Unexpectedly Affordable Auto Insurance Quote from Progressive
Navigating auto insurance options can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when trying to find the best deal. Recently, I encountered a surprising development that highlights just how much prices can vary between providers.
My current insurer, NJM, attempted to increase my premium by a hefty 36%. To give some context, I have a clean driving record—no accidents, no tickets, and I’ve never filed a claim. My vehicle is approximately 12 years old, and I generally drive less than 10,000 miles annually. Previously, I was paying around $125 per month for solid coverage, but NJM’s new quote bumps that up to $170—quite a significant hike.
In search of better rates, I decided to gather a quote from Progressive. Expecting it might be comparable to my current premium, I was stunned to see an initial indication of about $30 per month. After double-checking the details, it turned out to be $31 upfront, with a subsequent monthly cost of around $61. Even if this figure adjusts slightly after an official quote, it’s remarkably lower than what I am currently paying.
This experience serves as a reminder of how competitive insurance pricing can be and the importance of shopping around. If you’re in a similar situation, it’s definitely worth exploring multiple providers to find the most cost-effective coverage for your needs.
