Does Progressive have a reinstatement policy if my car insurance lapses?
I accidentally let my Progressive car insurance lapse last month when I hit a rough financial spot. I don't want to lose my coverage, so is there any way I could get it back? Does Progressive have a reinstatement policy?

“I’m sorry to hear that you had financial difficulties—I know that’s been the case for a lot of people this year. I’m happy to say that if you recently missed a payment, chances are that
Progressive
will reinstate your policy. During the reinstatement period, you’ll still have the same level of coverage you had before. You’ll also have to pay the balance due on your statement before coverage can be reinstated.
However, time is of the essence. Call Progressive at 1-800-776-4737 immediately. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that they will cancel your
