Driver & Household Info
The customer is a Colorado resident who carries his auto policy through Progressive, managed by A Plus Insurance. He lives in Manitou Springs and keeps his vehicle insured for everyday use. Like many drivers, he relied on the convenience of auto-pay to manage his monthly premium, but a change in cards caused a missed payment. With his renewal date approaching, he wanted to make sure coverage would continue without interruption.
Vehicle Details
While the call focused primarily on billing, the insured vehicle is used for personal transportation. Nothing in the conversation suggested unusual use such as rideshare or delivery, so the standard personal-use policy terms remained in place. The goal was simple keep the policy active and ensure proof of coverage was uninterrupted.
Coverage Selected
The policy continued with the same coverage selections the customer had previously chosen. Progressive’s liability policy requirements were met, and the renewal kept all protections in place. No additional optional coverages such as roadside, MedPay, or comprehensive were added during this call. The focus was on resolving the billing issue quickly and locking in continuous coverage.
Driving History
The call did not involve discussion of driving history, accidents, or tickets. Since this was a renewal, the coverage terms and premium were already set. The issue at hand was making the payment to keep the renewal active.
Discounts
The main advantage for the customer was tied to auto-pay. By confirming his new card would be used for future billing, he ensured the convenience of automated payments and in many cases, carriers like Progressive offer small discounts for auto-pay or paperless billing. Having this set up also removes the risk of missing a payment due date.
Ask your agent if your carrier provides auto-pay or paperless discounts. Even a small savings adds up over the life of a policy.
Final Rate & Terms
The renewal premium due was $175.12. The agent confirmed the total with the customer and processed a manual payment by phone using the updated card. Once the payment was confirmed, the new card information was also saved for future auto-pay drafts.
To finalize the change, the agency sent the customer an auto-pay authorization form by email. With a quick e-signature, the customer’s new card was set as the default payment method. This ensured that future premiums would be automatically deducted and no further lapses would occur. So no more Missed Auto-Pay days.
The entire process from pulling up the policy, confirming the address, processing the payment, and sending the authorization form took less than 10 minutes. The customer left the call with confidence that his insurance remained active and his new billing method was secure.
