Progressive Adds Commercial Truck Information

As Progressive Insurance's driveinsurance.com Web site recorded its one-millionth visitor in late September, the carrier recently enhanced the site's agent- locater feature to supply information for customers interested in commercial truck insurance. The Web site previously listed agencies offering personal auto, motorcycle, boat, RV, and commercial auto insurance. Consumers seeking an agency selling commercial auto also will get a list of agencies with commercial truck insurance specialists highlighted by a truck icon.

Consumers can use “Find an Agent” to search for an agency by keying in criteria as broad as a ZIP Code or as specific as an insurance product. The Web site was introduced in December 2004 as part of the launch of Progressive's Drive brand, which promotes the more than 30,000 independent agencies that sell Drive Insurance products across the country.

The Web site also allows customers to log in to the policy management feature to view and print policy documents and ID cards, update personal information, and quote policy changes.

“One million visitors is a pretty good indicator to us Drive is getting the message out to consumers about the benefits of doing business with independent agents and brokers,” says Drive group president Bob Williams. “Our plan is to continue to enhance the site to make it even more visible and more popular and a greater tool for our agents and brokers.”
