Progressive Insurance
Charges higher premium after retiring from work and no longer commuting 100 miles a week to work

Nevada drivers, beware of Progressive Insurance! I retired from work a year and a half ago.

I was driving 100 miles a week commute. I notified Progressive and they informed me my rate would stay the same. What? I'm no longer commuting, thus risks for both myself and progressive are greatly lowered, yet I get no kind of discount.

Then, the next time I come up for renewal, they increase my premium. I've had no accidents, and no tickets since 1982.

I asked them why the increase? They said a general rate increase was accepted by the Nevada Division of Insurance. Nice to know the government bureaucrats favor billion dollar insurance companies that give out thousands in bonuses to their employees over members of the driving public who are not even allowed public input at rate increase hearings.

In addition, we the driving insured, pay to have Progressive put their name on the Cleveland Indians ballpark through our premiums. It will always be the Jake to me, not progressive Field.

Don't let them sucker you in with their idiotic commercials. They use typical bait and switch techniques. They'll give you a teaser rate at first to think you're saving thousands of dollars on car insurance, and then they'll jack you up later for no reason with the blessings of state insurance regulators who never tell them no.
