Whenever I compared Progressive auto to other insurers, they were either the same as or more expensive, so I don't know what all the hoopla was about, except they had an extensive marketing campaign. Same with Geiko, whom I learned the hard way is deceptive about their 'save 15%' marketing gimmick.
Anyway, Progressive's un-jabbed surcharge doesn't surprise me as the same was done to smokers back in the 1990s.
Funny, my experience has been pretty much Progressive always having the best rate by far for me except for a bad time in life, due to worse decisions that reflected on my driving record, I switched to another company. Now that several things have dropped of my record, Progressive is back to the cheapest.
I discovered that location can affect the insurance rate, so that could have something to do with the differences we experienced. Also the type of vehicle being insured if one is carrying collision and comprehensive. I've found that Farmers is the least expensive by far as it literally cut my annual expense in half.
Yes, location makes a huge difference, even within the same state. I use my sisters address in a more rural area which saves me about, I'm not sure now but when I "moved" a few years back, it was $100 cheaper a month. That was a fairly infraction heavy driving record however, and now being more or less clean would probably be a negligible difference.
