REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 1998--The Progressive Corporation
(NYSE:PGR), the nation's fifth-largest and one of the fastest-growing insurance companies,
announced today that it will join InsWeb's insurance marketplace. Progressive will offer
auto quotes in 48 states and motorcycle insurance quotes in 42 states. Additionally,
Progressive will enable consumers visiting InsWeb to purchase its products completely
online by providing instant quotes and electronic payment. This is the first time InsWeb
users will be able to do full electronic commerce at InsWeb's insurance marketplace, and
it represents the most significant
step to date in creating a nationwide e-commerce market for insurance. "The alliance
between InsWeb and Progressive brings together two of the insurance industry's most
innovative companies," said InsWeb's Kevin Keegan, President of the Insurance
Services Group. "InsWeb and Progressive pioneered the concept of online insurance,
and Progressive has reshaped the way the industry thinks about insuring consumers.
Together, this powerful alliance is providing consumers exactly what they want: comparison
shopping and the ability to complete the insurance transaction online." For
Progressive, the agreement with InsWeb is consistent with its ongoing, successful effort
to provide consumers with multiple ways to buy insurance, and it reflects the company's
strong belief that product comparisons are beneficial for consumers. At its website
(www.progressive.com), Progressive provides quotes for its own products, as well as those
of several other carriers. "Progressive has long been a champion of comparison
shopping, and we share InsWeb values in enabling consumers to make more informed
decisions," said Allan Bauer, Internet Process Leader. "By making our products
available at InsWeb, Progressive will reach a wider audience of online customers and
strengthen our national distribution strategy."
