We have them and do not recommend them. We have been shopping around and have found another highly rated company for less money.

Could you share the name of that company?

We are also shopping around. Tried Progressive for house insurance, they will not write for our address, we are within 5 miles of reported sinkholes.

I would never use Progressive because I know enough about them to go elsewhere for coverage.

Flo wants to know what she's done wrong.

I had the same feeling when I signed up with them and was going to express that thought some time last week but ended up getting into a dueling match about net worth or some such foolishness with one of the elite of TV ON TOTV'S. I would change in a minute if the price is rite. I Sound like Monty Hall. Please tell us what you know Kemosabe.

I have them covering a seasonal trailer in Ohio, two boats, and two cars, least expensive provider. About two years ago had some trailer roof damage due to a storm. They came right out the next day and covered a brand new roof, no hassil. So far I'm happy with the service and price.

I wish when people are responding they would give a reason for liking or dis-liking... not just I know enough not to use them???

We had them is PA years ago and then we received a better price from GEICO. We have had GEICO for years and only one claim that went very smooth. We never had a claim with Progressive so I can't make a comparison.

I have had had GEICO for 40 some years and they are great but their rates are exploding. Can get Progressive for $350. Less. To good to be true???. Same coverage. Don't know what to do.

Have had progressive for 8 years now, first in Ohio and now in Florida. Monthly cost has gone down almost every year. Paying around 75 a month for 1 car and 250 deductible.

My advise is contact an independent insurance agent. Show them your current GEICO policy and the offer from Progressive. Ask them for a quote from a third company. You will then know if it's "too good to be true."

By the way, having had "GEICO for 40 some years" is not relevant to making your decision.

Flo or The Gecko? I like them both. Life can be so hard. Truth is these type of individual and personal recommendations are based solely on someone's personal experience with maybe one incident. One never knows the actual circumstances that influence a person's likes or dislikes. Just read what they cover, how they do claims, and compare that to price. Insurance is a funny product. We buy it, and hope we never use it, and most of the time we don't.

Just switched from Traveler's to Progressive because it's saving me almost $300 a year. Policy has been in effect less than a month, so no issues to discuss. I do like the savings, however.
