Progressive cut my rate in half

I was with Geico for years. Every year there rates keep going up, years after year. I had no claims in all those years. So I called progressive, they quoted me a rate a lot lower then Geico, and more coverage to boot. And now after a year on Progressive, there rates are going up. So here's the deal. Insurance quote you a lower rate to get you to switch to there company and in a year or two the rates start going up, and you've had a claims. it's a game they all play. So when my policy comes due next year I'll looking to see if there's a cheaper company out there I can switch too. And believe me, I hate switching every year or two.

You pretty much sum it up.

I've had Progressive since my coach was new. My original premium as $1155 per year, this year it was $2144, almost double. It has increased on the avg of $141 a year.

I like Progressive, but in light of the fact I've had zero claims, pay the whole year in full in one payment, and have an excellent credit rating, I can no longer support keeping them. Granted they've given me "risk free" status that removes my deductible, but that's of no comfort when the premium comes due.

So, ... this year my money will go to another provider. And the game starts.
