Default RE: progressive

I wish I could find a rate like that. Half the outfits in The Great White North won't even insure Harleys. Most of those that do are pirates, with insane deductibles. One outfit offered me a policy with a $2500 deductible. That was the LOWEST I could get from them. I asked them why, and they said it was 10% of what I'd valued the bike at, and that was their policy. I told them my wife had her Vulcan with them, and she had a $500 deductible. Their response? "Oh, that's because it isn't a Harley." Apparently the 10% policy only applies to Harley Davidson products. I finally found an outfit that was halfway reasonable. $788 a year, with a $1000 deductible. I'm thankful I'm 43 with a perfectly clean driving record...[:@]

Progressive is 2 1/2 times my current Geico policy and I have good credit and no accidents or tickets in the last 15 + years. It's all about where I live. Full coverage on 2 brand new bikes is about $800 a bike. More then my cars.....[:@]

I choose progressive as they were byfar the least expensive in my area! 250.00 a year - no one else came close!

Wow, they didn't give me that good of a deal...I think it was about $450 annually with only $1000 accessory insurance. Maybe it's something about being 26?

I had Farmer's Insurance, in Kansas, for years and was suppose to be getting their preferred rates. I switched to Progressive just before I moved to Florida and saved almost 50%.
When hurricane Charlie hit our area in 2004, my boat was totaled and I had a check from Progressive in 10 days. They also put me in their commercial. I had a couple of seconds non speaking spot, where I was shaking the regional director's hand in front of my house. I got $8,500 over the 2 years that they ran the commercial.

I have Progressive and had a minor claim. I'm very happy with them. AAA rates are high, doesn't not offer chrome coverage, does not have underinsured motorist, and does not have uninsured motorist higher than 20/40 in Michigan. You should purchase uninsured/underinsured liability as high as possible.
