Rates generally decrease as you enter your 20s, with Progressive averaging $186. The downward trend continues through your 30s at an average of $156 and into your 40s at $145.

The most favorable rates typically come in your 50s and 60s, with monthly averages of $119 and $101, respectively.

DUI convictions result in the steepest increases, with average monthly costs reaching $268. While these numbers reflect standard pricing for high-risk drivers, your actual rate will vary based on the incident's recency and other individual rating factors.

Where credit-based pricing is permitted, Progressive adjusts premiums according to your credit tier. Those with excellent credit average $141 per month, while good credit holders pay slightly more at $159.

Drivers with average credit see monthly premiums around $168. Poor credit scores lead to average monthly costs of $200.

These figures demonstrate credit's substantial impact on monthly premiums, though your final rate will incorporate other personal factors as well.

Excellent	$141	$164
Good	$159	$179

FAQs

Does Progressive offer accident forgiveness?

Progressive provides two tiers of accident forgiveness coverage. Small accident forgiveness automatically applies to claims under $500 without raising your premium. Large accident forgiveness requires at least five years of continuous coverage with Progressive and a clean driving record during that period, which forgives your first at-fault accident over $500. You can also purchase additional accident forgiveness for a fee in most states, allowing one forgiven accident per policy period.

What discounts does Progressive offer?

Progressive provides numerous ways to reduce your premium through discounts like multi-policy bundling, multi-car, continuous insurance, homeowner, and good student discounts. Their Snapshot telematics program can personalize your rate based on actual driving behaviors such as hard braking, mileage, and time of day you drive. On average, Snapshot participants save around $231 annually, though your savings depend on your individual driving habits and the program's assessment of your risk level.

Is Progressive cheaper than other car insurance companies?

Progressive might offer lower pricing than some major carriers, particularly for drivers with DUIs or accidents on their records. However, other carriers could have lower premiums for drivers with clean records. Since each insurer uses its own methodology to calculate rates based on factors like your location, driving history, and vehicle type, your best option is to compare quotes from multiple companies to find the most competitive rate for your specific situation.
