That's how most things start. Harmless and benign.

This is directly from the Progressive website.. Just part of the paragraph but yea..

Snapshot Pricing. Snapshot data will be used in determining your rate for each enrolled vehicle. This may result in a discount or, in some cases (in certain states), a surcharge.


Here are the terms and conditions where that is located

Surcharge...is that like a...rate hike?

Insurance lingo for charge you a fee above what you're base premium is. So yea, I guess you could sort of say a rate hike.

True story.

PS, the more people jump on the bandwagon and allow them to do that stuff, the shorter the time before we all HAVE to do it just to get insurance.

Big brother. No thank you.

Import - I'm going to need diagrams and flow charts to properly understand your hatred. :) I thought they were a pretty reputable company?

KillerBee - I'm with you on that. It makes me feel a little dirty considering it. Maybe that's my conscious trying to tell me something.

Next month I'm going to ride my bike quite a bit so I was thinking of installing it then. It doesn't lock me into anything so it shouldn't hurt to atleast try I guess. If there was fine print somewhere where required it to be the car for the "savings" then I would tell them to blow it out their a$$.

Yep. Pretty soon they will enact some sort of homeland security law that allows them to mail you a ticket through some legal back-door that took another right from you.

Better?

Brilliant.

Very true. Anyone else notice ATT's little trick on Uverse? They start you off with a nice low introductory rate. Over a years term however, they will increase that rate multiple times, up until you want to say :gtfo2:. I do miss the fiber to street internet speeds. I <3 dedicated 20mbs.

Not that I'm aware of. I guess I'll know in 75 days.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with them, but I've had them for several years and they have been very good. I was backed into in a parking lot by someone else covered by Progressive and there was no problem whatsoever. Another time my wife's S2000 was damaged in a parking lot and the driver left without leaving a note. Again the coverage was very good, the only problem was they tried to fix the plastic bumper instead of replacing it. After I pointed out to poor quality or repair everything was taken care of.

I had State Farm coverage for over 20 years until I bought a Ford Lightning and they tried to charge double over a standard F150. My experience with Progressive has been at least as satisfying as with State Farm.

It's really hard to make blanket statements about insurance companies on the internet because laws vary state by state. For example, in Imports state they may be legally allowed to not pay out for something on private property but in your state, they're legally obligated to.

With that said, I had a towing company damage my VW during towing. Once I finally got the insurance info from the towing company, Progressive was great.
