Why drivers pick Progressive

Snapshot telematics commonly delivers 10-30% discounts for low-mileage and conservative drivers — the deepest savings in the market for usage-based pricing.

Where Progressive falls short

Initial quotes for high-risk drivers (poor credit, recent claims) often run above peer carriers; competitive renewal pricing is more important than initial savings here.

Idaho minimum coverage requirements

  • Bodily Injury Liability: 25/50 thousand per person / per accident
  • Property Damage Liability: $15K

One of the cheapest states — low population density and low litigation rates keep premiums down.
