I've heard and seen both positive and negative things about Progressive, but as an Independent Agent I was left with a bad taste in my mouth with them. When Progressive first started marketing here in Texas they were signing up lot's of us Independents to try and market there product. We sold allot of Insurance with them. There prices where almost unbeatable, but we had to take lower commissions and strangely enough many of our policies that were submitted would not pass there underwriting department (not only are agency but I found this happing with hundreds of agencies here in Texas), in turn causing the policies to be canceled and us having a very upset customer, not to mention lost commission (wages). Yet within a few weeks the insured would receive a letter or phone call stating that Progressive would reinstate there policy at whatever amount, but instead of having us as an agent they would be with Progressive Direct which would save them allot of money on there insurance. Progressive’s business ethics just really left me irked not to mention in a financial bind. It was at that point that the quote “not to put all my eggs in one basket” really hit home.

I know a lot of people think it’s the agent or what not that have something to do with rates and so on, but that's not always true. Many of us do have a deep desire to help our customers get insurance that meet's there needs and like everyone else we should not be expected to work for free.

Anyway I've ranted on enough, check Allstate rates. Read up what you can with regards to different companies this should help you make the right choice.

Take care and good luck.

They have more money and resources than Geico, AND All-State put together.

They may be more expensive (just a guess) BUT.. they are good at where it matters: Customer Service, and Claims Resolution. None better.

Good Luck.
