  • Multi‑policy discount for bundling auto with home or renters insurance.
  • Safe driver discount for a clean record.
  • Telematics or usage‑based discount if you're open to installing a device.

How to Get an Accurate Quote

  • Your driver's license and vehicle registration.
  • Vehicle make, model, year, and mileage.
  • Driving history, including accidents and tickets.

Use Progressive's online estimator, or contact a local agent in Portage to discuss coverage levels and deductible choices. Compare the estimated premium with at least two other insurers to ensure competitiveness.

Understanding Wisconsin State Requirements

Wisconsin requires minimum liability limits of $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 property damage. Progressive's policies can be adjusted to meet these limits and add optional coverages as needed.
