Will Progressive drop me?

I recently signed up for car insurance with Progressive, but someone just told me your insurer might drop you if they feel like it. Is this true? Will Progressive drop me?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Like any insurer,
Progressive
 has the right to drop you under certain circumstances and with warning. Here are a few scenarios that might cause Progressive to cancel or not renew your policy:
  • You’ve earned several tickets in a short time and have been deemed a
    high-risk driver
  • You didn’t pay your premium
  • You’ve filed three or more claims within your policy term
  • You’ve gotten into multiple accidents in a three-year window
  • You were convicted of a
    DUI
  • Your
    license was suspended or revoked
  • You committed
    insurance fraud
While it may seem scary that your insurance company can choose to discontinue your policy, know that they are always legally bound to inform you of any potential cancellation ahead of time. Progressive can’t drop you without warning, which can give you time to secure a new policy or reinstate your policy and avoid having a
lapse in your coverage
.
Remember: most drivers are required by law to meet
state minimum insurance coverages
 at all times. Letting your insurance lapse can therefore prohibit you from driving privileges, and increase your insurance rates significantly!

Will Metromile file my SR-22?
Money has been a little tight lately, and I let my car insurance policy lapse since I don’t drive a lot. Unfortunately, I got caught driving uninsured—and now I need to get insurance and an SR-22. I think Metromile might be a good choice, but will they file an SR-22?

What’s the best year for a used Porsche Boxster?
I’ve been in love with Porsches since childhood, and now I’m finally going to buy one. I’m looking at the Porsche Boxster, but shopping for one is confusing. What’s a 986? Why is the 718 newer but has a smaller number? And what’s the best year for a used Porsche Boxster?
