The name is no accident. Go here for more about Lewis. Peter Lewis
Snopes on thin ice? Jeez, I flushed those trailer park liberal loons a long time go. I can do my own research.
In a nut shell, insurance companies are in business to collect your money and avoid settling legitimate claims at all costs...
Has anyone else noticed that Progressive advertises more then anyone else? You literally can’t escape watching Flo pop up on the screen for more then 1/2 hour, no matter how much you change the channel.
That being said: suppose Lewis had a “gentleman’s
agreement” that he’d continue to pay megabucks in advertising as long the media continues to slant their stories leftward. Anybody being contrary might wind up losing massive amounts of advertising revenue.
Lewis is a guilty liberal. Money means nothing to him,
ideology is everything. I think he advertises so heavily to
blackmail the media into covering things in alignment with his worldview.
Progressive and Ben&Jerry’s have been on my “no-buy” list for nigh two decades.
We did a price comparison and found that Erie was much more reasonable than Geico when it came to *good* levels of coverage, which is a must in the Philly area with all the uninsured and under-insured drivers.
When you tie all of your insurance (home, auto, etc..) into a reputable company like State Farm (which is what I have) you end up getting your auto insurance as cheap as these places like Progressive and Geico.
That said, I like Flo but hate the gecco. I was stationed in Hawaii for a while. Had my fill of gecco’s there....
Yes. There are dozens of insurance companies out there. No reason to give business to people who support an islamist who is destroying your country.
Anyone know the politics of Nationwide? They seem pretty solid to me. Better alternative than Progressive and Buffett’s Geico perhaps?
Not as much as that cell phone commercial where everything is being draped in orange canvas. I used to like that song. But it's on all the freakin' time!
I figure whoever writes their ads hates men. All the men in their ads are either gay, (the couple where one sold his watch to the other,) or else they’re wimpy nerds. Like the ad with the guy wearing the purse! And I saw one the other day where a grown man couldn’t buy Progressive Insurance because his mommy wouldn’t let him drive the car! I guess they don’t want males as customers.
A reputable company will do what they can to avoid paying false claims, but will not hesitate to pay legitimate claims. Anytime they refuse to pay on a legitimate claim they lose a customer and get that former customer complaining to all his friends about the poor treatment he received from the company.
The amount of advertising by Progressive and Geico makes me wonder if their approach may tend toward a willingness to cheat their customers on legitimate claims. They may figure that the advertising is a necessary cost to continually replace the customers they lose.
As a rule of thumb, I usually assume that the less advertising a company does, the more likely that the company emphasizes keeping existing customers happy instead of having to find ways of replacing the ones that left. The guy that did the roofing on my house does no advertising at all. Not even a yellow pages ad or a listing in the newspaper. His customers all come from word of mouth referrals, and he's always got more work than he can handle.
Name a reputable insurance company that has not committed fraud and or been in violation of law.
I don't know what the answer to your question would be, but I'd bet it would be easier finding an insurance company that hasn't commmitted fraud or been in violation of law than to find ANY person in this country that has never been in violation of some law.
I thought you were talking about reputable insurance companies, not individual people or their comparisons.
Peter Lewis appears to be one of those aggressive, talented executives who clawed his way to the top. You gotta be in awe of someone so determined to make it in the business world. /s
The first clue to stay away from this insurance company is in their name - PROGRESSIVE (duh!!).
