Cons
Expensive rates for most drivers
Poor customer service
Progressive may be a good option for you if you qualify for some of their diverse discounts. However, Progressive also has relatively expensive rates, and its average customer satisfaction scores are worse than average.
Progressive’s customer satisfaction ratings from a J.D. Power 2023 study were poor in much of the country.
J.D. Power’s ratings are based on survey responses to questions about its billing process, policy information, claims, interactions, policy offerings and cost.
Meanwhile, a National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) report found Progressive received roughly twice the number of complaints compared to the average.
On the other hand, Progressive is currently seen as financially secure, with an A.M. Best rating of A+, so it can be relied on to pay out future claims.
