Wow! That is a lot. It is almost abnormal. Did you change any coverages or raise a deductible? Sometimes people do not take that in to account when they compare premiums. Did you have a ticket or accident drop in the last year? Some other change? One thing that matters in this instance is the two companies. Progressive caters mostly to non-standard risk but in the last few years they have been targeting the standard market. Most times the premium will be a little higher for a standard driver than if the standard driver went with a standard company (GEICO, State (Snake) Farm, Allstate etc).
Another thing to check is claims customer service. It is pretty important since it is the only time you will ever need them. In your case you made a good switch as Geico always rates higher in customer service than Progressive.
One more tip. If you are with a carrier that has multi-line coverage check to see if you get a discount for having your home & auto + any other coverages you need together.
You should shop your rates at least every two years to see if you will have substantial saving elsewhere.
