Progressive’s new car grace period is 30 days, which means existing Progressive customers have 30 days to add a new car to their insurance policy and purchase any additional coverage it may need. During that grace period, your new car will be covered based on the Progressive insurance policy you already have. For example, if you currently only have liability coverage and get into an accident in a brand-new vehicle, your new car would not be covered for any damages.
If you’re currently a Progressive customer, you can call customer service at 1-866-749-7436 to add your new car and any additional coverage it may require.
If you are new to Progressive, you can get a quote by calling the same customer service line. You will be able to add your new vehicle to a new Progressive insurance policy within an hour, provided that you have the right information on hand. In order to add your new car to a Progressive policy, you will need to obtain the vehicle identification number (VIN), inform Progressive about what you will be using the car for, and add any additional drivers of that car to your policy.
