Progressive's job posts are very clear about whether or not travel is required, and they list specific details like "Territory: Northern Wisconsin, and surrounding communities. Candidates must be able to travel to and meet with all agencies within this geographic area. 25% of overnight travel will be required." Review this requirement ahead of time so you can respond to this question.
Don't be afraid to ask follow-up questions here. Ask if the travel is weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. and if Progressive pays for mileage and lodging. Knowing all the details will allow you to answer more honestly. Think about whether or not you will be able to travel and if you will need advanced notice each time. If you have limitations restricting your ability, be upfront about it; if you have some flexibility, speak openly about the circumstances.

"In my previous sales role, I was required to travel 50% of the time, and it was no problem. Because it's overnight travel, I would ask to have as much notice as possible so I can arrange my personal affairs."

"I am willing to travel and understand the importance of meeting face-to-face to maintain relationships. I'm flexible during the week; however, weekends would be more of a constraint. Can you share how frequently weekends would be required?"
