Is GEICO more affordable than Progressive in Colorado?
Right now, yes, it certainly seems over the past few months that GEICO has been beating Progressive.
But that could change at any time.
That’s why you should connect with independent agent CIS so we can run some competitive quotes for you.
There’s nothing wrong with keeping Flo and the Gecko on their toes:)
On top of pricing, both companies also compete for flexibility of payments and discounts for paid in full policies.
You can also choose quarterly, 9 month or monthly.
If you do choose monthly, be sure to get yourself on an EFT, Electronic Funds Transfer agreement so that monies are automatically withdrawn the same time each month.
That way you won’t get stuck on the road with a missed payment.
For both Progressive and GEICO, your renewal offers are negatively impacted when you have a late payment on your record.
While neither company offers a no down payment option, both offer credit card payments and access to pay through their apps.
