chief916 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Ok.... starting our 3rd year with progressive on insuring our TH. They've been doing well so far on coverage but now here's the rub...they just sent me a email to renew next month but now it's like a hundred and fifty dollars more. They did the same thing a couple of years ago on my Harley. When I called them back then and asked why the increase....they said some garbage about having to recoop from others who were not making their payments....whatever that means...I said no thanks and went another company that was referred to me from USAA..my auto company...cause they did not do motorcycles..to foremost ins by AARP. NOW........2 years later this progressive company raises my rates just the same way they did on my scooter. Can anyone give me the name of or recommend an insurance company that won't jerk me around and start jacking prices up on a depreciating item? I've had it with progressive when it comes to motor scooters and toy hauler. Would really appreciate any sound advice you have to offer. Obtw....I have a perfect driving record since I was 16 and am now 65 and excellent credit so they can't say I was a bum with bad creds and lousy driver skills. Thanks for any advice you all have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Miller specializes in RVs. I would give them a call. Just went with them and dropped progressive.

rynosback Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Sorry that you have had so much trouble with them. I have had my boat, bike and RVs insured with them for over 15 years with no issues. But it is good to shop your rates around every couple of years. 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckbear Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I have had this exact same issue with Progressive. When we first signed up, the rate was very good. The next year when renewal came around, they raised the rate considerably. No explanation. It seems this is common practice with them now.

Chuck It's pretty common practice in just about any business . Initial price is a 'come on' . Any following will be higher rate . Goes around , comes around .

Second Chance Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Are you eligible for USAA? They shunt motorhomes to Progressive, now, but still insure towables.

Av8r3400 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I work with auto insurance companies on a daily basis. By far the two worst insurance companies to deal with on getting a claim paid are GEICO and Progressive. Ironically these two seem to have the biggest advertising budget with characters, animation and childish antics.

Twotoes Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I use Miller also and they got me with Allied a division of Nationwide. I have 3 rentals, my RV, Jeep,a Harley and an Umbrella Policy with them. Rates do go up but i have stayed with them because i like everything with one company wrapped u with the Umbrella. When I was still practicing law the worst insurance companies to settle a claim were AAA, followed by Progressive. AAA even fought me while representing their own insured on uninsured motorist claims. 2015 Itasca Ellipse 42QD 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition 2021 Harley Street Glide Special Fulltimer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whj469 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Many of the auto/RV insurance companies, will, if you are switching to them from some other insurance company, give you a discount and then over time they will increase your rates when you renew. They must want your business for them to do that. All you can do is to shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quoted my truck and car and then they transferred me to a rep at Progressive for my 5ver qoute. I think they give us a discounted rate because of USAA. It also could vary depending on what state you are domiciles at. I am at out South Dakota. 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely correct but if you don't ask....how would you ever know. A lot of times when I see how you guys in TX and sd do things like the registration on you rigs I think...gosh...wish I could do that. I pulled my Harley from progressive 3 years ago cause they started jacking the rates up. I talked to usaa and they wouldn't cover the bike. When I bought my TH 3 yrs ago I was told by usaa that I had to go with progressive...so I did. Started out around $600. Per year the next it was up to around $700 and this year closer to $800 give or take. Then when Rob told me about usaa shunting the class As over to progressive I just had to call. The lady did indeed say what you just said and she said let me check a little further and then she asked me when I wanted to start the coverage. Now I've been with usaa a long time and I just figured that what was done was done but cause they had pushed me to progressive initially but now they've changed.

As I was speaking with a Progressive agent that is licensed in South Dakota. So they knew what state I was out of. 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
