Online Quote Comparison

Progressive makes it easy to compare policies from multiple insurers through its HomeQuote Explorer^® tool. Once you submit the necessary information, you'll be able to view homeowners policy options and compare coverage offered alongside insurance premium rates.

This tool makes it easier to find a coverage option that meets your needs and fits your budget.

Helpful Savings Opportunities

Progressive offers many ways to save with discounts and helpful features. Progressive offers discounts on the premium for getting a quote in advance, home safety features, buying a new home, paying the 12-month policy at once, going paperless, and new construction on your home.

These discount offerings are common for a homeowners insurance company. However, other insurers offer discounts for being claims-free for a certain amount of time, and Progressive's list doesn't mention a similar discount.

In addition to the above discounts, Progressive also offers a discount for bundling home and car insurance.  

Another advantage of bundling is that if you file a claim that applies to both policies, you only have to pay one deductible. This feature helps you save money on out-of-pocket costs when you use your policy.

Progressive also recommends contractors in the event of a claim. In some cases, using these recommended contractors can help you get better prices for repairs.

Educational Information

Progressive offers helpful information on its site about home insurance including different types of coverage and which perils are covered. You can also get information on the details necessary for viewing quotes on insurance rates.

Insufficient Customer Insight

Progressive home insurance reviews are few on BestCompany.com, so conclusions about the customer experience are limited. However, it's promising that reviews are largely positive.

Unclear Financial Strength

High financial strength ratings show that an insurance provider is financially stable and likely to be able to meet its claims obligations. Progressive mentions its high financial strength ratings for auto insurance, but it's uncertain whether these high ratings would apply to its home insurance policies.

Even if you buy home insurance from another carrier, you'll want to double check the financial strength ratings before making a purchase.

Limited Discounts

Progressive offers many savings opportunities on home insurance coverage. However, many home insurance companies offer claims-free discounts for policyholders. Progressive's website doesn't mention this discount. If you're interested in receiving this kind of discount, you may need to consider another home insurance company.
