office to get the check in person.
We were also told to go to an auto body shop and call him from there to get a rental. Called quite a few times. No answer. Called the 1800 number and was redirected to Progressive MA since we have a MA phone numbers. We were redirected to Progressive Florida - straight to voicemail quite a few times. A couple of times we didn't even get to voicemail before the call was dropped. After finally getting through and getting the rental arranged, we arrived at Enterprise to be told Progressive was only paying up to $25 per day (wouldn't cover a compact SUV). We drive a mid-size SUV.
I called Progressive again to ask about this. After being redirected from MA to FL and managing to speak to someone in the Florida office, the representative not only indirectly accused me of lying, but was passive aggressive, and said there was nothing she could do.

I looked that way directly to my right-hand side and there was nobody in my site division. So I started to creep out before moving into the lane of traffic to my right. I stopped because I saw there was a girl on a bike headed towards my car at a disturbingly fast speed. She hit the side of my car with the bike but not hard enough for her to fly over the hood of the car. I quickly got out of the car to see if she was all right and she said she was fine and she was concerned about something she had in a bag attached to the bike. She kept saying to me "I thought you weren't going to move your car."
I told her I've barely moved it because there was so much traffic and there was a blind spot to my right side. She said that she saw me but didn't slow down or stop and walk or bike across the street because she thought I would and that I saw her. Needless to say I quickly called the police and they also contacted an ambulance to make sure everybody was ok. At that very moment I called the police two people in a car pulled over and said they saw the whole thing and then I bolted out of the intersection and deliberately hit her and that I blew the stop. The passenger in that car claimed it was my fault and he was a man. The driver of that car was a woman and she said it was not my fault and disagreed with her passenger. The male witness was clearly disturbed and impaired either by drugs and liquor and was extremely violent. The woman in the car drove away and pulled over.
There were cars behind me and they saw the whole thing and claimed it was her fault not mine all in front of the police. The police issued citation for tickets because in their opinion it was nobody at fault and if anybody was at fault it was her for not getting off her bike and not walking it across the street. They said it was illegal for her to ride on the sidewalk and she was on the wrong side of the street.
A few weeks later and investigator from Progressive came to see me. She began an investigation and seemed that things were definitely in my favor. She told me things were very strange and that apparently the male witness that claimed he saw the entire event had some kind of strange relationship with the girl that hit me with her bike. Apparently they had been roommates in the past and had a previous history of insurance claims but she wasn't being completely transparent for legal reasons. However she said something was very strange about the entire situation and that it was most likely fraudulent. Months passed and I was completely confident that it was a fraudulent claim and that Progressive would stand by their client that was clearly being set up.
I received a phone call one afternoon months later by a gentleman that was in charge of settling the claim and that he made determination that the investigation came to the conclusion that they could not determine who is at fault and that the investigation was becoming very expensive. Therefore to avoid any further liability they chose to pay out a settlement of $800 or so dollars hence making me at 80% at fault.
Needless to say I was curious and very angry because my premiums tripled. Not only that but it is on my permanent insurance record for five years subject me to extremely high premiums and destroying my reputation. I told him that I was very disappointed that they didn't stick by me as a client of six years with no history of accidents that I was at fault. I don't know why they just didn't drop me as a client and leave it at that. There should be a law against reporting an incident like this to an agency that makes it public knowledge to other insurance companies when they don't know the details! Progressive could have simply paid out the claim and reported there was no fault and that would've saved me thousands of dollars in premiums and my reputation.
I think it should be illegal for insurance companies can decide who is at fault and who's not. That should be for a court of law to decide based on the information that was discovered and the police report. Not by somebody in an insurance office sitting behind a cubicle deciding the financial fate of a loyal client. This girl apparently made no threat to sue the insurance company and said that she was fine according to her doctors. It is just another example how Progressive Insurance tries to rip off the clients and avoid any litigation regardless of who's at fault. Do yourself a favor and avoid doing business with Progressive!

I pay my insurance by the year. Their stupid automated system didn't understand I relocated and was in process of changing everything over Arizona. License, insurance, banking, social security, all of it. They didn't accept my Arizona driver's license or my voter id card or my bank statement or rental agreement or cable bill or phone bill...

After several phone calls and writing this review Progressive responded stating that the incident was no fault of mine and set up the repair and rental car. Unfortunately it took daily persistence to get this issue resolved.
Original Review: March 29, 2017
I was parked at a gas station to get air, an SUV backed into my Vibe and severely dented the drivers door. I called the police. He filled out an accident report and told me he could not issue the girl (who had her license for 2 weeks) a citation because it was private property. The 2000 SUV was not damaged, and the mother filed a claim with Progressive. Since we both had Progressive coverage I was told by my agent things should move swiftly. Not so. I called the adjuster on a Friday. My call was not returned till Tuesday. I was then told they were not able to reach the other party on the phone and could not move forward until they heard back.
I pay my premium every month and have been a customer since 2015. I was told I could just pay the $500 deductible and get my vehicle repaired. My car was parked, this girl backed into a parked car, while I was frantically honking at her. Clearly I was not at fault, but I am expected to pay $500. I thought the reason I have insurance is that they not only protect my interests but pay for damages when I am not at fault. I cannot wait for my policy to expire. I will never return to Progressive, nor will I ever recommend it to others. They do not stand behind you as a customer. Very disappointed in such a large company that advertises as being number one.

Where do I even begin? I've had Progressive for about two years. Never had an accident, always paid on time my coverage is for two vehicles, Full Cover. One, a Mercedes-Benz C350 Sports 2009 and a 2003 Mini Cooper Original Edition. Here's where my dilemma began - I moved to Anaheim, CA after a trip to Texas. I noticed a lot of vagrants around the area but they never bothered me.
About two months ago, I wake up to my car being completely keyed, scratched and hit with an object. I was not the only one but I was unaware of that at the time. There were 4 vehicles this occurred to. I naturally called the insurance company, and for fear of this to re-occur I had the vehicle locked up since I had nowhere to store it. I locked it up at a Body Shop that was recommended to me after asking my brother in law who is a mechanic - which I had then planned to use for my repairs.
This occurred on Feb 18, 2017. The shop called me the following day and notified me of additional damage that was overlooked by myself initially. I called my rep to advise of the additional damage to amend my claim and start an Audit with a field adjuster. Here is where Progressive shows how they progressively screw you. I was told the scratches on my door (deep with a nail or something very sharp) would be painted but the dent from the blunt object would not be repaired. HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? Paint the car but not fix the dents? Progressive then advised I would have to open a SECOND claim. Now, I have proof they only provided me with ONE CLAIM number originally. I was forced to open a claim for Comprehensive and one for Collision, mind you the vehicle was parked and the damage was indeed covered by comprehensive but they fought me on it.
It's about 6 weeks later, I still don't have my car. I've been taking the train to work. I am out a few hundred due to travel expenses for work and have no vehicle to top it off. It took them 6 ridiculous long weeks to get my vehicle fixed. But wait there's more!!! Here's the real kicker!!! Grab some popcorn, cause this is a comedy in a horror setting.
The vehicle is now a week out from being completed on repairs (was told 2 weeks ago) and they denied repairing my clearly cracked bumper because it had a previous scratch which I made them aware of when I obtained their insurance and the car was reviewed for coverage. Their point of view, they are not liable to cover previous damage to a car they agreed to insure at the current state which I presented originally even though the vehicle reviewed additional damage now under their Policy? Wow, never heard of that, but let's move on. I get a call, I am told - "Hey, your vehicle is going to be done by this weekend" That was two weeks ago, didn't happen. I get another call last Friday, "Hey your vehicle is going to be done this weekend! But to make you feel better, we are waiving one deductible".
I was happy for a second. Then I am told, "So you only owe $1,000 dollars." "Excuse me, for what? For 1 deductible" I asked. And I'm told, "no. For two deductibles because we waived one of the 3 deductibles." This is where it gets confusing. Not only did the adjuster take every PENNY of the overlap the shop had and hoped to use towards repairing my bumper. They tacked on another deductible when I called to amend my initial comprehensive claim, but failed to advise or issue a new Claim number under Comprehensive. I was never given a letter, notified, advised or informed in any way or manner of a second deductible being put in place for comprehensive. It makes NO sense that I would want to pay double deductible for the same CLAIM!!!
This an absolute disaster and NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THIS INSURANCE TO ANYBODY!!! These guys are thieves! I am out a total of $1,560 dollars, also paid insurance for my car while it's locked up. Add another $440 to my tally for these two months of insurance while my vehicle is being repaired. I had to move from the property I was living at due to fear of my cars being messed with. I don't know anybody here. I work all day and come home at night. This was just people with nothing better to do messing with our property. I felt so protected and didn't have to worry about a thing. Well, my only worry now is to cancel this ASAP!
I am not done with them yet. I plan to pursue it with their Customer Service department. I want proof where I was told I was paying 3 deductibles. Freaking thieves!!! Can't stand to think they consider themselves top tier insurance company. If you want quality service, got to Farmers Insurance. I've had them in the past, never had an issue and plan to go back immediately. I WOULD LOVE for someone with Progressive to reach out to me. I'd love to hear their wonderful stories of how I should feel better by not asking for my money back or getting overcharged.

They'll try everything to screw you out of paying. I was the victim of a hit and run by one of their policy holders. Three months later and I still can't get my vehicle repaired. They keep telling me either "We can't reach our policy holder". Then it was "We can't get the police report". I have the police report showing it was a hit and run.

I have had one bad experience after another with Progressive auto insurance. They are absolute crooks including failure to pay me back my deductible when another driver hit me and was determined to be at fault. While in a car rental I was hit while my car was under repair for first accident again NOT at Fault. Progressive still hasn't paid Enterprise for the accident where I was absolutely not at fault. I am disgusted that there are not better regulations for these scam auto insurance companies. In addition they are stating they cannot insure my van because they believe I use it for business when in fact I have a futon in it and I travel and camp with it. The absolute worse insurance. Failure to pay claims. Failure to do anything correct. I am following with a complaint to the State of California.

I am a Progressive Insurance customer. I had called for roadside assistance to Progressive as part of my contract allows. Progressive sent R&R towing out of El Cerrito CA #193171. The driver proceeded to damage my vehicle and attempt to steal my stereo, robbed me and stole my jack out of my trunk. Progressive now says it's not them it is their contractor Agero Roadside, a company I have no contract with and did not call for roadside. I had no ability to research Agero. I had no idea they were the contractor for Progressive or whether they dispatched scary felons routinely to roadside call such as they did with me.
My contract was through Progressive and it is Progressive that should pay out my claim to have my vehicle repaired from the damages caused by their AGENT. A little FYI - The driver threatened me and then told me to not tell anyone he had stolen from me or damaged my car because he knew where I lived from the tow paperwork so essentially he was provided an easy mark by Progressive Insurance; a woman on the side of the road alone. The picture shows my missing speaker he tore out and the empty area inside the spare tire where my Mercedes original brand jack and flares used to be located. I can't post the picture of the money but he took money too.

So I bought a car in October and almost immediately tried to start my car insurance through Progressive. I got the first quote and everything looked fine, so I called in to pay and get everything started. They couldn't find the damn quote!!! So after starting yet another quote the same thing happened... Twice. Every time I got a quote and went to approve it, they couldn't find it and had to start another, which takes some time. Five months later they finally figure it out and get the insurance finalized. Mind you this is FIVE MONTHS later. Obviously the credit union I go through won't just allow you to go without insurance, so they piled on their insurance too, doubling the monthly payments of the car. So I called my credit union, the forced insurance company, and Progressive to straighten this mess out, and basically all eyes fall on Progressive.
So after spending what felt like days on the phone going back and forth about their mistake, the supervisor tells me for the twentieth time that they have no clue what they are doing and can't help me even a little. So here I am, stuck with double the car payments I was making, and still paying for insurance on top of the forced insurance price. So would I ever recommend Progressive Insurance to anyone? Only if I had a death wish upon them.

My parked car was hit by a driver who was charged with DUI while driving an Avis rental car with Avis insurance. The Progressive field staff who works with the auto body shop was excellent in getting the estimate done quickly. My primary contact regarding my claim contacted me within a day of filing, he indicated he was waiting for additional information and the police report. I offered him a copy of the police report, the following day, he never responded. I then sent a copy of the report to the Progressive field claims adjuster along with pictures of my car at the time of the incident. I have sent over 18 emails along with numerous phone messages asking for progress status as to the claim and getting my deductible reimbursed.
After 18 days I was told Progressive does not have a copy of the police report and has requested one from my local police department. Obviously this is incorrect and forwarded another copy to them for the pertinent information on the driver and driver’s insurance company. I’m out my $1000 deductible and have no idea when or if I will be reimbursed for something that I did not have any part in whatsoever. I find this lack of customer service inconceivable. Progressive wants my monthly payment on time then I should expect the same from them.

I was traveling home from a business meeting. During the drive home, I drove right into an ice storm. My car slid into a full spin and then off the interstate. After checking everything & assessing that there was no visible damage, I called Progressive to arrange a tow truck to get the car out of the ditch. From the onset, the Progressive rep was looking for reasons not to assist. Telling me that if I was more than 100 feet from the road side I would have to pay for the service myself. After 10 mins of assuring her that I was in a reachable position, they dispatched a wrecker to assist.
Once the car was on the road, I decided to take the next exit just to get a better look at everything. It was then that I realized I had busted my radiator. I contacted Progressive again to see what needed to be done. The claims rep was not helpful. Again, we went back to all of the reasons my car wouldn't be covered. I was told that if I hadn't "hit" anything my policy would not cover the repair. After stressing to him that I was more than 400 mile from home and on a Friday evening, he decided to look into the option of just towing the car home. He said he would get the estimates and would call me back. He never called me at all.
I called to check out the status and was told by another rep that the tow would cost $900. I informed this second rep that the previous one had indicated that they may be able to pay for the tow or, at best, part of the cost. Once again, I was told that they would review the costs against my coverage and let me know what percentage they would be able or willing to cover. Two days later, I networked with locals in that town, found a radiator and a shop to install it on a Sunday. I am now home and my car is fine. No Thanks to Progressive. You may be able to "Name You Price" but you won't be able to name your service. I will be shopping for another company.

Had an "ok" quoted rate and kind of settled with it, will never do that again. After the first month they jacked up my rates, when I called they said that I needed to send in proof of residency and health insurance, the customer service representative said to send a picture of my lease and insurance card through email and I'd get an answer in 5-7 business days. I did, and waited two and a half weeks. Today, I decided to call and check on the disposition. They said that a lease is not valid proof of residency and that I could send in (2) utility bills from WITHIN THE LAST 60 DAYS!!!
So not only did they alter my policy without my permission, they also lied and disregarded their promise of getting back to me with that information. And how exactly is a utility bill from within 60 days more proof for 1+ year residency than my lease with my move in date. I can tell dte I live somewhere and they need 0 proof of that so forging documentation for their needs is a lot harder than what I sent.
After telling them to cancel my policy the lady tells me that I can be penalized from the state for doing so. I said the state of Michigan does not have penalties for cancelling car insurance. She said they would penalize me for every car in my possession without insurance, which is more a threat than any type of warning because if I know the state laws on auto policies then Im sure I know that the vehicle needs it. After asking her again to cancel the account, she goes on telling me that I shouldve known to send in the documentation without being asked to and that it wasnt their job to inform me that my previous sent documents were invalid, when they said they would in the first place. This company is flawed from top to bottom and I would strongly suggest steering clear of their lies.

The claims representatives did not seem to want to do the work and required me to do everything.
I drive for Uber and Lyft and the request that they wanted to show that I was not driving during that time for the companies were outside of the norm. After sending screenshots and logs and Excel files from the company showing that I was not driving during that time the supervisor made the request more and more difficult. Then wanted me to get the driving times of all the other drivers in the area. I keep thinking that they do not want to pay out the claim and are looking for excuses not to. Horrible claim experience. I would not get insurance with this company again. I had insurance with Geico before and they're much easier to deal with during a claim which I had to do once.

I towed my car to Honda and notified progressive about it, at first they were very nice and promised to look into my case which they did. They send one of their experts to honda and was shown and told exactly what I said before, progressive said they needed more proof and Honda told them they couldn't tell or give any more information as to what was wrong with the car and had to tear down the car to see what really happened when I hit the hole. Progressive told me that I had to sign a form saying I will have to cover the tearing down cost which was 1100 and if Honda's diagnosis doesn't show any connection with hitting a pothole which to them need to be something specific, then they would not cover my car.
Later on a Rep from progressive called Honda and said they were not going to cover any costs since they don't see any proof? Disappointed at the different information I called progressive and spoke to a supervisor who said it me then that there is a very high likelihood that they will not cover my damages since apparently there is no visible evidence like bent rims, busted tires or scratches at the bottom of my car which would be hard to get as my car is high anyway. I asked if they would at least rent me a car for the time being and his response was NO because they don't have proof again that I really hit a pothole. All this years I thought I was covered by progressive until I needed them and they weren't there. Very, very disappointing for a good, loyal customer. Worst experience ever.

I do not have Progressive Insurance and have never dealt with Progressive prior to this incident. A third car hit the car behind me and pushed the car behind me up under my GMC Acadia. Since my deductible was $1k and the cost to replace my bumper was only $501, I had to go thru Progressive myself. Per my USAA insurance, Progressive is taking responsibility for the repair and rental car. Even though I had an estimate done, a claim adjuster from Progressive needed to see my car at the body shop. The car was able to be driven.
Problem: since Jan 2017 I have been in contact with Progressive insurance, specifically Chelsea. I leave messages for Chelsea and she does not call back. One late Friday around 5 p.m. she called about my claim and said she would call me back around 9 a.m. the next day, which was Saturday and we would get the auto body shop on the phone on a 3 way call and set everything up. Guess what!? She never called me! Again, I left messages for her and for a Dustin. No calls returned!
Eventually, I got another customer service person on the phone by pressing 0 when Chelsea's recording came on. I was all set up with Fix Auto in El Mirage, AZ. Took my car in around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, 3/07/17 and got a rental car. Called later in day Tuesday and no Progressive person had shown up. Called Progressive, got a customer svc rep and they told me someone is scheduled to go out in the morning - Wednesday 3/08/17. Called Fix Auto later on Wednesday, 3/08/17 - NO Progressive person showed up. Called Progressive office again, was told someone will be there in the morning, Thursday, 3/09/17. Called Thursday - NO Progressive person showed up.
Now called Progressive again, spoke to another customer svc rep and this one said a Leslie is going out Friday, 3/10/17 AND I was given Leslie's cell phone #. Left Leslie a message with my claim #, etc today and am waiting on a callback from her. I left on her voicemail that I MUST have my Acadia back for the weekend. I am going to leave a message on her phone every 2 hours until I get a returned call.
I am VERY frustrated with this whole experience. All that is getting replaced is my rear bumper. I realize that the bumper will need to be removed to see if any other damage is done plus, different adjusters are assigned different claims. This is unacceptable service for a simple fix to my car. I will NEVER recommend Progressive insurance to anyone and I will tell everyone I know about my experience with Progressive and how I was lied to numerous times about my car being checked out by an adjuster.

This is an update. I selected 3 stars so it would average to two. After calling enough people, Progressive finally decided that I had hit a deer and not a pole. I am still switching to a company that knows what deer-on-car damage looks like, but figured the world should know.

Over the weekend, I hit a deer while driving across the state. A minute after I hit the deer, an officer happened upon me and wrote up a report that it was, in fact, a deer (he saw it stumble off the road). I reported the claim right away, assuming that, having had no accidents, my case would be taken seriously. Once my car was at the collision repair shop, I was told that they believe I hit a deer with my bumper and a post with my fender. Not only were there no posts in the area, but the damage is far from consistent with a post! They paid (or I did, through my deductible) for a repair on the bumper and headlight, but left my dented fender for me. Buyer beware: get better insurance. The only silver lining is that it was not a serious accident I needed them for. I am taking this to court if the yellow "paint transfer" chemically matches his yellow marker he used to outline the damage.

Whenever a moron hits your car, and their insurance company is Progressive - expect to file a lawsuit in small claims court. The moment you see Progressive (or what I call Recessive), get as much information about the driver and owner of the car as possible - you'll need that if you expect to get your money back. I was found to be 0% at fault (100% Progressive customer's fault). They actually said they had a limit for the coverage, and we were only speaking about $3000 worth of damage. I asked what the limit of the coverage was - and they wouldn't say, but I got the distinct feeling from the Progressive rep that we must have been above or at the limit of the moron's coverage.
So just remember PROGRESSIVE = loser driver, get as much information. Hopefully the moron paid for his car - so I can take that away from him in small claims court. He is long on the ass, but short on the ET's. Claims adjuster was rude, insensitive, and talked over me when I gave my expectations (fix car, cover rental). I don't think I was being unreasonable. He then led in on a tirade of "state law only requires". Yes, I suppose state law lets all of the people that shouldn't be on the road - be on the road. You and I have to pay the difference. So way to go Progressive, I get to bad mouth your company regardless of how stupid your Flo commercials get.

My overall experience with Progressive was amazing. Everyone I talked to from Progressive was super helpful and willing and wanting to help me with my problem. I took my car to their Altamonte location in Orlando about a week later for them to do a damage inspection and estimate. They called me back within three days and told me my car was totaled. From this point on I was thinking all hell was going to break loose, and now I was going to be in a battle to try get them to pay the actual value of my car and not low ball me. Much to my surprise they gave just about $200 less that what I paid for it. They also pay you for the dealership fees and taxes you paid on the car.
The reimbursement process was smooth and simple. They instantly put me in a rental car from Enterprise, also allowing me to pick the rental car I wanted (which was a plus). They called me and told me I could swing by to pick up the cheque they had wrote me. The only thing that I had to bring in was the title of my car along with an ID. I was super surprised how easy it was; I was in and out in less than 30 minutes at anytime I was there. They don't hold you up. One of the service guys named Kenny was super helpful; he is located at their Altamonte Claims Centre. He was a straightforward person who told you exactly what was happening and what to expect. Overall would highly recommend Progressive Auto Insurance. Their customer service is outstanding. Keep up the good work!

This company SUCKS. I have been with them for 6 mths. When I got my renew rate it went from 24.99 a mth to 41.00 a mth. I have no accidents and no tickets and I drive less than 2000 miles a year. I had the snapshot thing and they sent me a card that I made it to gold member and that I would get a discount. Well if they call a higher mth payment then they are AH now. I would not insure a matchbox car with them. I got a good rate from Liberty Mutual. Progressive go screw yourself.

I got an estimate, but when I actually signed up it was $185 higher than the estimate, which they did not warn me about. Since my mom had a fender bender and we live in the same house they just added it on without confirming the new estimate.

Called for a auto quote and got a good one on Sat am called back and it went up from 428 to 790 in less time than you can take a breath, the agent is as far as I am concerned as lowlife as they come, she made every excuse in the book and even sent me 5 emails confirming the first price, would not recommend them to anyone.

On Jan. 25 I was involved in a major car accident while on way to work as teacher. A truck carrying wrecked cars forced me off the road and my car vaulted 61 ft in the air and rolled over 6 times. The driver of the truck kept going. I was cut from my car and taken to the ICU Trauma Unit of a local hospital. I was later transferred to a rehab hospital and released after almost a month. I have no disability insurance and will not receive a paycheck while on medical leave. I COUNTED ON PROGRESSIVE TO BE FAIR. I received a call from Progressive rep Emily ** while in the hospital. The wreck left me with a brain hemorrhage, 5 broken ribs, broken sternum, 3 broken vertebrae. Ms. ** was aggressive and insensitive when speaking to me. I was treated like a criminal and told I would be charged with the accident. Progressive acted as if my version of the accident was meaningless.
I informed Ms. ** that the officer who filed my report failed to speak with other witnesses on the scene who told me they saw what happened. She was only interested in closing out her file on me. The details of the accident read by her caused me a major panic attack in the hospital in part brought on by my heretofore belief that as a 20 year customer with Progressive and a clear driving record, my insurance company would be on my side or at the very least treat me with compassion. Neither of which happened. I have since spoken with supervisor Brad ** who intimated that I could not give a reliable account of the accident due to my head injury.
Though I have requested a copy of the police report so that I may personally contact the officer and pray he amends his findings after giving him the names of witnesses and my account of the accident, I am being pressured by Progressive to accept a settlement that robs me of my policy benefits for uninsured motorist coverage. Their position relies solely on an incomplete police report and they are taking the position that I am entitled to nothing more than monetary damages for the loss of my car (2014 Nissan Juke). Instead of calling themselves Progressive, they should rename themselves, Aggressively in Pursuit of Screwing Loyal Customers. They should be ashamed of the heartless treatment I have received due to their greed.

I was with Progressive for two years. Had two issues regarding a car that hit my parked car and Progressive helped me. Now I decide to cancel and when I say cancel I mean cancel the policy period. The previous month of my policy was paid and I called to cancel before the next month payment was automatic taken out of my bank account. The customer service guy told me that I would not have my discounts but I would receive the emails based on the change and should not pay attention to that because my insurance would stop. Now the month is over I don't have their coverage and they sent me an email that I have an overdue statement balance. No, I was told this is what I had to do to void next month payment and I had already paid last month payment in full. Ridiculous!!! Glad I am not with them anymore.

If I could give negative stars I would! Their website is atrocious! I set up to have my son's payment for his car insurance to come out of his checking account yesterday. They still took it out of mine today, which kind of screwed me up. Then I went in again to change the account information to his checking account information instead of mine and it charged my checking account another time!
When I called Progressive to have this payment cancelled they told me that there was nothing that they could do about it and advised me to contact my bank to stop payment! How kind of them that I would need to call my bank and be charged $25-$50 to put a stop payment on this draft all because their website is screwed up! I know how to navigate websites and make payments online. I do all of my bill pay, etc. online. This was not customer error! Needless to say, they got a cancellation fax today! I will NEVER do business with them and honestly knew better this time but my son has a few speeding tickets! I personally would have never signed up with them in the first place! BEWARE of them! They SUCK!

I have had Progressive insurance for over 7 years, never filed a claim (sure I have had a ticket or two but until last year - NO CLAIM). My truck got hit and the other driver drove off, I called and reported it. No the police was not called. This happen on personal property and I knew from past experience the police would tell me they could do nothing. But I called my insurance company, they did not pay out a dime on this. But it went on my record. When it came time to renew my policy they wanted $250 down and over $100 a month for basic insurance. When I asked why their representative got short with me... I was just trying to understand, there was NO REASON FOR THEIR PERSON TO BE THAT WAY WITH ME. I went to another company - my advice do not do business with Progressive and pray you do not have an incident with someone who uses their insurance.

WE were not-at-fault party in a minor (~$2000) accident. The Regressive rep proceeded to tell us we will hear from someone within 24 hrs. We of course did not, so I called, and called and called only to be notified that the adjuster only works certain days of the week. I called again to be told they still have not heard from their insured driver and we need to take it through our own insurance to get anything done. They have no ETA, and we have no car. Now that's PROGRESSIVE!!!

Customer for 15 years. 2015 my son had at fault accident. They never raised rates and I have road side assistance on my policy which they have it as a premium service which I pay for it and they cancelled my insurance due to us calling them too many times. We have 4 cars and in 3 years have called them 10 times. I don't think that is a lot. Shame on Progressive.

I have had a few issues with Progressive. First was the double bill that they told me was a "reinstatement fee" which actually turned into my monthly bill even though I had no accidents or ticks (Yep, my bill went UP after the first 6 months, even though there were NO changes)... Then the bigger problem began after I had a fraudulent charge to my bank account which caused a payment to bounce. This caused me to have to contact them several times to get that whole mess taken care of.
I thought everything was okay. I have in writing that I was to have a double bill in February and no bill in January due to the mess that had occurred... However, Progressive's computers get the last say and even though an employee went in and cancelled, then reinstated my policy to have the double payment in feb, I still received a bill for January (or so they claim) and because I didn't pay (again, I didn't know about it and had agreed to the double payment in feb) my policy got cancelled. I then called and had to explain EVERYTHING over again because they do not put notes in the files and was basically told "give us money or go screw yourself." I chose to NOT give them any more of my money and I am looking elsewhere for Car insurance. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!

They will not honor recorded communications. It took 6 weeks to get Progressive to remove a family member's accident from the underwriting decision. Underwriting Departments and Customer Service do NOT communicate with each other. First underwriting person admits that Progressive made a mistake and accidentally canceled the policy because Customer Service and Underwriting Departments did not communicate with each other about changes made to the policy. I have the Customer Service communication confirming this in print format from online chat feature on Progressive website.
Call back to Underwriting Department and now 2nd underwriting person will not take responsibility for what they claim is incorrect information communicated by Customer Service Department. They said the customer should know that the "Customer Service" Department and the "Underwriting" Department are separate and that information communicated to one department is not necessarily given to the other department. You cannot trust any information communicated by this company because they will not honor what another department says to you even if you have recorded proof of it.
Also, all my communications are set to be delivered electronically. Interesting to note that the ONLY document that was not delivered electronically was the cancellation notice. The refund post-cancellation was magically delivered electronically again. If you are relying on electronic communications and have opted out of the mailings, beware. They will not honor that either. Per Underwriting Department.

I think it is unfair that Progressive Insurance does not give a clear understanding as to what their policies mean. After being given the runaround by a number of agents, I was notified (today) that anything on your policy is considered a claim. Now being new to driving and insurance policies, that should have been something that was explained at the time I received the policy, but it wasn't. As a matter of fact, it doesn't state any of this in the current policy that I have. However, the only answer they were willing to give was, anything on your policy that is used is considered a claim.
When you call Progressive Insurance company phone number, claims and roadside assistance are 2 different options, yet after being with this company since 2012 and used the coverage that THEY told me was a good option to add to the full coverage, I am just now being told that roadside assistance is was considered a claim. Being new to driving, this was information that should have been included when explaining the benefits of being with the company, but they didn't. Not once when calling for assistance was I told it was considered a claim.
I have questions that they refuse to answer like, why wasn't the information offered before now? Or, why doesn't this statement show anywhere in your policy? Or, why after all this time, I am being dropped because of flat tires? Why after all this time, I am now being told that a flat tire will be the cause of losing your policy with an insurance company that told me this is something I should add to my coverage? I believe this very important to know as I would have used other options to fix my tires. Also, there wasn't 1 person who was willing to explain to me why this information wasn't made clear in the beginning.
My fear in all of this is the thought of how often are people mislead regarding coverage offered by insurance companies and how do you know you can trust them? This makes me not want to trust insurance companies at all. I feel completely mislead with no explanation as to why I was mislead or misinformed. They act as if this was a question I should have asked when being a new driver should have been something that I was informed of as they were aware I was a new driver.
Things like claims and how your coverage works should be explained at the beginning of the policy but instead when they decided they have enough of your money and they don't want to help you anymore then they tell you things you should have been told in the beginning! Thumbs down to Progressive Insurance and I hope others can see this and at least get the understanding I wasn't given before they purchase a policy from themselves. Flo is only in the commercials, the agents doesn't care about you or honesty about their policy, they only want you to buy it so they can take your money and dismiss you for them not giving you information you needed to know.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Let me begin by saying I am not a customer of Progressive, and will never be. My boyfriend was driving my car while I was at work (with my permission), and was hit from behind in what ended up being a four car accident back in December 24, 2015. At the time I had AAA for my car insurance, and the woman who was at fault had Progressive. I had a conversation with someone from AAA to give my statement. The lady originally told me it was going to be fine, even though he wasn't covered on my policy, because I gave my permission. Long story short, AAA rescinded my policy for saying I was being dishonest when I took out the policy, even though my boyfriend ALMOST NEVER drives my car.
I figured, hey didn't matter because he didn't cause it anyway. Boy, was I wrong. Progressive took a look at my vehicle and assessed the damage, putting me in a rental while it was to be fixed. Little did I know they decided to take apart my vehicle and not put it back together, then tell me they were only going to cover for a week in the rental. Once they disassembled my car, they tried to tell me it was a total loss, which I vehemently argued against because it was simply trunk damage and nothing more. But I got a runaround about how the woman who hit my car only had $10,000 on her policy and my car was at least $5,000 in damages. What does Progressive do? Fix every single car in the accident (all had very minor damages) and left my car taken apart and refused to fix it.
At this point I was beyond words. I was a mother who worked 40 hours a week without a car, so forced to pay for a rental. They were nice enough to let me keep the rate at which Progressive originally gave, but ended up paying about $2,000 for a rental overall. I was very angry. The agent handling the case was extremely clueless and lacked any kind of help whatsoever. I couldn't get help from AAA because they rescinded my policy. Progressive tried to bully me into giving them my car and for them to take it to an insurance auto auction to be sold. I didn't want to because I still had a car loan that needed to be paid off, my car had a Kelley Blue Book market value of about $10,000, and there was no guarantee for any kind of real reimbursement.
After a lot of back and forth I finally caved and agreed, much to my dismay. In May I signed the paperwork, and was told it would take 3-4 for the car to be processed and sold, and I would get the money. It is now February 2017, over a year after the accident, and NOTHING. I was just told today they were going to start on getting my car taken off next week. I blew a gasket. Weeks went by prior to this with me calling the rep, his boss, and his bosses boss and NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME. I am SO LIVID. Their customer service is beyond horrible, clueless reps, and absolutely no compassion whatsoever. I beg everyone to stay away from them, THEY are AWFUL. I've lost thousands on an accident that wasn't my fault and I won't rest until I get my reimbursement. Screw you, Progressive!!!
