The bottom line
As an insurance broker, Progressive doesn’t underwrite or service the home insurance policies it sells. Instead, you’ll be placed with one of its partner insurance companies for all of your coverage, customer service, and claims filing needs.
Because of this, it’s difficult to gauge how much home insurance will cost when you purchase a policy through Progressive. You’ll also have to do your own due-diligence to know what type of customer service and claims filing experience you might have.
We recommend Progressive home insurance if you’re looking to purchase home and auto insurance at the same time to score a multi-policy discount. Otherwise, you’re likely better off working with an insurance carrier directly.

Ratings methodology
Price
4.3/5
Progressive’s price rating is based solely on the slew of discounts you may be able to qualify for from one of its partner companies.

Customer experience
3.6/5
Progressive earns a decent customer experience rating due to its above-average customer satisfaction score in J.D. Power’s 2022 digital experience study and average number of complaints for a company of its size in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) National Complaint Index Report.
Coverage options
4.0/5
