Yes, using roadside assistance can increase your premium with Progressive when you renew your policy, depending on how often you call and what services you use. Progressive allows customers to make six roadside calls per year for towing, lockout services and more, but using all six calls may raise your insurance rate a bit. Progressive customer service does not provide specific information about their policies.
