Progressive will stop offering renewals to all tow risks in CA effective 3.1.22.
“CA Commercial Auto: Non-renewal of Calif. Tow and Refrigerated Goods policies” was the subject line on a 12.22.21 email from Progressive to all agents nationwide, including Sierra Pacific. The email continues on…
“This month, we’ve made the difficult but necessary decision to no longer offer a program for Tow and Refrigerated Goods in our California Commercial Auto program. We will immediately begin issuing non-renewal notices for impacted risks with renewal dates in March and Beyond.”
If your California towing business is currently insured with Progressive and your policy started after 3.1.21, the date on your current auto ID card is likely your last day with Progressive. They are completely pulling out of the tow insurance market. The last commercial auto policy for more than a 1,000 tow companies in California will expire 3.1.23.
Non-renewing every policy in force was the last step in Progressive’s gradual exit from the towing market in California. On 10.1.19 Progressive stopped writing new business, 29 months later they stopped writing renewals.
With the market now in free fall, you need a tow insurance expert. Contact Sierra Pacific.
