Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Progressive Corporation shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Progressive Corporation offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Progressive Corporation at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Progressive Corporation? Wrong! If the Progressive Corporation is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Progressive Corporation then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Progressive Corporation? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Progressive Corporation and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Progressive Corporation wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Progressive Corporation then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Progressive Corporation site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Progressive Corporation, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Progressive Corporation, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Progressive Corporation (PGR), Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, through its subsidiaries, provides personal automobile insurance, and other specialty property-casualty insurance and related services in the United States. The company operates in three segments: Personal Lines, Commercial Auto, and Other-
indemnity. The Personal Lines segment writes insurance for private passenger automobiles,
motorcycles,
boats, and
recreational vehicles through both an independent agency (law) channel and a direct channel. The Commercial Auto segment writes primary liability and physical damage insurance for automobiles and trucks owned by small businesses primarily through the independent agency channel. The Other-indemnity segment provides professional
liability insurance to community banks, principally directors, and officers liability insurance. It also provides insurance-related services, primarily providing policy issuance and claims adjusting services in 25(?) states for Commercial Auto Insurance Procedures/Plans.
The company was co-founded in
1937 by Jack Green and Joe Lewis and is headquartered in
Mayfield Village, Ohio. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=PGR
Industry information
Progressive is the third-largest auto insurer in the United States, in terms of active policies, behind
State Farm Insurance and Allstate and ahead of
GEICO and
Farmers Insurance Group. Progressive primarily offers its services under two brands: Progressive Direct® and Progressive Drive®. Progressive Direct is available through 1-800-PROGRESSIVE and the Progressive Web site while Progressive Drive® is available through independent agents and DriveInsurance.com where customers can quote their own policies and then contact an agent to complete the sale.
Marketing and operations
Progressive's marketing campaign is known for offering quotes of its competitors along with its own quote. It was the first major insurer to offer auto polices through the phone and through its Web site.
Immediate Response Vehicles (IRVs) used by Progressive are specially modified
Ford Explorers and Ford Escapes. Every major metropolitan area has a claim office while remote areas are serviced by licensed adjusters.
Basis of premium charges
Itemized insurance quotes can be viewed on the company website and insurance policies can be purchased online as well. The website allows the buyer to compare various coverage selections such as "minimum coverage," "economy coverage," "recommended coverage," "plus coverage," and a user defined "custom coverage." Insurance premiums quoted by the company take into account factors such as vehicle make and model, age and gender of driver and location. Violations and accidents found on the drivers history also may affect the premium charged. Progressive looks back 35 - 36 months depending on the state (39 months in New York) to determine eligible accidents and violations.
Concierge Service Centers
Progressive will work with local body shops and car dealerships to repair an insured's vehicle, or a vehicle damaged by an insured, at one of its 50 Concierge Service Centers. This is a free service for any Progressive insured or claimant who lives close enough to one of the facilities. A damaged vehicle can be taken to the Service Center the day following a claim being reported for an insured or after liability has been accepted for a claimant, based on schedule availability and convenience of the vehicle owner. There a rental vehicle can be obtained and Progressive will handle the entire repair process from that point forward.http://claims.progressive.com/concierge_service.aspx
