    Sometimes things have to change.
    We've been with GEICO for over 10 years. It's a good company, but the prices keep going higher and higher. With no accidents or tickets, we are still paying too much. It's just time for a change. Better pricing, more options.

    Mostly Happy with Geico 😏
    I have been very happy with Geico. They were there and insured me when everyone else wanted to charge me twice as much, and that was more than 5 years ago. My rates at one point were as low as $35 a month, and then all of a sudden they shot up to $55 to $58 a month with zero tickets, zero accidents, and zero claims, which is why I started shopping around. But to be perfectly honest, even though I can get insurance for $14 less a month on average, I think I'm going to stick with Geico because they were there when I needed a break, and that goes a long way with me.

    Up, up, always up!
    I would say don't do it! They are increasing my liability and uninsured motorist coverage for a 2005 Nissan Sentra. I'm 57 years old with no tickets or accidents, and yet I'm paying over $170 for not full coverage! It went up! I'm looking for another insurance company.

    Geico will not get my business again
    Geico charges for paper bills; they only work through the internet. I would rather pay from an invoice. They charge me $75 for a 6-month policy for state minimum coverage. That is way too expensive for a 20-year-old car. I should have many discounts as a 60-year-old female.

    Geico Is Not Cost Efficient
    I have used Geico since 2006 on and off, and this will be my last time. They are notorious for raising my premium every renewal time. This very month I paid $188.00, and my renewal for March is $244.47—a fifty-six dollar a month increase on a 2022 Chevrolet Trax. I am on a dire fixed income and cannot afford this. I will never use Geico again. I need cheap insurance with full coverage.

    Lack of contact with agent is a big minus.
    I am using the GEICO app and constantly getting messages asking me to install this app. Lately, they asked me to pay $7 (and some change) for something I don’t understand. It's impossible to find a phone agent to ask for an explanation.

    Raising rates for no reason other than greed
    Rates just kept going up and up for no reason. Just corporate greed. Progressive is even worse. Dropping Progressive currently. Found insurance for $60 a month less with a lesser-known company.

    Discounts for Auto Insurance
    All was good until my policy lapsed for two or three days because I was in the hospital. Then, all of a sudden, my insurance jumped forty dollars a month, and it has remained there for some time. I feel like I am not getting the discounts that I should be receiving. I have had no tickets or accidents in over five years, yet I'm still paying a very high price for the cheapest insurance I could get. I shop all the time for insurance because I feel that Geico is not offering me the best deal.

    Geico not the value anymore. Compare, shop and save!
    Shop around - I had Geico for 30 years and they kept increasing the premiums until they got out of hand. I shopped around and got the lowest rate from Hartford for the whole year, not 6 months, which was what Geico was charging me!

    Too expensive for just liability!
    When I started with Geico, it was affordable, but my rates keep going up. Over the last 6 months, it's been ridiculous. I don’t think I should be paying so much for just liability, and I'm on a fixed income. I don't know if there are any discounts out there for being disabled and a senior, but that would be so helpful.

    I’m a senior and I have had a great record. Until 2025, I was in a wreck with no ticket. I was initially told both parties were at fault, but later it was determined to be my fault. I just received a new used 2019 Nissan Armada, and I pay $197.00 a month, which I find ridiculous. Because it is financed, I need to carry full coverage. I don’t feel I have a fair deal.
