About Progressive
Progressive is a major US car insurer, founded in 1937, that also covers motorcycles, boats, RVs and commercial vehicles and offers home and renters policies, some of them written by partner companies. Its pitch is choice in how you buy: directly online or in its app, by phone, or through independent agents, with prices that can differ by channel. Two tools set it apart from rivals. Name Your Price lets you enter a budget and see which coverage fits it, and its quote flow can show rates from other insurers next to its own. Snapshot, a usage-based program run through an app or plug-in device, adjusts your rate to how you actually drive, which can raise as well as lower it. Premiums depend on state, vehicle, record and discounts, so you need a quote to see a price. The app handles ID cards, payments and claims. It is a good fit for price shoppers in the US.
Best for: US price shoppers who want to compare rates and tune cover to a budget.
