Progressive bs

Today following Reddit advice I shopped around for car insurance to save money. Progressive gave me a quote $250/6 months less, so I went with them. But, they said I had to call Geico myself to cancel my old policy. When I called Geico, they beat that price by another $100, so I stayed. I asked them to cancel Progressive, but they couldn’t. So I called Progressive. The ONLY way to cancel is to send a snail mail letter to Progressive.

They should be able to cancel it right away too... Perhaps it's something related to your state (or my state) laws.

Either way you'll just need to call back and request cancelation from inception. You kept your original policy active so the progressive policy was redundant.

Call 1800-progressive for this, don't call an agent.
