Overview

About This Carrier

Progressive has been publicly traded since 1965 and writes personal auto, motorcycle, boat, RV, collector auto, and commercial auto through independent agents across the country. Progressive tends to be competitive on auto pricing for drivers with clean records, and their specialty vehicle coverage -- motorcycle, boat, and classic auto in particular -- is broad and well-structured. Their homeowners product is available through independent agents and can be bundled with auto for clients who want a single carrier relationship, though underwriting is selective and eligibility varies by property type and location.

Pricing & Claims

What to Expect

Best Pricing For

Progressive is consistently among the most competitive options for personal auto, particularly for drivers with one minor violation or a mixed driving record. Auto is their core strength; homeowners is a secondary product.

Pricing Context

Progressive is often among the more competitive on auto, particularly for drivers with clean records and newer vehicles. Their Name Your Price tool lets clients set a budget and see what coverage that buys. Homeowners pricing is available but not typically as sharp as their auto rates. Specialty vehicle pricing on motorcycles, boats, and RVs is where Progressive consistently competes well.

Claims Experience

Progressive auto claims are handled through digital tools and a concierge repair program, where Progressive manages the repair directly with a guaranteed shop for clients who want a hands-off process.

Admitted Status: Licensed and regulated by the state insurance department in each state where it writes. Policies are backed by state guaranty fund protections up to applicable limits.
