Progressive sucks.....

money from everywhere.  I have been a Progrseeive customer for several years now.  Why did I go with them?  It wasn't Flo or the snappy commercials.  It was however price.  Quite honestly that's their market, the price shopper.  Now if I needed insurance for a premium situation I would have made a different choice of companies.  All I really need is basic insurance to meet California DMV's requirement for my two motorcycles.  I've now been riding for 40 years and had a motorcycle license for the last 31 years  

My Progressive rate for two motorcycles just jumped over 60 dollars for a year.  So I did some investigation with a competitor and much to my amazment it was only 80 dollars for 12 months.  Kind of a no brainer if you know what I mean right?  So I started the coverage today  I then called Progressive to cancel.  I wasn't wanting a refund for the next 27 days of prepaid coverage but thought I was entitiled to one.  When I got through eexplaining to the agent why I was cancelling and had listened to all of the amazement that they couldn't believe the price I got at the competitor, they told me I would be owing 12 dollars and change......I said what?  Theysaid yes, I said why?!  She did some research and told me that Progressive has a 30 dollar cancellation fee in California.  If I leave it in force and cancel at the end of the policy period then it doesn't apply..  Go figure  another no brainer but really?  I did inform her that I would not be returning to Progressive in the future even if they were cheaper because of this one fact. Of course she didn't care....lol  too big to care....
