To permanently change your Progressive payment date, you must cancel your existing policy and schedule the start of a new policy on your chosen payment date. Progressive can also change the payment date specifically for a customer’s upcoming bill by up to 10 days, but this does not apply to subsequent due dates.
Progressive customers can reschedule their upcoming payment date to be up to 10 calendar days after their original due date through the company’s online billing portal, or they can contact the company directly by calling 800-776-4737. Customers must initiate the change to their payment date at least one day before their payment is scheduled to be made.
If a customer’s original or rescheduled payment date passes with no payment being made, Progressive will issue a written notice of cancellation for the policy the following day. However, depending on the state in which a customer lives, they may be given an additional 10-20 day grace period (starting the day the letter is mailed) to make their car insurance payment and prevent the policy from being canceled. This grace period, combined with the possibility of a 10-day extension, effectively gives customers up to 30 extra days from their original due date to come up with the money needed to pay their Progressive premium.
