I had an accident that was pretty bad a little over a week ago. Gieco customer service came to the rescue. They had my car towed, got me in a beautiful rental car quickly and easily, and my adjuster has been so on top of it and responsive, always making sure I was happy and well taken care of. I didn't expect this level of service from them and I am very impressed!

They added our son onto our policy without our knowledge. He didn't even live with us. Jumped our premium by $450 a month. State farm said this was illegal but Geico does it all the time hoping it won't be noticed. State farm saved us $250 a month and never added drivers without us requesting it.

Generally its hard to get really excited about an insurance company, car accidents, body work and premiums. These are not the things dreams are made of BUT since you must be insured, THIS IS THE COMPANY. Easy online access to everything, claims, our name it, great website.
Customer Care Superb on the phone and at the body shop. Easy in and out. Smooth car rentals. Courtesy pickups. For me, lowest price premiums I have found.
Someone in corporate is keeping the staff happy. It shows. Thanks Geico!

Geico is good but expensive
September 23, 2015

I liked the customer service at Geico better than at any other insurer but it's just too expensive for me to afford right now.

This company targats veterans who believe that Geico will help when veterans need it most, Geico will not they will double bill those veterans on every occasion they can get away with. Pay a little more and get a better insurer in my book this company really sucks. Geico tried its hardest to get me to pay the same bill twice each month for about 5 months and I am disabled and living on a fixed income did they care? Not a bit

So UNHELPFUL
March 10, 2015

I was the victim of a hit and run - while I was inside a store, my car was smashed into.
I took it to the auto body and had to argue with Geico for an inspector to go there to look at it, with that stress out of the way, they then tell me I will not get a rental car the next day (something included in my policy I have been paying for for 7+ years!) but they wont give me one, despite me paying for it in my policy... how do I get to work then and how does that make any sense?
They have bad customer service, a supervisor is yet to contact me back and they only added to the stress I already had from my car being hit. And they're too expensive. Go with another insurance company you'll be sorry if you don't.

Easy website to use

Easy website to use. I saved money over using Farmer's before. However, I may start shopping around again because AAA looks cheaper.

Always get great service, just wish rates were a little lower though. Service is always above and beyond. Claims and customer service are excellent!

DESCRIMINATION of immigrant drivers who just got their license, no insurance quote for them. Too bad, feel sorry for them. People been driving somewhere for 30 yrs no accidents and then here just got US license for 2 yrs they'll say no insurance quote for you... they're $#*!s. Rot in hell.

Geico has been very good to me. I'm saving about $500 a year over the policy I had with another company. I've never had to make a claim where I was at fault, so I don't know how they are when it comes to that.

"15 minutes can save you..."

Sure, until you have an accident, then that stupid lizard takes back everything you saved plus 35%.

After 3 years of initially getting insurance with Geico, my wife had an accident (her first EVER). She stopped at the driveway of our apartment complex, saw no traffic, pulled out; then a county vehicle blew through a stop sign and tried to whip around her. Unfortunately, he took off the front of our vehicle in the process.

After sending NO ONE to look at the accident scene, after sending NO INVESTIGATOR; Geico claimed my wife was 100% at fault. I sent them photos and the police report where the officer amended it stating that my wife was NOT at fault and they reduced her liability to 50%. I asked them, "So, basically she's at fault for being on the road?" They said, "Yes."

Skip the lizard, go with the beagle (the beagle LOWERED our insurance rate AFTER this accident and did not even consider this accident as my wife was not at fault!). Get a pair of alligator boots if ye feel the need to get close to a reptile.
