Thinking about switching my auto coverage from Nationwide. Have any of you used Progressive?

Thoughts?

TIA

I've had Progressive for about 14 years now. Never had any issues with them. The few incidents we've had were handled promptly. Never had to call about a claim or payment. I recommend them to anyone.

Progressive is owned by Geico.

Been with State Farm for over 12 years. Every time I move I shop around, but no one can touch their rates or customer service.

That said, I have a strange attraction to the Progressive spokeswoman, Flo. I dunno why. She isn't even that hot. It must be her great expressions, or something.=p~

True, that they are...here in Florida...you can have either one...GEICO is cheaper!

I used to have State Farm...They did have great customer service...but they NEVER called to say they could save me anything either! I saved a TON of dough switching to GEICO...just like the commercials say...I had an incident where another driver moved into my lane and road rashed the side of my old truck...GEICO took great care of me and made sure the other guy's insurance ponied up...didn't have to do a thing. That's been my experience.

Progressive is a publicly traded company.

GEICO is owned by Berkshire Hathaway.

That's why we keep you around HD. Either way, both were over my SF policy by 50%

USAA was almost double.

Surprisingly, State Farm is cheaper than Progressive and Geico, thanks Gimbel.

I was with Geico for over 10 years. My wife had an at fault and our premiums jumped... a lot more than I thought they should have.

So I dumped their punk asses for USAA. Been with them for over 2 years now.

When searching for insurance, I don't think price alone should be the over-riding factor. I could get cheap insurance and hope to hell I never need it. I prefer to work with reputable companies at a fair price. I know if the crap hits the fan and I need great service, I will get it.

USAA won't cover my RV so I have Progressive on it... same for boats I think... 🤔

haven't filed any claims but they seem to take my money very well..... 😟

Over the years I have had to file 5 claims on my auto policies and one on my home. Three of those were on the Mustang and one was my fault (no other vehicle involved). Each and every time I either had a check in my hand or repairs being done within 3 days of the incident. And I did not see a spike in my premiums.

Your experience may differ.

The answers are not always easy, State Farm is by far the lest expensive for my Corvettes.
