Property and casualty agency auto policy growth measures year-over-year growth in Progressive auto policies distributed through independent agents.

Progressive reported 11.211M agency auto policies in force at June 30, 2026, up 8% from 10.423M a year earlier.

Policies in force are a customer-base measure

Policy growth does not directly measure premium growth because rate changes, coverage mix, and policy characteristics also affect premium dollars.

Distribution channel matters

Agency auto growth can differ from direct-channel growth because acquisition, retention, and customer mix differ.
