Will Progressive drop me if I get a DUI?
I’m currently covered with Progressive and I was wondering if there were certain convictions that would cause Progressive to stop covering me. Will Progressive drop me if I get a DUI?

Great question!
Like many insurers,
Progressive
may choose to drop your car insurance
policy if you get a DUI
—but it will depend on your individual case. In general, having a DUI on your driving record labels you as a
high-risk driver
, which will increase your rates significantly and make it more difficult to secure coverage from standard insurers. If you are dropped by Progressive for a DUI, your best option is to look for coverage from non-standard auto insurance companies, like
The General
or Dairyland
, who are more dedicated to high-risk car insurance
. Aside from getting a DUI, here are a few other reasons why Progressive might decide to cancel or not renew your plan:
- Failure to pay your premiums
- Multiple accidents within three years
- Three or more accidents or claims within a single policy term
Remember: Progressive is legally bound to send a cancellation notice if they do decide to drop you. Not only can this allow you time to secure a new policy so you can continue to fulfill your
state’s insurance requirements
, but it will also help you avoid the premium hikes that come with a lapse in your car insurance
