We have been with Progressive for several years. No claims. No tickets. We had achieved Diamond Customer status + we bundled our HOI with Progressive. Yet, they keep on raising their premiums and I'm not talking about smaller increments like 2-3%. In the last few years, we have experienced several double digit rate hikes. Now, they want to raise our premium again by 12% from Oct. to Nov. 2023. This is absolutely unacceptable at this point! It's gauging and we have had enough.
So, we aren't talking about increasing monthly premiums a couple of dollars. We're talking about raising rates like $20 or more per month. Moreover, this happens consistently. We got out of Progressive and got something else instead and we're saving a lot of money now. Progressive is horrific with their rate hikes/gauging. What's the point of being "Diamond Customers"? It doesn't really matter. You'll have double digit increases anyway. Shame on Progressive! Shame on you!

So I obtained a quote from PI on Oct 12th and waited until the first to set up my new policy. Well I logged in today and I was unable to pay by month now. PI wanted all 4.5k upfront for 6 months. When I called first they said it was a California Rule so I called my Calif Insurance Commisioners office and they clarified it is not CA law. It is Ins company trying to screw us over. It's not fair that we are being forced to pay an astronomical amount for insurance when an alternate option is available. Not fair. I cannot afford 4.5k upfront. I don't think many people can.

Progressive is one of the Worst Insurance - Charges are high and they Renew the auto policy for 20 to 40% Additional. My first insurance for 524 and they increased to 924 for the renewal. I moved to the other Vendor and I got a very good quote for the same plan around 300. Also they charged 50$ as cancellation penalty to the customer. I never saw any insurance company suck money like this without prior notice and penalize the customer for moving to the other vendor. Such a Horrible Insurance and I recommend nobody to get quote from this company.

One of the worst insurance experiences. I had started my 6 month premium with them on Jan. 2023. They had charged $760 premium for a 6 month period. And when the 2nd 6 month period was about to start, they had increased the premium amount to $1462 (Almost double the initial amount). The reason that they had stated was obnoxius saying that they did an assessment of the area and the increase was due to 'rate adjustment'. Can't think of a better way to rip off money from the customers. Now that I want to add another vehicle to my existing policy which expires in Feb. 2024, they are giving me a quote for the whole 6 months although the new vehicle will be used only for 4 months of the policy period.
One of the customer care representatives put me on hold for 20 mins and then just hung up on me even after I clearly explained the math. Upon calling them again, they state that no matter when the vehicle was bought or added to the policy they still collect the premium for 6 months. This is the most illogical thing I have ever heard. Absolutely annoying. I don't know what to call this other than a way of literally stealing hard earned money of the customers.

These people who work there are like robots. They are all program to be rude and unprofessional. The only thing they need to stop the advertisement with the character Flo. They are not like that at all. False advertisement! My mother who is medically incapable of driving anymore due to mental issue by her doctor and DMV removed her license to drive a vehicle. She used to be on my policy when she had no car and not able to drive. Now she has neither so I had removed her from the policy. Somewhere down the line my mother went to church and had a ride with someone on their own car. The owner of that car got into a car accident with my mother. She ended having 9 broken ribs, and my mother nearly died. Nobody is suing anyone then progressive heard of the accident then ask my mother or I about the accident. The adjuster ended talking to was very rude and nasty. Her tone of voice was rigid and impolite. She insisted she paid for the bill.
I told her my mother is not suing anyone. A week later she called and left a message and a few more days later Progressive sent me a message either I added my mother or they will cancel my insurance coverage. I was never a liability for any insurance company. I had never fill a claim or had in accident all of my life. I am 56 years old. When I called them again, One of the agent name John was already train to manhandle me on the phone. Then John began to be loud and combative and said to me he is not going to repeat himself either I added my mother or cancel my coverage in March. I told them since he wanted to manhandle me he can add my mother and charge me more money.
As of this moment I am in the process of trying to search for another insurance company. Insurance company is not watching out for us. We need to keep eye on those politician that's giving them all this power. Just like the way Ron Desantis Governor of Florida gave Florida power light (FPL). How Ron DeSantis helped Florida Power & Light raise electricity rates by $5 billion that causes all Floridians bill to bill 6 folds higher.

Delayed bait and switch. When first signed up, I was given a lower rate than what I had with Geico, but with the same coverage (why I switched). When 6 months came and needed to renew, rate went up $95. Called the company, got transferred to sales department, and they said, well it was an initial e-sign discount, and when you renew, it comes off. Nowhere did I see this when I applied online, or on the paperwork that came with my new insurance cards. Maybe it was really fine print.
When I said, "If the rate doesn't go down, I will drop you," then offered me less coverage. I said, "No, I want the best protection, what I already have now." So they said, "We can't do anything for you." I said, I dropped Geico as their rates kept going up. You guys aren't helping yourself." She had the guts to tell me that the reason Geico is raising their rates is that a lot of people are getting into accidents now and Geico has to pay for their claims. What **. She also told me that a lot of people switch from Geico to Progressive and back again to get better rates with the same coverage, and I could be one of them.
Seriously?!!! What has happened to customer service these days??!! Aren't you supposed to do your best to make the customer stay with you??!! I guess I'm just a number. I will never go with these guys again. And now, if I'm going to get another carrier, I will be calling the customer service line to make sure that what I see online is right. I would advise anyone reading this and wanting to change insurances to do the same. It did sound too good to be true...
I don't have any tickets, violations, or anything on my record, so I deserve a normal rate. I will be taking my business elsewhere... If they keep doing this, I hope they will lose enough customers and get enough bad reviews to either change their practices or go out of business. Not worth your time or effort. Forget all those commercials with Flo where they try to make themselves look good. They're a bunch of scammers. Good riddance!!!!

I have a had Progressive for over five years. Without a claim!! My car was hit by another Progressive policy holder. Not even one phone call from anyone at Progressive, and not one item set to me in the mail about the claim. I left 6 messages and two voicemails for Mr. ** and his supervisor Carrie. I took a day off from work to wait for an appraisal and the person never came, only to find out the claim had been switched and no one contacted me with what to do next... They might be cheaper, but the way they treated their own customer when an accident happened is inexcusable. I have secured another, BETTER insurance company. Choose WISELY! Just know that this company isn't what Flo talks about when it comes to being there for their customers.

The adjuster I got, Brista **, did not explain the process to me or even start my claim when I called her. She said she would call me back. She called me 2 days later at the end of the day. I missed the call and she left a message. I called her back the next day And her VM said she would be out of the office for 10 days. By pressing 0, I was transferred to another member of her team named Brian. He did an awesome job explaining the process and completing my claim so that I could take photos for an estimate. He told me to download the app so I could review my claim and estimate. I got a text that my estimate was ready and said I could access it on the app. I filled in the claim data on the login form to see my estimate and the app showed "uh oh that's not the data we have on file." I entered the same data I gave when I filed the claim.
I called BVB to try to get help logging into the app and now my adjusters phone number doesn't ring it is just dead air. I could no longer press 0 for someone on her team. The automated system would only transfer me to Brista if I entered the claim number. I had to tell the automated line I didn't have my claim number to get to anyone. I finally got to a live human and she told me she couldn't open my claim and I would have to wait 10 days and talk to my adjuster. I explained to her this is not acceptable and I need some help now and she hung up on me. I called back and got a young man who had no problem pulling up my claim and he gave me Brista's supervisor's name and number, Michael **. I left him a message. His voicemail said if message left before 3, I would get a call back on the same day. I got no callback that day or the next day. I left another message and got no callback. I left Michael ** a 3rd message but I missed the call.
The kicker of this whole 5 day waste of time, effort, and frustration is that all I really needed to do is call the body shop, give them the claim number, and make an appointment. FYI- anyone considering driving for Uber be aware that even if you are not at fault and the other driver who is at fault is uninsured or a hit and run, you will have to pay a $2500 deductible out of your pocket. Uber's insurance provides no rental car coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, personal injury protection. Make sure you sign up for the injury and disability uber offers because uber driver is not eligible for workmanship comp or unemployment. Uber and the state of Texas do not have your back. My accident was from a drunk driver running 100mph down central expressway slammed the back of my vehicle. The driver and his passengers got into another vehicle and fled the scene. Not fair.

No customer service is available to process a claim. All communications are by text only at the convenience of the provider, lucky if you get contacted next day. To summarize - you will be dealing with the individuals who do not give a damn about you, your family or your vehicle. Do not make a mistake, stay away. The low premium will cost you 10x in stress, disappointment and lack of service from this the worst insurance company in the civilized world. Claim # **.

Terrible communication from the claims agent Lauren ** when my truck was hit by a tree. Incident occurred 8/15/23 for reference. Her voicemail says that she's the best contact to handle questions about my claim and that she returns calls by the next day at 10 am as long as she is working which is Tuesday-Friday. Lauren ** has never communicated with me once; without me contacting her supervisor first after waiting 10 days for word, and multiple days for her to call me back after I finally reached out to Lauren ** and left a message and sent an email. That was to even find out if I could put my truck in the body shop because I didn't want to remove the tree if they needed pics! Then, after the body shop stuff, I still have not heard back from Lauren **, even after going online and finding out that my claim was "closed".
Well, the body shop was unaware and they say the claim shouldn't be closed because Progressive is having them cut the panels off the bed of my truck instead of replacing the whole bed which then creates more damage and, even though Progressive knows it'll create more damage, that the adjuster from Progressive has to come out and preview that damage created before they can proceed with fixing it and that adds to the claim. So now, I've called and left messages and sent another email to Lauren **, as well as her supervisor, after waiting again 2 days for Lauren ** to return my call with no communication. This is ridiculous. My claim says it was closed and I should've been cut a check on 9/26/23 but it's now 10/5/23 at 9:40 am and I have no check, received no communication from anyone from Progressive, and have only found out about this through the Progressive website on Monday 10/2/23.

I purchased car insurance with Progressive this summer. I figured it was just something the law requires but I will never have to use it. Well, in September I was rear-ended in a hit-and-run accident which did some major damage to the back end of my car. I called the police immediately. The police eventually came and explained that since I couldn’t get a license plate, there wasn’t a whole lot they could do. I then filed a claim with Progressive. I will start off by saying my agent was cold and militant. When I told him that it was a hit-and-run, I was treated like I was the criminal. I was asked the same questions over and over again. They asked for screenshots of when I called the police. This was all provided to Progressive. Several days later I was interrogated by another representative trying to catch some holes in my story.
The agent tried with several ah-ha! moments asking me if I was involved in previous accidents. I said, no I was not. The rep then claimed she randomly had street camera footage of my car in an accident. I called the city to inquire about this claim. They told me that they do not have unlimited access to city cameras. And even when my accident occurred, I was told there are no cameras on this particular road. The agent lied to me and tried to use intimidation to get me to admit to something that never occurred.
Progressive now wants screenshots from my old email conversations with previous insurances. I don’t save emails from old insurance conversations. Progressive will not cover my claim because it’s a hit-and-run accident and they can’t make money off of someone else’s insurance. Progressive will make a claim as difficult and awful as they can make it for you. I will never ever use Progressive again and will tell my experience anywhere that will allow me to post my story.

I was with Progressive for almost 15 years here in Florida. No accidents, no DUI no nothing. Excellent driver in a State that is famous for bad drivers and crazy insurance prices. Not going to lie, but Progressive has good prices here in FL. The only problem is that they don't care about the customer. I paid 2 days late (my wife lost her job a month back, and we struggled with our finances) and they canceled my insurance. They told me I had to reinstate my insurance (make a brand new one). They were asking for more than 1,000 down.
I tried to talk to them to see if they could take into consideration that I had been with them for almost 15 years (diamond status) with no accidents or tickets. The answer was NO, I have to do a new insurance like I never had any insurance before. There is no loyalty, no matter how long you have been there or how clean your record is. They just care about the money (like any other company) but there are companies that will go above and beyond to keep their customers. At the end of the day, I found another company that took into consideration my driving record and I am paying less and was a lower downpayment. There are more and better companies than progressive, you just have to look around.

I have been with Progressive for the past 25 years, this was a very good company and people aspired to have Progressive, its rates were very affordable and rewarded you with safe driving, and accident-free driving. Lately, it has gone down the drain, I being their loyal customer for so many years have a crown status with accident/wreck forgiveness, etc. I reported an accident last year where someone hit my car from the back on a freeway, on the passenger side corner of the bumper, and sped off. I reported this incident to Progressive. They wanted me to take pictures and videos and send it to them which I did, and they sent a measly $500 check which was not enough to cover the repairs. This was the first incident I reported in 20 years.
A year later they jacked up my premium by $698 by issuing a notice saying that the accident was my fault when I was hit from behind. I called Progressive and they wanted me to speak to the owner of the file Mr. **. He said on his end it does not show as an at-fault accident and he will put in a query. I am just supposed to patiently wait while they investigate the wrongful report and credit me for the extra premium they charged me. I have also heard at least two other complaints from friends where they were a victim of this increased premium fraud. This company is now money-hungry and will go to great lengths to commit fraud for that extra money. They quote you a competitive rate and the next month the premium goes up. WTF.

Recently I was backing out of a parking space very slowly carefully using both my rear view mirror and bluetooth camera. A man jumped into his new expensive shiny black car and backed into me. I contacted the local police reporting that there were three small scratches on his rear bumper but no damage to my car. I was told they would not dispatch an officer since the incident was so minor. I then contacted Progressive and was told not to be concerned about anything. Yet this man bullied me in the parking lot and not only filed a police report but filed a claim with Progressive.
I was pulling out first and he should noticed my rear lights, whereas, this man lied about everything and I was told by a Progressive agent that I was 'at fault' because I failed to notice his red lights. He jumped into his car so fast and pulled out so quickly. I dropped Progressive as my auto insurance because their premiums were so high but located a more reputable auto insurance company which offered me better coverage at a significantly lower rate.

This joke of an insurance company fills you in with low rates then at your first renewal they will jack your rate up over $800 for every 6 mo then tell me they do 6 mo policies so they can do rate adjustments like raising the rate to make you homeless. Cheap companies like this are the reason for people losing their cars and homes or just driving w/o ins.
Progressive is a joke! I have had no accidents, no injuries, no claims. Nothing changed in the 6 mo and now they are raising me up over $1600/yr. Then during the phone call, since my rates doubled, the little pathetic receptionist at Snapchat was being extremely condescending acting like she is so much better than everyone- no you're a receptionist at an ins co, don't flatter yourself too much, but she kept saying how I was sent a cancellation notice of non-payment for a month's payment my bank wouldn't release Progressive the available funds because of the way they were trying to withdraw the funds? Idk that's on the banks. ** this place and look elsewhere. They are horrible!

I've had Progressive for 5 years, never had to file a claim until last month... My husband was driving home on the highway and an 18 wheeler's tire blew. Didn't have time or room to get out of the way and hit the front of our vehicle, ripping off most of the front bumper and pinning it under the frame. As soon as he pulls in the driveway, I hear it and see the damage, grab my phone to file a claim.
Filing was easy, when I called the next day about a mechanic and a tow, I was told all of their in network folks had at least a 1 month delay before they could get the car in. Not great as my husband is an independent contractor and has no sick or vacation time. We had no other options so agreed and was given the name of the shop to contact. I called, first there was confusion on whether the car was drivable or not. I said no, as I've said all along and they told me Progressive said it was drivable. So I call Progressive back to get that straightened out, said it was done and to call back the mechanic. Call the mechanic the next day and am told now can pick up the car Aug 3, (the day before it was Aug 2, so I expected that).
Now it's Aug 2 and I call the mechanic to ask what time they're picking up the car tomorrow, next steps, eta on repair time, etc and they tell me the car is still set to drivable, and they're not taking any undrivable vehicles at this time. Neither of them called me to tell me this sooner so other arrangements could be made. So I just got off the phone with Progressive, was advised that they just contacted 5 other options in our area and no one has availability until the beginning of Sept. Told me to call around and see if I can do better, then call back to set up something with another mechanic through them. I asked if they could get the next option lined up and I'll then call around myself, if I find something, I'll call back and if not, I won't. That apparently isn't an option.
I am just beyond myself right now. I've paid this company over 12,000 over the years and when I need assistance, this is what I get?! I was told when I signed up, I would get a discounted rate gradually over the years. Well, this is the first year my insurance went DOWN in any way and that's only because at renewal this time I was given the option to set up auto pay for a $20 a month discount. I just have no words.... as anyone could imagine. I can't believe I paid for this... I could've just bought another car already for what I've paid them to do nothing all these years.

Our experience with Progressive was fine for 12 years, and then we had to file a claim. Our car was broken into and vandalized. The car was not severely damaged but it was inoperable because something was jammed into the ignition. The claims process was lengthy and stressful, communication was awful, they lied, were rude, and never reached out to me except for an occasional text informing me of yet another delay, all communication was initiated by me or by the dealership.
It took 3 weeks, for a fix that took less than an hour in the service bay. I know you can expect less personalized service from a low-cost carrier, but no price break is worth that many headache. They are a carrier only for drivers who never plan to file a claim, and are just getting insurance because they are not allowed on the road without it.

Progressive is a scam. My daughter purchased a vehicle and got her own insurance. I go to pay my payment and they put almost 3,000 dollars more on my policy saying I have to pay it because she lives with me. This is the biggest scamming company. So I’m supposed to pay insurance on her car that she already has her own insurance on. I don’t recommend anyone getting this insurance. They said I was also being charged because she was in an accident even though she was a passenger in someone else’s vehicle. So how am I responsible for that when my vehicle wasn’t even involved. They also hung up on me 3x, cut me off every time I asked.
My child also has a learning disability and they questioned. Rachelle and Coran were very short and ignorant saying they needed me to send an insurance card in when she has the same insurance company. I wouldn’t recommend this company unless you want to pay for everyone in your house who have their own car who carry their own insurance. This company is a money grab and they are going to try to get on this post lying try to save face. They deserve no stars. This is the worst insurance company. Do your research.

I was involved in an accident that was not my fault. This whole process is a month in and has been a huge hassle. It is so very frustrating that I have to call my rep multiple times and email them multiple times spanning multiple days before I get any kind of response. I feel like I am in the same boat as a month ago where I didn't really know what was going to happen and didn't have much information. I am asking for a document stating that they will be paying off my vehicle loan and I cannot get that. I am supposed to get a check for a car seat reimbursement, I sent the pictures that were requested and reached out to just make sure they were received.
Three days later, I learned they were never received so I sent them again and they were received. Just so frustrating that I am just asking for a simple yes or no to the pictures being received and I pretty much have to blow up her phone. I have reached out to her supervisor, and I am not getting a call back from him either. My life was turned upside down, I have kids and life goes on, but I am stuck in a standstill a month later!

I was trying to insure my little car, a small compact chevy and was offered a decent price for 6 months premium. I like to get all the discounts I can get since I am a disabled Veteran and on a set income. Veteran, Homeowner, etc, etc. Then I asked if they had a discount for six mos, paid in full. They told me "of course we do". So I paid the entire premium for the small discount and went my way.
About a week, maybe more, I receive a bill in the mail from Progressive. It's three hundred and some odd dollars!! I called back in to speak to someone, which is a task in itself, took me a few days. They said they changed their minds, they want more money, and a lot more! I said, "You can't do that! Go back on your word, we had a deal." They said, "Oh yes, we can." I wouldn't pay it. They immediately sent it to collections and it hit my credit. An excellent rate I worked on for 20 years, not one ding on my credit report and they tore it all down in one day. It's all wrong. Things are all wrong in this country now. I think zero stars would be the more factual rating.

I was in 2 car wrecks in December. Every time I took my car to get it fixed, the adjuster showed up and then the repair places called me to pick my car up, before the repairs were started. Toyota Collis in Springfield Missouri and Grundy's ìn Carthage Missouri. NY car never got repairs, and I am not able to get it repaired. I'm disabled, and depend on my Toyota for 4 hours, every month. My exhaust is separated from the catalytic converter. My left headlight is getting ready to fall into the motor, and my brakes fail several times. I have recorded the transactions with Toyota, and Grundy's ìn Carthage.
I had a rental last time and then Andrew with Progressive went to the autonomy and he called and said that the autobody (Grundy's), that had my car to fix and after Andrew went there Sid at the autobody shop told me he wouldn't fix it. I have the most painful disease in the world, CRPS formerly RSD. Three Toyota facilities committed recorded, civil right violations, along with Progressive and Grundy's in Carthage. I was severely injured by several injuries causing the CRPS, and then the rear-ended 1st of car wrecks, screwed me up terribly. I'm considering class action on every, since everything is recorded, from all of these facilities. If anyone else has had Progressive and was denied your vehicle repair after adjusters, contacted you, then the shop refused to repair your vehicle, and your car was deemed salvage, email me please at **. I am posting this review on all the places mentioned.

So I started Progressive almost 1yr ago and my insurance started at $200/mth. I did the snapshot and they said I'd SAVE $120 every 6mo but instead they tacked that onto my insurance and raised it to $220/mth. Now my year 'anniversary' is coming up, looked at my next 6mo period and now they are charging me $40 extra from the first change, totaling $266/mth. They did not inform me it was going up, I have not been in any accidents, have not filed any claims, not had any traffic violations, nothing. I would have rated them a 5 when I first signed up, but now they get a 1 for false advertising and not informing me of upcoming changes to my bills.
I DO NOT recommend them to anyone unless you make a lotta money. For clarification, I drive a 2012 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner V6 w/ Tow package and TRD Sport package that I am currently financing. When I had Geico the cost was just $250/mth, I swapped to Progressive because they claimed that they would be cheaper and at first they were, then they crept the price up slowly and without informing me the prices were set to increase.

BEWARE OF NEW DRIVERS BEING ADDED WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. I received a letter from Progressive regarding my father's policy in Florida. I live in Ohio. The letter stated that my daughter up here in Ohio has been added to my father's policy down in Florida. I never asked for her to be added to any policy yet because she just got her driver's license. Because my father's mail is being forwarded to our house up here in Ohio, they somehow thought I wanted to add my daughter to his policy and did it WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION! This is such poor business practice! Probably illegal too and I will report this to the BBB. I called the local Progressive branch in Florida and they forwarded my Power of Attorney to Progressive Underwriters. I was told to call them tomorrow and they just needed to speak to me to have my daughter's name removed.
I called at 9am when they opened and was on hold for 35 minutes. When I finally was able to speak to someone, I was told they didn't have my POA from the branch office and I needed to call them. I explained that I didn't initiate this issue and I'm not about to waster any more time with phone calls. Since she was reluctant to do anything, I told her I would just short-pay the new invoice when it comes for the additional driver THEY added. She said "It is my Choice and was there anything else she could help me with". I replied no because she didn't help me with anything in the first place. Just beware of this scam they are running.

1) Progressive decided to double my insurance for no reason because the "introductory price expired." 2) When looking for new insurance they can't see that I was insured during a period of time I was insured with Progressive. 3) Because I moved to a new state Progressive closed my policy and opened a new one. The closed policy has NO proof of insurance available because it is a closed policy. 4) I am unable to get access to proof of insurance & customer service cannot get access to proof of insurance. NO ONE CAN GIVE ME PROOF OF INSURANCE. 5) I was told someone had to manually write a letter to give me that proves I was insured BUT I would receive it in 1-3 days. 6) I did not receive it and when I called customer service again I was told there is NO WAY I was ever going to get it in 1-3 days because the people who would have to write the letter have to write THOUSANDS a day and it would take 4-7 business days.
7) BUT & here's the great part there's NO WAY to know if a request was put in or if and when I will get it. 8) Contacted the Executive support team and they will look at my request in 2 business days. 9) Contacted Twitter and they told me to DM them Twitter DM wouldn't let me and I asked them to DM me and hour later they DID NOTHING so I responding that this is the level of customer service I expect and they blocked me - never one single second of an attempt to help.

I normally don't leave reviews this bad, and up until the last few years had found Progressive to be a great option for car insurance. However, my husband and I needed to get an insurance policy on a new vehicle a little over two years ago. We researched our car insurance options thoroughly and settled on Progressive because we'd heard good things, and because I'd had good experiences with them before. But, the policy cost we were quoted seemed very high. We re-ran our quote multiple times to be sure, with no luck. We finally accepted that insurance must just be more expensive in the city where we live. Fast forward two years, and I finally decided to start looking around for other insurance options.
I'm in the same boat as so many others: more working from home = less driving, so I started scoping out Metromile and other pay-per-mile alternatives. After more research I decided maybe I should stick with Progressive, but I still couldn't figure out why it was so expensive! So I went in and got another quote--entering exactly the same information (same drivers, address, coverages, etc.) as my current policy. And....my quote came up to HALF of what we were paying! My new quote was just over $400 for a 3-month term, and we were paying over $800 for the exact same coverage. I was shocked. I called Progressive and they couldn't explain, but confirmed that the best approach was to buy the "new" policy and cancel the "old" one, which I just finished doing, so I am now paying the correct rate.
However, this does not chance the fact that for the past two years I have been overpaying to the point that I have now lost well over $1,000 due to this mistake. I of course tried to speak with Progressive multiple times to determine how to get this lost money back. Unfortunately none of the people I have spoken to seem to be able to explain why this happened. What's even worse is they haven't even tried or seemed interested in trying at all. I just got off the phone with another person (phone call number 3), and they literally just didn't say anything after I explained the loss. When I asked if they were still there they said yes, and when I re-summarized the issue they still didn't really provide any response. I am really devastated about this.
Now is not the time of my life when my husband and I can afford to be losing over a thousand dollars to an insurance company (not that there's ever a good time, but things are tough now). Any and all savings I ever earned from trusting Progressive for my insurance have been more than lost in this one mistake they've made. I used to recommend them based both on their performance and professionality but based on these experiences I no longer can. It's probably best to do business with a better alternative like GEICO; or maybe one of the pay-per-mile companies really would be worth it.

I received an auto renewal notice recently and the policy price increased over 15% (over $100 for a 6 month policy). This was not due to any fault of my own (i.e. car accidents, claims, tickets, etc). The explanation provided was solely due to cost of living/inflation. I requested an itemized/detail explanation of the price increases, but they refused. They won't provide financial data to back up their claims, and truly expect that their customers will accept their "copy&paste" explanations. Inflation is clearly a scapegoat/defense tactic because the only explanation for a 15% increase is price gouging.

However, the auto insurance never began, and my company that I had been with for 20 years does not cover my new state. The representative that sold me the car insurance (Ryan) gave me his number to call as did the person that sold me my condo insurance (Anena). I called both of these people left a message and neither one of them called me back.

I finally got to talk to someone who was a supervisor (Patrice) who basically implied I was lying by saying she listened to the conversation, and I never purchased auto insurance, only condo. I told her she listened to the wrong conversation because I didn't get my auto from the conversation she listened to with the condominium person. She said she had to put me on hold again after I'd already been on the phone 55 minutes and we got 'disconnected'.
Since she didn't call back (Rude!), I called them back. I found out that the aforementioned person who claimed to be a supervisor (Patrice) was not a supervisor. I had to go through the whole process above, again, to get a supervisor (Theresa). Once I did, the story did not end well. I was told that their prices change daily, and I could not have the original quote that I was given for auto insurance. It would be $30 more a month.
In addition, Theresa was also trying to tell me, I didn't buy an auto policy. Hmmm, I wonder why my condo policy shows a bundle discount for auto? I did buy it. I was given my monthly cost, told the date the policy would start. It didn't matter, If I wanted the auto policy I would have to pay $30 more a month. Wonder why Theresa didn't listen to the phone call I had with Ryan where he stated the policy would start 11/18. I told them no thanks!

I applied for auto insurance with Progressive while living at college. I gave my apartment address and was issued a policy. Later Progressive cancelled my insurance because they claimed they could not verify my address. This was despite me providing proof at their request.

I only learned about the cancellation after receiving a notice from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
After speaking with several people at Progressive and requesting to speak with management, I was connected to a person who did not seem to understand basic insurance/contract law. This "manager" declined my request to speak with Customer/Client Relations and insisted that I owed $123 for insurance provided up to the date of cancellation. I was told, however, that if I could show proof of insurance for the period prior to cancellation that Progressive would forgive the amount. I provided proof of insurance as requested.
I did not hear anything, until a collection notice was sent to my old address. I contacted the collection agency and was again told that if I provided proof of insurance my account would be "cleared". I sent proof as requested (nearly 6 months ago). I have not heard anything since. I recently pulled my credit reports and found that Progressive listed an amount owed and my account in collections. In addition to sharing my experience with friends and family, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I am happily insured with GEICO with better coverage and a lower premium.

Alternatively, Progressive would buy my car back for $2800, still far below actual buying value in the Bay Area. My car 1998 Subaru is old, but cars are very expensive in the area and with working cats I could easily sell it for 4k or more. It’s a perfectly good working car that I had had for years and now have to pay out of pocket 1,000$ to fix and it will have a salvage title. My agent was unresponsive, she never answered the phone, rarely called me back, and didn’t explain any of this to me.
I had no idea that the car being reported a total loss was an option, or that to keep my own car, I would have to pay storage fees at a car shop. I would have been more careful in choosing a place. She was also extremely unhelpful in finding a shop that would see me and fix my car in less than 3 months' wait time. Take your money elsewhere! Progressive spends their money on advertising and not on actual customers. I was their customer for 6 years and this is how I was treated. I will be canceling as soon as they pay out, to not fix my car and force me to claim it as salvage.

This is my third time insuring with Progressive. They are known for having better coverage than other companies, however when it comes time to claim I found that your policy rarely matches your expectation on coverage, leaving you having to pay for your own car after paying expensive premiums every month. This time around is my last time insuring with Progressive, as during hurricane Ian I was given the absolute worst insurance service of my life. I was told that first I was covered, but needed to wait two day for my rep... okay. I am desperate so I waited. Guy calls me once, I call right back. No response. Can't get ahold of the guy for another 4 days. By that time, he informs me that the first rep was completely mistaken and that I have no coverage for my claim, 'goodbye'. It was really disheartening, I will never give Progressive my business again and am canceling now.

I would avoid this company, I had very bad negative experience with their advisors, they do not know their job, every time you call them they say different information and are not honest with you. In overall, a lot of advisors very unprofessional and often can't even read the information about your policy on their screen. It took me over 10 phone calls to resolve very very very damn easy car registration issue.

We are a small business/car dealer in Rock Hill, SC who purchased a truck from Florida. We posted it on a transport dispatch website and a transport company contacted us for delivery. The company is out of Florida and has insurance coverage showing on their central dispatch profile. on delivery, we noticed damage to the top of the truck (estimated about $4500), so we filed a claim with Progressive, their insurance carrier on 7/21/22. Two months later, yesterday (9/28) Progressive denied the claim based on them not being able to verify from the Transport company which truck (out of their fleet) was the one who delivered our truck and who was the driver that day. We believe that this is Ridiculous, to say the least.
We as a business have now lost 2 months without being able to put this truck for sale, and on top of that, we now have to incur the cost of repair.!! We also believe that it's just not fair, instead, it's a poor decision made by Progressive. How can someone like us be able to do business with a company that they cover then they say we have to know the specific truck and the specific driver who delivered our vehicle that day, while the policy should cover all the trucks & all the drivers who are employed by that transport company.

Worst service I've ever experienced. I've been working with Progressive due to their insured customer hitting me and driving off. I've never dealt with a more disorganized insurance company with worst customer service. For one I can only speak to the adjuster. If she is not available it goes to voicemail. I have had USAA insurance for over 15 years and if the adjuster is not available they route me to someone else right away. The adjuster has given me different answers on different days. So I finally asked for something in writing or documentation that I can trust and she said there is nothing they can provide.
This is a huge corporation and they have nothing documented around rental reimbursement? When you have told me different information I'm not going to trust this adjusters "word for it" and pay out of pocket for a rental and not get reimbursed. Also, I asked for a comparable rental and they said they only pay for the lowest available rental! Your insured customer hit my car and I'm out a car for 7 days and I don't get a comparable car? She then proceeded to hang up on me. Tanesha should be fired!

I told them to use the payment funds I made which was more than $199 for less than a full month. I just think they are being money hungry just because you find a better rate. If they want to keep the customer, they need to start doing a payment match.

My parked car was hit by a Progressive Auto Insurance insured driver. It has been one month since I filed my claim with them, and I still have not been made whole. My car is still in the shop and I am driving a cheap rental. This is due to Progressive being unresponsive with the auto repair shop and continually denying repairs.
I drive a very basic 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. The recommended repairs are reasonable and designed to merely put my car back in the condition it was prior to being hit. Progressive is trying to force the repair shop to use after-market (used) parts instead of original (new) parts. My car, even though it is five years old, had original parts, not after-market parts. Progressive is doing everything they can to not make me whole again. They do not return my phone calls requesting updates. They are unresponsive, unreliable, and untrustworthy.

My son sold (or thought he had sold) a vehicle to a person who deposited money into my account, did the bill of sale, and everything that was to be done properly when selling a vehicle. 5 days later the money was reversed. We immediately filed a stolen vehicle report with the police. Progressive's "Automatic Termination" policy states that if the vehicle is sold or transferred (without any other clarification) then the insurance is automatically terminated on the vehicle. Using this statement, I could have someone hold me at gun point, steal my car and it would still not be covered as a theft since a "transfer" took place.
What is the difference between someone using a gun to steal my car and someone using a blue collar method to steal my car. I see no difference. At the end of the day, my son is STILL responsible to pay on the loan of the car, the car is STILL registered in his name, there is STILL an open investigation on the car, and the car is STILL unrecovered. Now tell me in what universe that this car was "SOLD OR TRANSFERRED" where it isn't considered stolen and insurance would not pay for it under the comprehensive insurance coverage. I have been complaining until I was blue in the face to anyone who will listen. If Progressive changes their automatic termination policy to read "if the vehicle is sold or transferred, through any legal or illegal means, insurance coverage will be immediately terminated," then I will rest my oars and say another thing about it. If they cannot do that, then they do not have a leg to stand on denying the coverage on this vehicle.

My Homeowner's Policy went up after one year and the auto policy seemed too high. USAA had a much better rate, so I set up my new policies to begin on April 12. I spoke with a Progressive agent on April 10th to cancel both my home and auto policy. I had just added a car to our policy so there was going to be an outstanding balance due. The agent told me it would be $87.31. When I received the Final Bill in the mail, it was $90.31. They had the $1 monthly installment fees broken out and totaled $3. My policy period was from January-June so I had paid $3 so I assumed that may have been the difference. I called and talked to an agent and asked about this fee and they stated that $90.31 was the correct amount due and was not sure why the Agent originally told me it was $87.31.
I know it is just $3 but it definitely seemed that they were charging me for either the $3 I had already paid or the $3 for the remaining payments. That is the only thing that would make sense. That, or the initial agent just misquoted the final bill on the phone. They were unwilling to reduce the bill to match what I was told originally and I was disappointed; not in the money and time lost due to this issue, but in the lack of customer service. I'm much happier with USAA. If you are military, a veteran, or your parents are, I would highly recommend contacting them. They have great rates and their customer service is top-shelf.

- They use the cheapest parts available instead of replacing the parts like for like. They will not use OEM parts for your car, despite it being in great condition prior to the accident. Why? Because they can, and third party parts are cheaper. But third party parts don't fit correctly, and don't match exactly. So your vehicle will not be put back to the pre accident condition.

I have been a Progressive customer for over 3 years and had to file my first claim this year (August 11, 2021) for a shattered sunroof. My claims representative contacted me within about a week, and, after discussing with her, she told me she had called the shop and arranged for me to drop my car off a few days later. The morning of, I called the shop to confirm and they said they had no record of any conversation or booking. I called my claims representative back and learned that she was on vacation, but I should leave a message and one of her colleagues would get back to me.
After three days and no calls back, I called again and learned that her mailbox was full. From then on things just got worse. No matter what Progressive number I called the phone system would send me straight to her full mailbox. Through trial and error I learned to call customer service saying that I had questions about my coverage until I was able to speak with someone. I would then be transferred to the claims department and eventually transferred to someone in the same office as my claims rep. Even so, I got different answers from every person I spoke with and finally found a shop myself and booked an appointment. I was then told I needed to submit a photo/video claim to an adjuster before I brought it to the shop. This I did, and was promptly told that my car could be fixed using a $156 recycled part and $66 for labor -- well below my deductible.
I called the adjuster to explain that she had obviously not understood the extent of the repair needed from the few pictures and video that were required for the claims process, but she assured me that this was the extent of the claims process and Progressive would not pay for any repairs. Afterward, I called progressive customer service and was immediately told that the claim had been closed and was hung up on. After four hours and speaking with 7 different customer service and claims reps I was finally able to arrange for an adjuster to inspect my vehicle.
Three weeks later (September 14) an adjuster went to the shop to inspect my vehicle and changed the labor cost to $684 keeping the same $156 for the recycled part. My vehicle was then sent to the nearest Audi dealership to have the repairs done. Once at the Audi shop, they explained to me that the extent of the damage was well beyond simply replacing the glass with the recycled part and that the whole sunroof assembly would have to be replaced. At this point I was left in limbo, with no one at Progressive able to update me on the progress of my vehicle. My claims representative had been back from vacation for well over two weeks according to her voicemail, but I still never had a single call returned. I was finally able to have a new claims rep assigned to my claim and promptly called him. Amusingly I got his voicemail explaining that he would be out of the office starting that day (September 20) through the next week.
Thankfully I was still getting brief updates from the Audi shop and learned that my car had been returned to the original shop and Progressive had arranged for a third party to install the recycled glass (that had not been installed by either shop because it was not a proper repair.) After waiting another two weeks for the third party to do the repair, I was informed (by the installer as I could still not get a single response from anyone at Progressive) that they could not do the repair suggested by Progressive because the damage was well beyond simply replacing the glass. (sounds familiar...)
Over two months after filing my claim, and after Progressive had tried to get multiple people to perform an inadequate repair, the adjuster agreed to inspect my vehicle again. This time she agreed that the entire sunroof assembly would have to be replaced, and the part could be ordered from Germany. I am now approaching three months without a vehicle, waiting for a part that should have been ordered two months ago. I can still not get a call back or an update from anyone at progressive (adjusters, customer service, my claims rep etc.)
This entire process has been an utter nightmare. It has compromised my career and income as I had to delay a relocation. The few times I have been able to speak to someone at Progressive I have been blatantly lied to. Was told that parts were delayed when no parts had been ordered yet. I was told on countless occasions that I would get a callback and I have NEVER received a call back from anyone at Progressive. I always pay my policy in full, so here I am having paid for six months of coverage, three of which I have not even had my car. I have had such a horrific experience during this entire process that I am immediately switching to a new insurance provider.

I had purchased a used 2004 Toyota Matrix and had insured the vehicle with Progressive. I knew it would not be a car that would survive long as from the start there were problems. After just four months as expected the car's engine went out at stop light and the cost to repair exceeded the value. I called a local junkyard and sold it for scrap the next day.
I called Progressive to let them know and agent informed the policy would be cancelled as requested. I also informed them there was no car to replace it with at that time. To my surprise I received a bill for 117.00 for the premium. I disputed it with Progressive and again was assured there were no charges and bill would be cancelled. I recently ran by credit report and there was collection account from Progressive for the 117.00. I am disputing it the collection and have also filed a complaint with the Dept of Insurance. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. IT'S TIME FOR CONSUMERS TO QUIT GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK.

I am a newer Progressive customer. I have full coverage and paid for road side assistance. This morning I broke down in the middle of nowhere. I called for road side assistance and asked them for a tow to the nearest shop. They said, "We can do that." I said, "great." Then they informed me that they would only pick up my vehicle and take it to the shop and that I had to find my own way there. I said, "Let me get this right. The point of road side assistance is to get you back on the road or to a shop to get your vehicle fixed so you're not stranded on the side of the road and since you're willing to pick my vehicle up but no willing to let me ride to the shop I need to walk 5 miles to get to the nearest shop."

I've been a Progressive customer for over 5 years. In the past, when I had a claim their team was responsive and friendly. Prior to my most recent claim, I had no complaints. 2 of my cars were flooded due to Ida on 9/1. I submitted a claim with Progressive at midnight on 9/1. Early on, my rep was very responsive and even took it upon herself to consolidate the claims so we would have 1 point of contact instead on 2. Unfortunately, the Progressive approved shops were not available until 9/15. I was given the option to find my own shop, and the cars were dropped off on 9/7.
The adjuster contacted us to say the cars were totaled on 9/10, and we should hear from someone by 9/14. We called into our rep, but were told the claims had been reassigned. We called our new reps and left messages, with no response. This went on for 14 days with no return calls from our reps. During the entire claims process Car #1 was reassigned 3 times. Of the 4 reps I "had" I only was ever able to speak with the initial rep handling the case.
Our adjuster was responsive and informed us that there were documents sitting in the portal waiting to be sent to us, and seemed amazed that no one had sent us those documents. I finally called Corporate directly to get the documents sent to me. When they were sent, I was not given proper instructions - including having to have 2 copies of a POA notarized, so I have had to visit a notary twice. In the instructions, we were told not to mail the documents until a representative reviews them. We left more messages, with no return calls. Finally on 9/28 I sent a tweet to Progressive and THAT is what got us a return call and this matter resolved after 14 days of no return calls. This is no way to treat customers.
I will add that I can understand that Hurricane Ida has created an influx of calls and work - BUT neighbors on my street who experienced the same on 9/1 have already had their cars totaled, received their payouts and are driving new cars. It took 28 days just to get the proper paperwork submitted due to Progressive's lack of response. So not only do I not have a check, I haven't had a car since 9/1.

They are lazy and incompetent. They are not your advocate and only seek to reach a judgement quickly because you, a paying customer, is nothing more than a hassle.

Do not trust your family and autos to PROGRESSIVE! FLO IS A LIAR - DO NOT TRUST HER! Challenger Deep is considered the lowest point on earth. Travel there ... dig down 10 ft, and that is where you will find the scum that run Progressive insurance. This company values only statistics, not people. I just signed up for a policy with Progressive 1 1/2 months ago. I changed my carrier after 10 years with Allstate. Allstate had raised their rates so high I was forced to look elsewhere. 2 weeks after getting my new policy with Progressive, my son's car broke down at a Jiffy Lube (after an oil change). Initially I called Progressive to arrange for a tow, but cancelled it because Jiffy Lube wanted time to inspect the vehicle to determine if they were at fault for the mechanical failure.
After the inspection by Jiffy Lube, I called Progressive again to use my roadside assistance policy for a tow. The tow went quickly and smoothly. I was happy with the service. Fast forward to two weeks later. I received a letter in the mail from Progressive stating that my policy was cancelled because I had made two claims within the first 30 days.??? What??? I cancelled the first tow (a claim). But, according to Progressive, just by calling them and requesting a tow that was in effect a claim (even though no money was spent by either party).
I called Progressive to explain their mistake, but basically met a brick wall called the underwriting dept. They explained to me that because I had the audacity to actually use the policy I had paid for - roadside assistance - twice within the first 30 days of my policy, I was considered a high risk customer and therefore they were exercising their rights within the law to drop my policy. Unbelievable! I have a credit rating of 800+. Have never missed a payment in my life. I am as low of a risk that exists on this planet, but "statistically", according to Progressive, I am not worthy of their product.
Now I am switching carriers yet again (a joyful process to be sure). Progressive is not worthy of your time or money. They invest most of the money they make (and we are talking billions) in making TV commercials. FLO seems like a nice lady on TV. But get her on the phone and she is a cold, calculating snake!

Awful experience after I had an accident and wanted the car back. My car was totaled because they chose to value it was the lowest possible NADA value. They take the average of 2 salvage yard's prices to junk it and minus that off of their offer to you if you chose to keep the car and not let them junk it. I caught them lying about one of the quotes that was very high at $673 dollars, most salvage places or car auctions only pay roughly $200-250. So after I priced the same business myself to junk it I knew they were lying. After speaking with my agent she revised it and said now they were quoted a price of $273, which brought my average lower and got me $200 extra on what they were willing to pay me. Well I guess I pissed the agent off because when the tow truck brought the car back the battery was completely dead and the key was in the ignition in the full on position. So it appears that someone literally left it running forever until the battery finally died.
"Extremely unprofessional" doesn't even cover how I feel about them. Steer clear at all costs. I switched the same day to GEICO and saved over $100!

Progressive insurance touts "bundling" insurance policies to save money in its television advertisements. "Flo" gets frustrated at a picnic because people are discussing grouping of their policies to save money. Here is the truth of the matter: Progressive Insurance, as well as many other insurance companies, want you to "bundle" all of your policies together under their banner so that they can deceive you by offering low rates on a few of your policies and then rip you off on just one of the policy categories. They are out for maximum profit.
"Bundling" is a deception designed to make you think they're giving you great rates, but you will do better by comparing policy premiums at several different insurance companies without "bundling" them. Let me save you some money. Try out my suggestion. Call a bunch of insurance companies for rates and don't let them talk you into "bundling" all of your policies. You will be very surprised at how much money you can save by spreading out your insurance needs among a number of different companies.

Well, she lied, or as her boss put it “she made a clerical error”.
As soon as we tried to cash our checks they were declined and progressive came back saying that they needed additional documentation from the chiropractor because medpay hadn’t in fact paid for my treatments. Then for my fiancé they said they totaled the amount of his treatment wrong (yes, they agreed that they made a mistake and gave us false info before we signed) and that he had actually gone over the medpay coverage of $5000 by $1200 so they would need to remove that from his payout to pay the doctor. Again, we asked these questions and have documentation and will admit that they messed up, but they expect us to pay and essentially holding us responsible for their bad faith acts.
It apparently doesn’t matter that they agreed to giving us false information before signing, or that they issued us checks and immediately voided them, they’re not willing to budge or accept fault because we signed the settlement so that’s what they’re bound to. They should be ashamed. Our settlements weren’t a lot of money (we accepted the first offer they provided and didn’t attempt to negotiate for more) and now they’re trying to remove a quarter of the amount from each to make up for their mistakes. What’s worse is how petty this is.... That amount of money is nothing to them but makes a huge impact in our lives. Again, they should be ashamed and I would highly recommend going with any other insurance provider.

If you ever have the misfortune to be in an accident with an auto insured by Progressive, don't automatically think you will be paid for your damage. I had an incident with a car insured by Progressive in Dec, which they admitted their client was responsible for, but they refuse to fix my auto because they say they can't confirm coverage and need more time. They think I am just going to go away, they are sadly mistaken. I will write this review everywhere I can. Trust me, patience is not something you can have with this piece of crap insurance provider. So much for their commercials about going the extra. Well then again, they go the extra not to pay for their insured. I hope none of you ever has an accident with this so called provider.

I switched to Progressive Insurance at the end of November 2020. I, unfortunately, had an auto accident in late December. The claim experience was phenomenal. I was 100% taken care of and satisfied with the claim process. However, on 2/5/21 I awoke to an email dated 2/4/21 that stated my policy was canceled on 2/3/21 due to an underwriting issue. I immediately contacted Progressive who told me they had sent two notices regarding needing to conduct an underwriting review. I never received any of that information from them regarding cancelation, otherwise, I would have immediately rectified the situation. I did however receive multiple letters, emails, phone calls, and log-ins on the Progressive app without notice during this time. I updated my policy several times as I removed the loss vehicle, added another (and dropped another vehicle that I had sold). At no time was I made aware of a need for underwriting review.
With dozens of points on contact made with the company and a paper trail to support this claim, I contacted Progressive on 2/5/21 to explain that I was not notified and somewhere a breach in communication occurred regarding underwriting. After hours on the phone and multiple escalations, I was told I need to wait for up to 48 hours for a response and they will in no way reinstate my policy. As an individual who can prove these points of contact and who has every piece of mail sent from progressive stored in a file cabinet (without any underwriting review information included...), and who can prove multiple emails, app logins, website visits, and phone calls, I was kicked to the side and left without insurance, resulting in missing work to rectify insurance needs before driving my vehicle.
Progressive insurance does not operate a business that takes care of their customers and others need to be warned. Before they are put at risk, especially when this company is supposed to mitigate risk for consumers. Today I awoke to snow on the ground, imagine if worst case an accident would have happened without me seeing the one email, cancelation, and would have conducted my daily business not knowing that behind the scenes Progressive was conducting shady business practices. Please note my policy was current and paid, and any point of contact requested of me was immediately responded to. The proof is available if needed. I was told I would have to wait for up to 48 hours to reach a supervisor and in no way would they reinstate the policy.
I want it to be known I don't leave negative reviews often, if at all. I also am a responsible citizen who handles my responsibilities and acts when the situation dictates. Somewhere a breach in the chain of contact occurred and I believe that I have demonstrated that with all my points of contact made with the company I had provided several opportunities to be notified of this breach. I don't believe that was Progressive's intent and that they sought to drop my insurance due to the accident (so that I could create a new policy at double the rate).

I tried reaching out to the CEO and customer service Directors etc. and they don’t care. They threatened to report me to collections for a bill that is just a little over 30 days past due. I have already made a 50% payment of my balance about a week and a half ago. In order to pay my balance I asked them to give me three extra days because that is when I get paid. They said no repeatedly and their threat for collections still stands. They said they will not stop the collections after I begged them and wrote letters.
They are a rotten with no heart company. I have taken in three family members due to the pandemic. I am the sole provider and all I asked them to do is please give consideration to the current climate of the world. It’s not as if I asked them to cancel the bill.

I was rear ended in October, (1st accident ever and I am 54). The collision repair company that Progressive recommended had my car for over a month. Got my car back and the following week I had to take it back, the check engine light came on, my sensors in my back up camera were not working, my side view mirrors were not working. They had it again for a week and a couple days. They fixed my sensors and said since the check engine light went out there wasn’t anything they could do, they said they talked to progressive about my side view mirrors and they said they would not cover that because it couldn’t be proved that the accident caused it! (Well let’s see, they were working before the accident and now they’re not!)
I had submitted a list of damages, I was hit so hard that my glasses flew off and broke, my dash cam got broke, my screen protector on my phone broke and now I have diminished value on my car and my deductible I wanted reimbursed. My claims adjuster said that I would need to contact the subregion Dept, which I did. Almost 3 months later I finally get my deductible reimbursed and when I asked about the rest of my claim they said that my claim has been paid in full (my deductible) and is now closed! Unbelievable!! I just paid for my next year's policy in full. I don’t care if I have to pay another company double, I am canceling with progressive immediately! I don’t see how this is legal.

Switched coverage to split a car off multi car policy. Have always been with one of the major carriers as I work in insurance, thought I'd give one of the "hands-off" platforms a try. When it came time to need to use a service [roadside assistance] I could not get anyone on the phone. The phone system would disconnect your call after you held for 30+ minute to speak with someone. I then used the automated system to call a tow truck that NEVER arrived after 3 hours. I called back to the customer service once again and after another 45 minute wait and paying an additional $46.00 for 5 miles of towing beyond the distance the coverage allows a tow truck drive actually contacted me. Needless to say, when you are in an accident or broke down is not the time you want to find out your insurance carrier has follow through on the service they sell. Went back to my prior carrier and saved $35.00 a month as well. Lesson learned.

I signed up for auto insurance with the Snapshot device. My initial premium (with Snapshot discount) was just $52 a month, for my BMW X-1. The Snapshot device beeped three times shortly after the car started, and then once or twice each time it came to a stop. While using it, I had no accidents, no claims, no tickets. My mileage was low, thanks to semi-retirement and the pandemic.
When it came time for my policy renewal, Progressive tried to increase the premiums (for the same coverage) by over 400%, to over $200 a month. I logged on to check my Snapshot report. The only negatives were so-called “hard braking”, which seems to have been nearly every time the vehicle came to a stop. Now, I live in an urban area, and there are lots of stop signs and intersections with red lights, meaning lots of stops from a low speed. None of these were panic stops, no tires screeching, no “hard braking”. A passenger in the car would not have noticed anything untoward. Stopping is part of safe driving technique. This is nonsense. I am filing a complaint with the State Insurance Commissioner - and I am finding a new car insurance carrier.
