Protect Your Pet in a Car
Injury coverage for your dog or cat while they're riding in your car.
"Finally, a car insurer that gets the role of pets in our lives." Progressive has added a $500 Pet Injury Protection endorsement to all its auto insurance policies where the company will pay $500 towards vet bills from a car acident.
But why was this needed anyway? Wouldn't a pet be covered anyway if it is in an insured car?
Suprisingly, not necessarily. If someone hits your car and injures yor dog or cat, the vet bills are covered under their policy under their property damage coverage (pets being property under the law) but if you have an accident and there's no other car involved or the other driver doesn't have insurance, your pet's injuries just aren't covered - up until now that is."
