Imagining grandma holding hot coffee—that's a new one, haha. But seriously, do you feel like Snapshot actually changed your driving habits long-term, or was it more of a temporary adjustment while you knew you were being monitored? I've always wondered if these telematics programs lead to lasting improvements or if people just revert back once the discount is locked in. Also curious—did you notice any difference in how Progressive handled customer service or claims compared to Geico? I've heard mixed things about both here in NY, especially when it comes to responsiveness after an accident. Glad you're feeling safer though... peace of mind definitely counts for something.
Honestly, Snapshot was mostly me just playing nice while Big Brother was watching, lol. Once that discount hit, my inner Mario Kart came right back. Can't speak for Geico, but Progressive was chill after my fender bender—quick responses, zero hassle. Could've just gotten lucky though...
Had a similar experience with Progressive after a minor scrape last winter—honestly, they made it pretty painless. Geico tends to be solid too, but Progressive's claims process felt smoother overall. Might've just been my luck though... insurance is always a bit of roulette, haha.
"insurance is always a bit of roulette, haha."
Haha, totally feeling this right now as someone just getting started with driving. I've been researching both Geico and Progressive lately, and honestly, it's pretty overwhelming. Interesting to hear your experience with Progressive was smooth—I keep hearing mixed things about both companies.
- Did you find Progressive's app or online system easier to navigate during the claim?
- Any noticeable difference in customer support between the two?
I guess at the end of the day it might come down to luck, like you said...but glad your scrape wasn't too much hassle. Gives me some hope for when I inevitably have my first little mishap (fingers crossed it's minor!).
Went through something similar last year when I switched to Progressive. Had a minor fender-bender with my '72 Mustang (ugh...), and their app made uploading pics and tracking the claim pretty painless. Customer support was decent—not amazing, but got the job done without headaches.
