Snapshot rewards you for good driving

Progressive's Snapshot program personalizes your car insurance rate based on your actual driving. It's technically called usage-based insurance. That means you pay based on how and how much you drive instead of just traditional factors. In most states, you get an automatic discount^‡ just for participating and a personalized rate at renewal depending on your results. While your rate could increase with high-risk driving, most drivers save with Snapshot. In fact, drivers who save with Snapshot save an average of $156 a year.^*

Voice Over:

Welcome to Snapshot! The program that gives you a chance to lower your rate based on how you drive, how much you drive, and when. Let's see how you can get big discounts behind the wheel.

We get it. Sometimes you have no choice but to brake hard or accelerate quickly. Don't worry; a few of these won't affect your rate significantly.

As much as you can, avoid driving between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m. on weekends when the roads can be more dangerous. This isn't always easy, but the less you drive, the more you can save. If time on the road isn't something you can control, then how safe you drive counts for a lot.

And remember...avoid texts, calls, or other handheld phone activity when you're behind the wheel.

Your Snapshot progress is easy to follow. You'll get regular email updates. And you can always check progress, trip logs, and more on your phone or by logging into your account at progressive.com.

Once Snapshot collects your driving information you'll see a new personalized rate when your policy renews! That's Snapshot. Turning good driving into big savings. Let's go!
