Progressive Insurance

[Brogers57]

Done a quote today and I noticed they don't give our Spyders a ABS discount?!? Anybody else notice this? They are supposed to be making a "ticket" to see if it can be fixed. Also noticed that I didn't get the early quote discount either! Either or the insurance is cheaper than Foremost currently.

I also did a quote with them and they are a lot cheaper than most. I will be moving my policy over.

I just did my insurance quote with them, have had them for the past 5 years. I found Alstate was about $350/ yr cheaper for the same coverage.

They quoted me 1100.00 a year! Went to the lizard and 330.00 a year full coverage.

I like the Geico Geko, for the last 12 years, coverage and price seem to be in line and or slightly cheaper.

Some people have talked about Dairyland in surance company, I may have to get a quote. Never hurts to look around.

Good Luck

Doesn't the word "Progressive," ring a bell or raise a red flag.

I pay less than $350/ yr with Progressive. Maybe we have different driving records.

You are right. Look up who supports the company.

[JayD]

I use Grange and spend about $250.00 per year. Part of package with home and auto.

Old news, and that situation is no longer a valid description...

If you live by price alone: you'll die by price alone.
Find yourself an Insurance Broker who ALSO rides, and ask them where they have their bikes insured.
It's all about the service after the claim...

Progressive is very motorcycle-friendly and the adjustor I have dealt with knows his stuff on Spyders. Not something you can always take for granted with companies that mainly insure cars and other property - just getting a knowledgeable inspection can be an issue.

I would recommend Rider Insurance, Progressive wanted $1,000 for my '15 RTL. I believe that I'm paying less than $600 for better coverage.

New to the Spyder world......Just bought a 2016 RT-S. I used Progressive (Thats who my autos are thru)I got multi discount and motorcycle class discount. I thought it was reasonable, about $650 for the year, Have had good luck with them.

Being an old fart, I saved money with my Home & Autos/Umbrella with Hartford. They don't do MCs so thru AARP I went with Foremost, later found out Geico was cheaper went with them. Later thru BlueKnight I found that Dairyland was even better. However, bundling my home & autos were not a better deal.

One issue with Dairyland, their online broker is Parker Stevens agency is manned and ran by total morons. They made a number of mistakes on the policy (even my name) and almost caused a cancellation by not getting all required info to the home office. (They do give an ABS discount). In the end I was talking with Corp and demanded that I become a "house" account, removing me from any contact with Parker Stevens.

The bottom line is that with all insurance, you should shop from time to time and I agree with others is that price alone should never be your deciding factor. Being in business for over 35 years, I have learned that you will make better choices if price is your last criteria.

[WilderThomas]

Have you checked out Geico yet? I had them when I had my '06 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic, and as the Harley was traded off, now have it on the '12 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5. No complaints.

[Texmac1011]

I have had homeowner's, auto and MC insurance with Progressive for many years. Rates aside, I can tell you that when I totaled my bike, Progressive paid the impound fees in 3 days and paid me for the bike in 10 days. Also, they paid me more for the bike than I could have sold it for. Good service goes a long ways in my book.

[Brogers57]

Just an update. Progressive resolved my issue with not getting the ABS discount. Saved me another $20. Not a lot but it's better in my pocket than theirs! Give em a call, they will have to make a ticket to the underwriters if they haven't fixed the whole system yet. Enjoy!

Don't forget about asking if they cover your gear (helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, etc.). It too will need to be replaced if involved in an accident. ATGATT!!!

[Papa Smurf]

Don't forget to add your accessory coverage! I have been with GEICO for three years. My annual premium with the is about $900 for both my Spyders.

I've had Progressive for my cars and previous Spyders. They took great care of me when I totaled my 2008 GS. I've now switched to Dairyland as they came in cheaper. We pay more in Michigan. With our no-fault, but we also have great medical coverage for accidents.
Also have Progressive for house insurance. They've been a good company to work with... and I see being progressive as a good thing. :-).
Insurance is like a snowblower... something you buy and hope to never use.

Same here. Progressive was several hundred dollars higher than Rider, as was everyone else. I went with Rider for about $700/yr for my 2015 RT-S.

[pitzerwm]

If you haven't looked at Dairyland, you might do that. I was at Foremost $700, then switched to Geico for $5 hundred something. I ended up at Dairyland for $400. This is a 2014 RTS, total coverage with $500 ded, Max liability, which I think is $500K, one ticket, forgot to renew one of my plates. One parking lot fender bender that they didn't count. SE Washington state, I know where you live makes a different, pop here about 350K.

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

As Bob has said many times, there are a lot of factors that figure into the pricing. I have Geico, 100/300/50, on my 2007 ATV and my 2014 RT. The total for both is $274/yr, $223 of it for the Spyder. I have my car and pickup with them also so a multi vehicle discount probably applies, although that is not shown in the cost breakdown.

Anti theft discount is $3 and safety training discount and mature rider are $29 each.
