When and Where to Show the Card
Use the card when you file a claim, contact customer service, or need to confirm coverage with a towing company or repair shop. Some third‑party services will accept the card in place of a full insurance policy statement. It is not a substitute for the actual policy document, but it can expedite verification.
Key Information on the Card
- Policy number – the unique identifier for your coverage.
- Vehicle identification number (VIN) – confirms the insured vehicle.
- Expiration date – indicates when the coverage period ends.
- Progressive logo and contact details – for quick reference.
How to Obtain a Physical Card
Log into your Progressive online account or mobile app. Navigate to the "Documents" or "ID Card" section and select "Print Physical Card." If you prefer a paper copy, you can request a mailed card through customer service. The card is free of charge.
Limitations and Best Practices
The card does not replace the policy document for legal or regulatory purposes. Keep the original policy letter and any endorsements in a safe place. If you lose the card, contact Progressive immediately to order a replacement. Verify the expiration date before using it for a claim to ensure coverage is active.
Integrating the Card into Your Digital Workflow
Many Progressive partners offer QR codes that link directly to your online policy. Scan the code to access the full document without printing. This digital alternative is handy for travelers who may not have the physical card on hand.
