All that stuff happens day in and day out every year. It's pretty obvioius that their original quote was a teaser rate that was not advertised as such. Oh well, that's why competition is a good thing.

I've had bth my car insured with Progressive the past 5 years, and that's never happened to me. In fact my rate when DOWN few bucks this past renewal.

Plus I had to make two claims in a month, one for my Jeep and one for the Bird, and both times they cut me a check right on the spot. In fact I kinda made out on my Jeep...my rusty steel wheels with half worn mud tires were stolen, and after the check, a new set of 31" Goodyears on alloys only cost me 250 out of pocket.

And no complaints with customer service....in fact everyone I dealt with was quite good.

I got some other quotes that were in the same range. Next thing I'll do is call Progressive and see what their explanation is.
