Default I started requesting an online CAR INSURANCE quote from PROGRESSIVE.COM....but?

They want to collect personal information from consumer reporting agencies, such as driving record, claims, and credit history reports.

Is it safe for me to fill out the online form and give Progressive.com (Progressive Direct) the OK it needs in order to collect this information to give me a quote, or is this a possible Phishing expedition that I might regret later on?

Thanks
My credit history is excellent, as is my driving record clean of any tickets or accidents.
I was just concerned about the sharing of my personal info where I might start being contacted by other companies wanting to sell me something.
Appreciate everyone's input.

While you're right to be concerned the fact is that Progressive is a huge company, hardly a fly-by-night operation. If they were to misuse the information you could sue the snot out of them.

If you were to call them the same information would be requested. If you were to go into an Progressive office, the same information would be requested.

As long as you're sure you're really at the real Progressive website, you'll be fine.
