More expensive insurance but their service is good. Always check to make sure they give you all discount credit on what your auto qualifies for as they will miss some!

Progressive Car Insurance review
Disagree with top rated company. I have zero accidents in the family, zero tickets, one home claim which was hail damage, all over last 5 years. Insurance on cars has increased $100 year and Home insurance close to $200 a year over last three years. Be careful, they get you, then bump you up. I just received another quote from very reputable company, same coverage and $600 less total for bundled coverage. Bye bye Progressive..

We love Progressive! They have always given us prompt, courteous service. They return calls when they say they will. Our auto body shop said they really like working with Progressive. They arranged our rental car very efficiently as well as working with the auto body shop. They are also great about checking on us after the repairs. We will keep our car, truck, and motorhome with Progressive.

The biggest Improvement you can make would be allowing your customers to talk to the same customer service agent each time they call.
