I had a claim with Progressive a couple of years ago and it was easy and hassle free. I would have stayed with them had they offered homeowners insurance and umbrella policies.

When is that happening? I tried to sign up yesterday and they wouldn’t let me.

USAA just sent out notice that they will be opening up to ANYONE WHO HAS SERVED for any length of time in the military. Previously, it was only people who are currently serving or retired.

I like working with an agent, but not if they cannot beat a lower price. After calling around to companies AND agents, Progressive is still the cheapest as of today.

USAA is supposed to be great, but just contacted them and they havent opened it up to non-military.

PRogressive is good, but have you tried USAA? It’s even cheaper.

I think USAA has opened up their products to non military folks, so check em out. Their service is #1!

I have had Progressive for the past 3 years and have been really happy with them. My car has about 150,000 miles on it now and is at the point where parts are starting to wear out. Twice in the past 6 months, I have had to call Progressive’s road side assistance to tow my car. Both times, the process was easy, the customer service agents were helpful and polite, and (most importantly) the tow was FREE. The last time I called, a tow truck arrived within 10 minutes!

David,

We called up many (atleast 4) and did price comparisons, and dropped some of the insurance and upped the deductible.

Some other blog had good ideas on how to save on car insurance. Every bit helps.

Good to see you keep busy writing good stuff as usual.

I currently have USAA for the majority of my insurance needs and Progressive (who partners with USAA) for the vehicles (motorcycle and travel trailer) USAA doesnt cover.

Anytime a telemarketer calls to convince us to switch to anyone else, the moment they hear that we are with USAA, they say “Oh, we cant compete with them” and hang up.
