Progressive Auto Insurance
Has cheated me out of my money. Thieves! Rip-off!

We lived in upstate ny and our policy was $800 for 2 cars (6 months). We opened that policy in june and put down 2 months of insurance. Since our policy was for 6 months, we would only have 4 remaining payments and a "free month", which u actually pay for when u open the policy.

Well it is now september. We have been paying our premiums on time, and we have to move to maryland for my job. When we called progressive, the rep said she had to transfer us to a maryland rep. When the maryland rep gave us our new quote, he said that we would have to cancel the new york policy and open up a new policy for maryland. They would not be able to transfer policies even though it is the same cars and the same policy, just a different state. So we would have to cancel the new york policy, and I would lose the extra month that i paid for, and then put down another 2 months premium for the maryland policy.

They also said that if i enrolled in the automatic payment through my checking account, my policy would be $735. If i chose not to do that (because i don't like to pay overdraft charges to the bank) my policy would jump to $815. Now can anyone tell me why they would charge me an extra $80 just for not enrolling in the automated payment? This I find ridiculous.
