Progressive car insurance in Washington

Progressive writes personal auto insurance in Washington. But one thing works differently here than the national advertising suggests — the details are below.

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

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 Washington — 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 Washington

Insurers advertise nationally and sell state by state. These are the differences Progressive publishes for Washington — worth knowing before you assume an advertised discount applies to you.

Good student discount

The good student discount starts lower here than Progressive's published 5% national starting point.

What Washington requires you to carry

Minimum liability25/50/10

Washington's minimum liability requirement is 25/50/10: $25,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 per accident, and $10,000 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 Washington 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 Washington 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These are national measures — J.D. Power and NAIC do not publish per-state breakdowns at carrier level, so this scorecard describes Progressive as a company rather than its performance in Washington specifically.
