Could Progressive Really be this much Cheaper?

[Tilar]

I pay for 6 months at a time. $487 for 4 vehicles. All have uninsured motorist, I have full coverage on my suburban and the rest are state min plus a little extra for medical and uninsured motorist.

I've heard Progressive is cheaper than most, but I'm way too much into the whole political thing to even consider them. I don't like the organizations they contribute money to, so I won't spend my money with them.

I don't follow thier contributions, how about an update for those in the dark?

The man that runs Progressive is a guy by the name of Peter Lewis. His dad started the company.

Long story short...  Peter is in cahoots with George Soros in funding Onumbnuts and the liberal Agenda. He has also contributed millions of dollars to the ACLU, some of it he had ear-marked to sue schools that have a drug testing policy in force for workers and kids alike. He's also funneled a bunch of money into ACORN which managed to get 10's of thousands of dead people registered to vote last round. He's put money into a group that has tried a few times to get the Fox News network shut down. He's also put money into groups trying to do away with fines and jail time for drug convictions, mainly marijuana.

There is a lot of information out on the net about this pig fu@ker, just do a search on "Peter Lewis Progressive".

I agree ! they take the money for premiums each month but anyone filing a claim is out of luck ! just think of WHAT IT'S LIKE IF A DRIVER INSURED WITH THEM  THEY WILL STALL OR TRY TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR THE DAMAGE THEIR DRIVER DID. I have AAA and have been with them since 1972- 40 years WOW has it been THAT long ? man thet just got me thinking of where all that time went. AAA will go to bat for you anytime these cheapskate ins. co.s try to get off the hook. and i am sure progressive & the others want you to go to a body shop that will repair your vehicle with duct tape. You do get what you pay for.with progressive you watch your money "FLO OUT OF YOUR POCKET"

Wrong, George Soros owns progressive and he is a commie.

Maybe you didn't read what I wrote. Peter Lewis runs progressive and it was started by his father. George soros may now own it, but Peter Lewis is running the company. and yes I totally agree, Soros is a piece of shit.

After doing a little research, George Soros is NOT the major shareholder in progressive insurance, Peter Lewis still holds controlling interest.

I switched to progressive in about 96 because they had a better price then my then insurance company of state farm. I had a claim with state farm and they paid a far price and didn't drag it out. I then got broad sided in my van in 97 and progressive showed me news paper adds of vans like mine to determine value. They low balled me. I looked at two of these vans and they were pure junk and not even a fair comparison to what I lost. They held their ground on valve and could care less about me. I finally dumped them in 05 when I went shopping for insurance when I had to start adding my kids to my insurance. Its funny I ended up back with state farm. They were very reasonable to add my kids. When my daughter bought her first vehicle this year they moved her to her own policy at the rate we were paying for her.

My personal thoughts on that company and what they quoted me, are    And now, over 20 yrs later, they are seemingly the most intrusive of all companies

Right now I'm paying about $115 a month for a 2007 Chevy 2500 heavy duty Diesel 4x4 truck and a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L. Both full coverage with a $1,000 deductible. I'm only 23 but knock on wood no tickets no accidents.

That sounds way too good to be true especially at your age.

i agree but i guess it does depend on your location

are you on your own policy or your parents??

my son is 21, on his own policy and pays 180+ a mth for a 2012 v6 camaro, no tickets, no claims, but we are in a crime ridden neighborhood in the big city................

Own separate policy. Bought a house in May and have all three vehicles set up with USAA on my own policy's. I know I get the good driver discount for no accidents or tickets and I also get the good student discount but I'm not sure if they are going to let me keep that discount on there because I recently graduated with my business degree and am no longer in school.

It's $76 a month for the diesel full coverage and like $46 a month full coverage for the 06 gmc half ton.

Progressive seems an apt moniker.

The problem with most of these ins. co.s is that they spend too much time advertising on tv which costs alot to begin with. How are they paying for that , with customers money thats how. When it comes to actually having to pay a real claim, they start cheaping out and not giving the policy holder what they have paid for & worse yet, if one of their policy holders is at fault, they refuse to give the "victim' of their insured a hard time bynot wanting to pay for a quality repair but want to go CHEAP with substandard parts the "lowest bidder" on the estimates will use. THESE ins. co.s advertise way too much & my insurance co. AAA does NOT advertise and in fact, when progressive and all those others claim they have lower rates, they always compare with each other and you NEVER see them comparing to AAA.
