‘In 1995, when the Internet was just gaining popularity, Progressive stepped ahead of the competition and became the first major auto insurer in the world to launch a Web site. The site was primarily informational, but it soon became more interactive. By 1996, consumers could obtain comparison rates online, and by 1997, they could buy auto insurance policies online in real time.nThe site has continually evolved with technology, and today, customers can use the following features, 24/7, on Progressive’s Web sites:nPolicy Service and Management — Policyholders can log in to update information, make payments, get vehicle recall information and more.nOnline Claims Reporting — Policyholders can log in to report auto accidents and glass claims in minutes. For glass claims, you can show us what type of glass damage occurred using our unique visual reporting tool. For claims other than glass, you may even have the option to schedule an appointment at a claims service center or a network repair shop when you report your claim.nRate Ticker — Our scrolling rate ticker displays actual Progressive Direct auto insurance rates side-by-side with those of other top auto insurers.nAgent Locator — If you prefer to buy insurance through an agent, you can search for local independent insurance agents by entering your ZIP code or by selecting the type of insurance you’d like to buy.nTalk to Me — Our online customer service feature uses Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to allow online shoppers who have questions about their Progressive Direct auto insurance quote to click on an icon and talk to a representative over the Internet or have a representative call them directly.nInstant Quotes — Whether you want to purchase online or through an agent, you can receive online insurance quotes for your vehicles. Prices vary based on how our customers choose to buy.nAnd that’s not all. With Progressive, you can insure more than just your car — we offer insurance policies for motorcycles, boats/PWC, RVs, business vehicles, snowmobiles and Segway® HTs. We can also assist in helping you find homeowners insurance.’
