    Good drivers pay the price for the worst drivers
    I have not had any accidents or violations in 50 years, and yet my rates keep going up as my vehicle gets older. I feel like I'm being penalized for all the people who do have accidents and drive poorly. I drive less than 50 miles a month, and I'm paying far more than I need to. I had to drop comprehensive and collision coverage in order to make my rates affordable.

    Geico gives us 5-star service
    We have always had a very good experience with Geico. In general, their prices were always better than anyone we compared them to, and they offered the coverage we need at what I have always thought was a reasonable price. We have only made a few claims with them, but they have always been very prompt in responding to us and helping us handle the claims.

    A title
    I like the GEICO plan. I think they are a bit high in price, but I guess you get what you pay for. I’m glad I have full coverage now. I had no idea I didn’t have full coverage, and when I was in my accident, I was very surprised that the agent I opened my policy with didn’t get me full coverage like I had with my last policy. Live and learn, I guess.

    Geico Insurance Quote Call Experience
    First, always shop around so when you speak with their rep, you have an idea of the prices at the moment. The reps at Geico are very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. So, once you have an idea of the price range you're looking for, don't be afraid to ask the rep questions and try to get to your desired price if possible.

    Paying More Than I Should Be

    Even if it hurts, choose integrity.
    My policy doubled due to a parking issue. I was parallel parking and scraped the car behind me. It was my fault. But doubling my policy payment? I've been a customer for over thirty years. I owed the man behind me honesty, so I left a note on his windshield. However, the hike in my premiums is making it almost unaffordable to keep the car. They have been a good insurance company for the thirty-plus years I have enjoyed their coverage. I trust them. They send a locksmith or a battery jump when needed over the years. Two of my three adult children also use them.

    What You Would Like to Hear
    Very, very hard to work through. We have an antique computer and cannot print PDF files, on and on. Your claim reps were very good. I asked them to send everything through the US mail, which they have so far. We had a very hard time with the safe drivers school as my computer system does not seem up to the needs. Anyway, got through it and hopefully y'all have received a copy. Been with you for 40 years, so we do think well of you.
