First off pick up the phone and call Progressive and let them know your going to cancel because of the increase. Inquire why and you might be surprised of your new rate they give you or why it was raised. Then Shop on...
I disagree. Don't call first and tell them you're going to cancel, because they WILL cancel you and then you won't have insurance at all.
Instead, do the second step first? Call, but inquire why the rate hike. Get the facts, then hang up with a "thank-you".
If you don't like the answer, THEN shop around. Find new insurance first. THEN call back and cancel! Otherwise, you may find yourself with no insurance for a while. That just would not be a good thing at all.
My suggestion: Check with Allstate insurance. At least give them a call and see what they can do for you. You can always say, "Thank-you" and hang up.
