- As a consumer, I'm constantly looking for ways to save money, especially on vehicle insurance. A few friends of mine switched over to Progressive Insurance claiming that they saved money on their vehicle insurance. I did the same and by all accounts, I saved a lot on money!!
The one thing I opted into was Progressive's SNAPSHOT program, boy was that a mistake!!
In today's video, I'll tell you & y'all about my short experience with Progressive Insurance's Snapshot program and what they're not telling us!!
Thank ya for watching, peace & love......

I am 80 old and I do not drive much at all. Short distances only. I have the device but having a hard time getting it instal. Thank you for your info.
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to the channel!! Dan
Good info! I’ve been considering Snapshot since I don’t drive much anymore. Thanks.
Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel and Happy New Year!! Dan
I had the same issues. I was able to switch over to the ODB dongle you plug into your dash and no longer used the App. A bonus is the ODB unit doesn’t ding you for picking up your phone or using it while driving.
Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel!! I wish they had a dongle for my truck but it's too old lol!! Have a great weekend!! Dan
im currently using the plugin device since i drive a truck at work. Glad for that option because i would have been big time SOL and my truck already monitors my driving so its nothing im not use to. 1 silly harsh brake so far from idk what to be honest but 2 weeks in with no real issues.
Glad to hear that it's working out for ya, have a great week!! Dan
The snapshot dongle can be more of a hazard than help if you live in a big city. You have to drive like an old man. Have to anticipate someone jumping off the sidewalk and while traffic if the speed limit is 55 you have to do 45. So if someone cuts you off you have tome to stop . Which makes you a hazard on the road. Also you have to be anticipating if the light is going to change as you reach the light. I've had to go through lights slowly to prevent an event.
Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel!! I'm with ya, the driving style they're looking for in the city can be a lil tough!! Have a great weekend!! Dan
People used to and probably still joke about the saying, "Big brother is watching". Decades old as it is, I'm pretty sure it was always in reference to Government. Who'd have thought that now it's the insurance companies too?
Big brother is always watching for sure lol!! Thank ya for watching and commenting!! Dan
thanks for the info
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, have a great week!! Dan
When I had this electronic Tattletale I saw it dinging me for (sudden braking) when I was driving. The fact is tat I NEVER sudden brake - I leave plenty of room between myself and other vehicles. Snapshot is so sensitive that if you even THINK of raking, you will get dinged.
Thank ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to the channel!! I feel your pain on the dings, I was getting them when I wasn't driving my vehicle lol!! No more Snapshot for me!! Have a great week and thank ya for stopping by the channel!! Dan
Okay, but he said you can change the transit to whatever you want freely…
So basically, if you have any event, just change it to whatever you want... I get it’s a hassle to change it but if they don’t know when you’re a passenger, or riding motorcycle, train, airplane… etc. then it’s freely up to you to change the transit.
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, welcome to the channel!! I didn't find the app that easy to navigate, but hopefully other folks will see this!! Dan
very good information ! good to know before turn my app on !
Thank ya for watching and commenting sir, welcome to the channel!! Dan
i gave up on those type of insurance. too often they wouldn't work properly and I never saw any savings.
Thank ya for watching James, I can say Progressive did save me a ton of money on vehicle insurance but that Snapshot app is obtrusive and crappy to boot lol!! Y'all have a good week brother!! Dan
I suggest getting a burner phone at Walmart. Don't log into Google or any company except progressive.
THIS
Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel!! I just got rid of the app, too many other things I have to worry about lol!! Other than the Snapshot app, Progressive has been good insurance thus far!! Have a great week!! Dan
That too lol!! Dan
If you think about how does this work say you're married and you and your wife both have this on your each car and then you're driving together but one person's work in the phone and the other person is driving
Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel!! That sounds like someone's gonna get several events logged on their Snapshot app!! I couldn't really get a definitive answer to any of my questions but needless to say, I don't use the Snapshot app anymore!! Have a great week and thank ya for stropping by the channel!! Dan
I have erie and they are dirt cheap but they don't wont to fix Nothing I got a lot of hail damage they said my house was like that already bull crap but their so cheap I really can't afford anyone else
Thank ya for watching and commenting brother and I hear ya on not being able to afford insurance, I had to switch auto insurance because the last company I was with was killing me lol!! Have a great week sir!! Dan
It's a scam, just gives them reasons to raise your rates more. I'd never allow insurance company on my phone. Don't do it, unless you're expert and can use burner phone and only use the app on that phone and leave it at home.
Thank ya for watching and commenting my friend!! The only thing I use the app for now is to pay online, that app is really crappy!! Have a great week!! Dan
Dan, we had this insurance and we add the snapshot device to my husband truck. They said it would reduce our premium. No it did not. We got rid of progressive insurance. I don’t care for them.
Thank ya for watching and commenting mam, I'll say that Progressive saved me several hundreds on vehicle insurance, reckon we'll see down the road if I get any rises in my premiums!! Have a great week!! Dan
Starting an ignition has nothing to do with the app. Riding a skateboard shows up as driving.
Thank ya for watching and commenting, welcome to the channel!! Dan
With the progressive snapshot app, anytime you’re just a passenger of your friends car and THEY are doing the driving, you get an “EVENT” recorded in YOUR app. Really a bad product to use!
I agree whitcha 100%, I just opted out of the program!! Thank ya for watching and commenting, have a great week!! Dan
Utility polls in da sticks?
Several lol!! Thank ya for watching!! Dan
Yikes..people driving loaders..police or firemen speeding...that app is bad
Thank ya for watching and commenting sir!! Dan
It sure can be turned off. Just uninstall the app.
There's that!! Dan
Does this actually work? I'm about to buy 6 months of insurance with the Snapshot app discount, but I don't actually want to use the app. I put TH-cam videos on my phone when driving (Just listening to them of course) but I know the app will think I am on my phone.
Couldn't you just say on video: "And I told him my whole work story....." INSTEAD of saying the same thing you just told us!!! Gee!!!!
And yet you watched the whole video just to say that, lol thank ya, come back!! Dan
