The Progressive Group of Insurance Co.’s, the third largest auto insurance group in the country, is offering commercial auto insurance through Drive Insurance from Progressive local independent agents in North Carolina. Previously, Progressive’s commercial coverages were available in North Carolina only on a very limited basis through general agents, who provide wholesale insurance products to agents and brokers. Now, independent agents throughout the state will be able to offer Drive Commercial Auto directly to their customers.
“We’re very pleased to offer independent agents and small business owners in North Carolina another choice for their commercial auto needs,” said Dale Willis, North Carolina product manager, Drive Commercial Auto. “We think agents will find that our technology makes it very easy to do business with us. And for small business owners, our combination of competitive prices and superior service makes us a terrific choice.”
Drive Commercial Auto specializes in fulfilling the commercial auto insurance needs of small businesses, insuring fleets of up to 20 vehicles with policy limits of up to $1 million. The firm is already established in the light-local market.
Unlike most commercial auto carriers that depend on independent adjusters to write estimates for large vehicle and truck repairs, Drive Commercial Auto has in-house field specialists located throughout the country. The field specialist team continues Progressive’s commitment to superior claims service by offering in-depth knowledge and expertise in commercial auto repair estimates. The typical field specialist has 15 years of truck repair management experience, which helps ensure customers’ truck repairs are done right, and right away.
The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies has been in business since 1937. Progressive companies using the Drive brand make up a group that is the largest writer of auto insurance through independent agents and brokers in the U.S., based on premiums written. Drive is also writes commercial auto, motorcycle, boat and RV insurance.
