    1

    Download and sign in to the Progressive app

    ~18s
    Search for "Progressive" in your phone's app store and download the official app. Open it and tap "Log In." Enter your Progressive account email and password. If you have never logged in online, tap "Create Account" and use your policy number, which appears on any bill or letter from Progressive.
    2

    View your policy and ID card

    ~24s
    After signing in, your active policies appear on the home screen. Tap your auto policy to see coverage details. Look for "ID Card" to pull up your digital insurance card. This card shows all the information law enforcement or another driver would need. It is accepted in all 50 states.

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: Save a screenshot of your ID card so it is accessible even when you have no cell signal.

    3

    Pay your premium

    ~18s
    Tap the "Payments" tab to see your current balance and payment history. Tap "Make a Payment" to enter your bank account or card information. You can also enroll in automatic payments so Progressive drafts the amount from your account on a set date each month — this can help you avoid late fees.
    4

    Start a claim after an accident

    ~24s
    Tap "Report an Accident" or "File a Claim" from the home screen. The app will ask you what happened, when, and where. You can upload photos of your car and any other vehicles involved. After submitting, you receive a claim number and can check updates inside the app.

    Warning

    Only report the facts you know for certain. Do not guess about fault or damages — leave those assessments to the claims adjuster.

    5

    Check your Snapshot discount eligibility

    ~25s
    Tap "Snapshot" from the menu if you want to explore earning a safe driver discount. The app explains how the program works and lets you sign up. Once enrolled, Progressive tracks certain driving behaviors for a set period, then calculates a discount based on your results.

    Quick Tip

    Quick Tip: Progressive's Snapshot discount can save you up to 30% on your premium, according to their website. It is worth exploring if you do not drive very often.

    Progressive is one of the top auto insurance companies in the US, and their mobile app makes it easy to manage your coverage without waiting on hold or visiting an office. You can view your policy, pay your bill, get a digital insurance card, and report an accident — all from your phone.

    The app is free to download from the App Store or Google Play. You sign in with the same email and password you use on the Progressive website. If you are new to managing your account online, you can create a login inside the app using your policy number.

    One of the most useful everyday features is the digital insurance card. Your ID card shows your policy number, covered vehicle, and coverage period — all the information you might need after an accident or a traffic stop. It is stored in the app so you do not need an internet connection to view it once it is loaded.

    Progressive also offers a program called Snapshot, which tracks your driving habits using a plug-in device for your car or through the mobile app. Safe driving behaviors — like avoiding hard braking and driving fewer miles — can earn you a discount on your next renewal. Participation is always optional.

    If you need to file a claim, the app guides you through the process step by step. You can describe what happened, upload photos of damage, and check your claim's status without making a single phone call.

    For anyone with a Progressive policy, the app is the fastest way to access your insurance information whenever you need it.
