Progressive does not advertise a marriage discount, though married drivers do pay less for Progressive car insurance than single drivers, on average. For example, in California, a 45-year-old married driver with a good record on the road pays around 29% less for Progressive coverage than the same driver without a spouse. Married people may also qualify for more Progressive discounts, like the multi-vehicle and multi-policy discounts.

You could even exclude your spouse as a driver on the policy, but that would mean your spouse won’t...

Yes. You can remove your spouse from your car insurance policy, whether you live in separate homes, are getting a divorce, or just want to maintain your own auto insurance policies.
