Went through something similar a couple years back—ended up choosing Progressive for my SR-22. Geico was close, but Progressive's online tools made managing payments and docs easier. Smaller insurers can be good, but yeah, gotta watch those details closely...
Went with Geico myself for an SR-22 a while back. Progressive's online stuff is solid, but Geico's customer service reps were super helpful walking me through the paperwork step-by-step. Either way, just double-check the fine print—especially renewal terms... learned that one the hard way.
Interesting you mention Geico's customer service—did they charge extra fees for helping with the paperwork, or was that included in your premium? I've heard mixed things about Progressive's renewal hikes, too... did you notice if Geico was more transparent about future rate increases? I'm planning a big cross-country trip soon, so trying to avoid any surprises down the road.
