If you’re shopping for auto insurance in Denver, you’ll usually see Progressive in the mix. This guide breaks down why — and how A Plus Insurance helps you compare rates and coverage so you can pick what fits.

- Reason 4: Digital tools + proof of insurance access
- Reason 5: Claims process & support
- Reason 6: Bundling home / renters / multi policy
- Reason 7: Fits different driver profiles

Reason 1: Competitive rates (when your profile matches)
Car insurance rates are driven by risk signals: credit-based insurance factors (where allowed), claims history, violations, accidents, vehicle type, and how you use the vehicle (commute vs pleasure). When those line up well, Progressive often prices aggressively. If you’re trying to find the cheapest option, the best move is getting an insurance quote and comparing it side-by-side.
How we help you shop smarter
Use our quote tool or call us. We’ll compare multiple policies and explain what changes your premium month-to-month (renewal adjustments, rating updates, and coverage changes).
Reason 2: Discounts that can stack
Most people miss discounts. The most common ones: multi policy, multiple vehicles, safe driving programs (like snapshot-style telematics), paid-in-full, paperless, and continuous coverage. If you’ve had a gap, your rate can jump — even if you’re a careful driver.
Discount checklist (ask about these)
- Safe driver / low violations / low accidents
- Multi policy (auto + home insurance or renters)
- Multiple vehicles on one policy
- Telematics / snapshot-style programs
- Pay-in-full vs monthly
Reason 3: Flexible coverage options
A lot of rate frustration comes from not realizing what you selected: liability only vs full coverage (comprehensive + collision), your deductible, and add-ons like roadside or rental. If the vehicle is financed, lenders usually require full coverage.
Simple rule
If you can’t afford to replace the vehicle out-of-pocket, full coverage usually makes sense. If it’s an older car and you’re focused on price, liability only might fit — but your risk goes up. Either way, we’ll explain the tradeoffs before you buy.
Reason 4: Digital tools and fast access to ID cards
People like quick access to id cards, billing, and policy service tools. If you need proof of insurance fast (DMV, traffic stop, dealership, or lease), digital access helps.
Reason 5: Claims process and support
Claims are where a policy gets tested. The key is setting expectations: what’s your deductible, what’s covered, what’s excluded, and how to document the loss. We also help you understand the process so you’re not guessing during a stressful moment.
Reason 6: Bundling across lines
Bundling can cut your premium — especially when you combine auto insurance with homeowners insurance, renters insurance, or even business insurance depending on your situation. See: Business insurance and homeowners insurance.
Reason 7: Works for different driver profiles
Whether you’re a clean record driver, a household with teen drivers, or someone rebuilding after tickets, different insurers weigh things differently. That’s why comparing carriers matters. If you need specialty filing in another state, see our SR22 insurance hub.
2026 sample rate table (illustrative only)
These are example ranges to explain pricing structure — your actual estimate depends on your Driver profile, vehicle, credit factors, coverage, deductible, and local rating area.
| Profile | Liability Only (monthly) | Full Coverage (monthly) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean record, older vehicle | $90–$140 | $140–$220 | Higher deductible often lowers premium |
| 1 at-fault accident or major violation | $140–$220 | $220–$340 | Accidents/violations can raise rates for years |
| Young driver in household | $160–$260 | $260–$420 | Vehicle choice matters a lot |
| High-risk history / prior lapse | $180–$320 | $300–$520 | Continuous coverage helps stabilize rates |

Frequently Asked Questions
These quick answers are written to help you understand why your premium changes and how to lower it by improving risk factors, selecting the right coverage, and comparing policies across insurance companies.
Why did my car insurance go up even with no accidents?
Common reasons: carrier-wide rate filings, inflation in repair costs, local claim frequency changes, credit-based insurance factors updates, or changes in your rating tier. Even if you didn’t file a claim, the market can shift.
Does paying monthly cost more than paying in full?
Often, yes. Many policies add installment fees or reduce discounts when you don’t pay in full. If you can swing it, paying the premium upfront can reduce your total cost for the month-to-month period.
What changes make the biggest difference in my rate?
Violations, accidents, coverage lapses, moving zip codes, switching to full coverage, and changing vehicles are usually the biggest movers. Deductible changes can also shift the Price quickly.
Can I lower my rate without cutting coverage?
Sometimes. Ask about discounts, increase the deductible (if you can afford it), improve credit factors over time, and compare carriers. Also consider bundling: homeowners insurance or Business insurance can help reduce overall costs.
Do you help with other types of insurance too?
Yes — we can quote multiple lines. Start with auto insurance, then compare coverage options for motorcycle / RV, and more. If you need SR-22 guidance in another state, visit SR22 states.
