Two different measurements, shown together for context and deliberately not combined. Neither is what Progressive would quote you in South Dakota.

Why there is no third number here

Those two figures measure different things, and multiplying them together would not produce a third. No public dataset publishes what Progressive specifically charges in South Dakota — rate filings are not compiled that way, and any site showing you that number has estimated it. We would rather show you the two real figures and be clear about what they do not tell you. The only number that describes your situation is a quote on your own ZIP code, vehicle and driving record.

What’s different about Progressive in South Dakota

We did not find any South Dakota-specific restrictions published on Progressive’s own pages. That is not the same as there being none — carriers do not always publish every state variation, and availability can change between renewals. Confirm the specific discounts you are counting on when you quote.

What South Dakota requires you to carry

Minimum liability25/50/25

South Dakota's minimum liability requirement is 25/50/25: $25,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 of property damage. Minimums like these are set well below what a serious accident typically costs in medical care and vehicle repair.

Driving without insurance in South Dakota carries fines and other penalties that vary by circumstance, and can include vehicle impoundment or license suspension. A coverage lapse also tends to raise your next premium, sometimes for years afterward.

What moves a South Dakota premium most

·ZIP code and where the car sits overnight — the biggest single lever.
·Annual mileage, which most insurers weight heavily.
·Driving record over the last three years, especially at-fault claims.
·Continuous coverage history. Gaps cost more than most discounts save.
·Credit history, which factors into most insurers' models here.

How Progressive scores nationally

These are national measures — J.D. Power and NAIC do not publish per-state breakdowns at carrier level, so this scorecard describes Progressive as a company rather than its performance in South Dakota specifically.
