Progressive car insurance now has an app in the Android Market.<\/p>\n
The company previously released an iPhone app in January and then decided to release one for Android since it is the fastest growing smartphone platform on the market today.<\/p>\n

Existing customers can use the app to make payments and manage their claims while new users can compare insurance rates for different cars and get quotes. Those of you who can’t get enough of their endless TV spots can also watch the latest commercials.<\/p>\n
