Gather Required Information
Before you submit, have these items ready: driver's license, vehicle registration, photos of damage, police report number (if filed), and any witness contact details. The app lets you attach photos directly from your camera roll, which speeds up verification.
Choose Your Submission Method
Progressive offers three mobile‑friendly ways to submit a claim:
- In‑app claim form – fastest, auto‑populates policy data.
- Mobile web portal – works on any browser, good for tablets.
- Phone call – use the "Claims" button in the app to dial a dedicated line.
What Happens After You Submit
Within minutes, the system sends a confirmation email and a claim number. An adjuster may contact you via the app's messaging feature or call you directly. Keep the app open; push notifications alert you to any status change, which is essential for mobile‑first users who check updates on the go.
Tips for a Smooth Process
• Take clear, well‑lit photos of all damage angles.• Record a short video of the scene to capture context that photos miss.• If you have a rental car, note the rental‑coverage option in the claim form.• Use the app's "Help Center" for quick answers to common questions without leaving the claim screen.
