Subject: Dear Flo, It's Me, You-Just-Lost-A-Customer (and My Mind)
Hey Flo,
Remember me? I'm the one who used to sing along to your jingle in the shower, who lovingly referred to my car as "Flo-mobile," and who, until about five minutes ago, thought you were the Beyonce of insurance coverage. But alas, times change, winds shift, and my love for Progressive has officially gone the way of my 2004 Pontiac Vibe (RIP, Flo-mobile, you beautiful rust bucket).
So, why the sudden change of heart, you ask? Buckle up, Flo, because it's a wild ride.
| How To Cancel Progressive Insurance Email |
Chapter 1: The Price Hike From Hades
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.![]()
One fine (or perhaps not so fine) day, I opened my inbox to find an email from Progressive. Subject line: "Exciting news about your policy!" Exciting?! Flo, the only thing exciting about that email was the number of zeros tacked onto my monthly premium. Apparently, my penchant for singing karaoke while driving (at a perfectly reasonable volume, I might add) had bumped me into the "High-Risk Rockstar" category. Seriously, Flo, have you seen my driving record? It's cleaner than a dentist's lab! I haven't even gotten a speeding ticket since that one time in high school when I chased a runaway hamster named Speedy Gonzalez (don't ask).
Chapter 2: The Customer Service Odyssey (with No Golden Fleece in Sight)
Naturally, I called customer service. Now, I'm not saying the rep I spoke to was named Karen, but the airwaves crackled with enough entitlement to power a small village. After an hour of hold music that sounded suspiciously like Flo attempting karaoke (bless her cotton socks, she tried), I finally got through. Turns out, the price hike was "non-negotiable," unless I agreed to wear a GPS ankle bracelet and drive only between the hours of 8pm and sunrise. Look, Flo, I love a good vampire-themed road trip as much as the next guy, but my commute to the office doesn't exactly scream "Transylvania at dawn."
Chapter 3: The Great Escape (and My Email Manifesto)
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.![]()
So, here I am, Flo, composing this email with the fury of a thousand betrayed Flo-bots. I'm canceling my policy. It's a clean break, no hard feelings (well, maybe a few, but mostly for Karen). But before I go, I wanted to offer you a few parting words:
- Maybe dial back the price hikes just a tad. Not everyone wants to remortgage their house to stay insured.
- Customer service could use a shot of sunshine. Unless, of course, your goal is to create an army of Karens. Then, well played.
- And please, for the love of all things holy, tell your marketing team to retire the karaoke jingle. My therapist already has enough material to work with.
Anyway, Flo, it's been real. I wish you all the best in your quest to insure the world, one high-risk rockstar at a time. Just remember, there's a whole lot of competition out there, and some of them don't require ankle bracelets or a taste for the undead.
P.S. If you ever need a backup singer for your karaoke nights, hit me up. I'm surprisingly good with Bon Jovi.
P.P.S. Seriously, reconsider the ankle bracelet thing. I have places to be, Flo. Places that don't involve garlic necklaces and wooden stakes.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.![]()

A Former Flo-Fan (and now free bird)
