Progressive Insurance

[pushing_fe]

I talked to a friend who had his insurance dropped by Statefarm because he had a couple speeding tickets and then got a DUI. He got Progressive to insure him for less money than he was paying Statefarm. I got an online quote yesterday with better coverage than I currently have, and it was 1/2 the price I currently pay.

So I get out my Allstate policy declarations to try to figure out why it is so much more and I notice under drivers it still has my ex-wife listed. I figure that this is why my insurance is so high. (140.00 a month) So I call up Allstate and they say yeah, she is still on there let me take her off. Well I figure that they are going to tell me that my insurance will be going down since there is only one driver on my truck now. WRONG! The say, now your insurance is going to go up because we had you listed as married!

Fuckers, I cancelled it right there and switched to Progressive. Anyone had any bad experiences with them?

Well, all insurance companies will charge to less if you're married, that's for sure.

The thing I don't like about prgressive is that they have VERY inflexible payment terms. I tried to get insurance from them at 21 years old, with a clean record, and they wanted the ENTIRE premium up front. They wanted me to pay one payment of $3100. I told them no thanks.

They keep dropping their claims adjusters out of airplanes right onto the accident scene..

Poor folks sometimes miss and hit power lines...

I like driving or calling my SF agent instead..

By the way.. It suck to be paying that much for Insurance.
Us old farts got it made on this issue..

I have progressive. it;s been AG - all good so far.

Only bad thing that I have heard about progressive, is that they raise you rates more frequently over time.

Cheap rate to get you in the door.

I have never had progressive insurance, so I can't say for sure.

I've been thinking about switching because State Farm has jacked my rates up on each of my last 3 renewals.
