Expert Guidance vs. Name Your Price

Progressive Alternative in Bergen County

Why guess your coverage needs when you can have an expert find you better protection for less?

The Problem with "Name Your Price"

Progressive's famous "Name Your Price" tool puts the burden on you to figure out complex insurance decisions. But how can you know what coverage you need without years of insurance expertise? This DIY approach often leads to dangerous gaps in coverage or overpaying for protection you don't need. At Midland Insurance, we believe you deserve expert guidance to make these critical decisions.

What Progressive Doesn't Want You to Know

  • Their snapshot device can actually increase your rates based on driving habits
  • Bundle discounts are often less than what we find with separate carriers
  • Their claims process prioritizes efficiency over fair settlements
  • You can't visit a local office to resolve complex issues
  • Their agents can only sell Progressive products, limiting your options
  • Algorithm-based pricing misses local factors that could save you money
  • You're just a policy number in their massive system
  • No one reviews your coverage unless you ask

The Midland Advantage

Instead of making you guess your coverage needs, we provide expert analysis of your specific situation. Our agents understand Bergen County's unique risks and can recommend the exact protection you need—often for less than Progressive charges. We shop multiple carriers to find your best rate, provide ongoing policy reviews, and most importantly, we're here when you need us. No apps, no algorithms—just experienced professionals dedicated to protecting what matters most to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Midland's pricing compare to Progressive's "Name Your Price" tool?

While Progressive limits you to their rates and makes you sacrifice coverage for price, we shop multiple carriers to find better coverage at competitive prices. Our clients typically save money while getting superior protection because we know which carriers offer the best rates for your specific situation.

What about Progressive's Snapshot discount program?

Snapshot can actually increase your rates if the device determines you're a higher risk. We find you discounts based on your actual profile, not invasive monitoring. Many of our carriers offer better safe driver discounts without tracking your every move.

Is switching from Progressive complicated?

Not at all! We handle the entire process, including timing the switch to avoid any lapse in coverage. We'll review your current Progressive policy, find better options, and manage all the paperwork. Most switches take less than 30 minutes.

Can Midland match Progressive's online tools and app?

While we offer 24/7 online policy access and digital ID cards, we provide something better than an app—a dedicated agent who knows your name. When you need help, you talk to a real person who understands your situation, not navigate through app menus.

Why is working with an independent agent better than Progressive?

Progressive can only offer their own products and prices. As an independent agency, we represent multiple insurance carriers, allowing us to find the best combination of coverage and price for your specific needs. Plus, we provide ongoing service and advocacy that Progressive's model simply can't match.
