Its commercial lines are built around commercial auto, about 90% of it written through agents in 2025, plus a BOP available to agents in 46 states at year-end 2025.

ContractorsCommercial autoMost statesContractor target: vans, pickups and dump trucks used by light contractors such as painters, plumbers and landscapers (Progressive 2025 Form 10-K).
TransportationCommercial autoMost statesFor-hire transportation target: tractors, trailers and straight trucks used by regional general freight, expeditor-type businesses and long-haul operators (2025 Form 10-K).
RetailCommercial autoMost statesBusiness auto target: autos, vans and pickups used by small businesses, for example in retailing, manufacturing and farming (2025 Form 10-K).
Personal autoAutoMost statesPersonal auto is written in all states. Agents place it within Progressive's prescribed underwriting guidelines, and the agency channel was 43% of personal vehicle premium in 2025. Platinum agencies can write 12-month auto terms to bundle with property (2025 Form 10-K; Q2 2026 Form 10-Q). We found no public version of Progressive's eligibility guidelines.
Recreational vehiclesSpecialtyMost statesSpecial lines cover motorcycles, ATVs, RVs and travel trailers, boats and personal watercraft, and snowmobiles, all quotable through independent agents per Progressive's agent page. Special lines are written in every state except DC (2025 Form 10-K).
HomeownersHomeMost statesPersonal property is written mainly through independent agents (72% of property premium in 2025) and the Platinum bundling program (nearly 6,000 agents). Since late 2025 Progressive has lifted some restrictions on older roofs, medium- to high-value homes and non-bundled homeowners in certain markets, but keeps them in coastal, wildfire and hail-prone markets (Q2 2026 Form 10-Q). Some policies are written by affiliated and third-party insurers.
RentersHomeMost statesProgressive's personal property business writes renters and umbrella alongside homeowners, in both the agency and direct channels, and writes flood through the NFIP Write Your Own program (Q2 2026 Form 10-Q). Its agent page lists renters and condo among products agents can quote.
