20 years with Geico
I have had Geico for a long time, never had a problem. The only claim I have ever had was for my windshield when it caught a rock. They were really good and got my windshield fixed for a reasonable price. I have a pretty new car with the cameras. I just think they are a little high priced, but no complaints with service.

I don’t feel like I’m being treated fairly as a customer.
The price is getting out of sight. I have no claims against it, but the monthly rates have gotten to an unreachable point.

Uninsured Coverage
In the over 20 years with Geico, I only had one claim. I got hit in the rear, the driver had no insurance, and GEICO paid 100% of the repair needed. No hassle, just courteous, fast service.

Doubling my premium
I have GEICO. I had a very small accident and they doubled my insurance for two years. I don’t think that’s fair, considering I’ve had no claims in over 30 years.

For now, it's the best insurance company. The only problem I have is that they want to track my movement, and I feel they are intruding on my privacy.

Geico's discount service sounds great, but...
The DriveEasy program sounds like a great resource, but the actual app tracking itself is really finicky, unreliable, and seems to assume that any hard braking, cornering issues, or speed variances are entirely the fault of the driver. It does not factor in the actual reality of responding to the driving environment around you, which ultimately might lead to poor or unfavorable scores so that the discount might not actually be all it's advertised to be.

They are great. I have a 17-year-old who's driving, and that's the reason Geico increased my premium. Other than that, they're a great company to do business with.

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.

Very good, but very expensive
They're very expensive, but when you have a problem they don't delay. Someone will contact you within hours of a claim being filed if it's during the weekdays. They don't reward their accident-free drivers with a decrease in payments, yet they will raise the price. I've been with them about 12-13 years and they have been easy to work with, just too darn expensive.

Geico increased my rate by $145.00 per month only 5 months after I started the policy. When I finally navigated the AI phone answering application and spoke to a live representative, they simply stated the rate increase is because they can. I dropped Geico after only 5 months. An $870.00 increase is unacceptable.

Dislike Geico's Business Practices
I dislike Geico car insurance. I tried unsuccessfully to pay them five times, but they ignored me. My car insurance policy letter said my policy was canceled on 3-13-2026. I was trying to renew for the date of 3-10-2026, starting in late February to be ahead of time. Geico canceled my policy, claiming my bank would not pay, but the bank said Geico did not try. Then, on 3-24-2026 at 12:01 AM, a Geico letter said my policy cancellation was reinstated from the previous cancellation date of 3-13-2026. In 10 minutes, I acquired Progressive car insurance. That day, my bank said Geico accepted my payment. Now I have the difficult task of getting my payment back from Geico, who said twice in letters that my car insurance policy was canceled.

They Couldn't Care Less
The cost of a 6-month policy is the lowest I've been able to find. Every other insurer has yet to match or beat it. It came with a little more coverage than any other insurer has offered. Although they give you a discount for initiating Easy Drive, which monitors one's driving and driving habits, the app is so messed up (as in making outrageous claims of unsafe driving), I know I cannot expect them to offer to continue the discount or increase it at the end of the term when the app makes a report, or they review the driving data collected. The app is NOT trustworthy because of its flawed and erroneous assumptions. I could not believe it admonished my driving because it found an app open on my phone. "Yeah, the app Easy Drive which they insist one have open during trips," so that it can take in and record the data. Easy Drive is a joke. When I read the first report I looked at, I wondered if the report stated what it stated so that I would be found ineligible for a continued discount. After reading a couple of other reports, I am convinced this tongue-in-cheek accusation of mine to be a fact. My driving record is, after 45 years of driving, immaculate. Yet insurance companies want nearly 500 USD or more for a 6-month STATE MINIMUMS LIABILITY ONLY policy. I have proven that I am not a liability to them. When are insurers going to appreciate me for that?

Geico Not What They Spend Millions on Advertising
Long-time client. Perfect driving record. Retired senior over 75, disabled wounded veteran. Geico stabs the elderly in the back, constantly. Geico refuses safe driver discounts to the elderly with perfect records. They do this to charge more (not unlike many other insurance companies) to pay for losses incurred by poor drivers. If you're late, you're fined $20. No rebuttal. Geico has to constantly advertise, spending millions as many veterans and seniors are leaving.

Stan Haas review of GEICO experience
I thought it was mediocre. They wanted me to take photos. They wanted me to take my car to a different repair shop than the one I usually use. After calling my usual repair shop, I was informed of the difficult process some insurance companies (not necessarily GEICO) use about using off-market parts, etc. Eventually, GEICO gave in to my requests.

Very poor ability to offer discounts. Their equipment to monitor driving habits is so antiquated that they keep pestering you about it when they are trying to boost their given price. The equipment is very buggy and will not work in this state, but they keep pestering you.

Unhappy with Unexplained Rate Increase
Don't use them as my insurance climbed from $112.00 to $147.00 with no tickets or accidents on my record. I was given ZERO warning that my rates had increased and no explanation as to why.

I have to say that GEICO responds quickly to an accident, but they are way overpriced. I thought if I stayed with them a little longer, the policy price would get better. Little did I know, it doesn’t work like that, and I’m 67 years old. All they worry about is getting their money, so this year I’m pretty sure I’m changing insurance companies. If it means getting rid of my car, at least I won’t have a car payment and I won’t have to worry about renewing insurance.

I'm suing Geico
I feel like if you have full coverage and your car gets stolen and destroyed to where it's not even drivable, you should definitely get 30 days of rental car coverage, because that's what comes with it. But if they declare it a total loss, they only give you 3 days, which is not enough time to buy anything. And then you cannot buy anything with only four thousand dollars. All the items that were stolen from inside the car equaled about six thousand dollars, and I did not get compensated for them. Also, your prices are very, very high.

They used to be the best
Geico used to be a great insurance company that offered the best customer care. Over the last 10 to 15 years, they have become like all companies, greedy and money-hungry. I have been with Geico for over 20 years just for their caring attitude; they outshined most companies. It's not like that anymore. They have become a greedy company with very poor customer care and very high prices, with a 'pay it or lose it' attitude. After all these years, I'm leaving and will give my money to a different company.

Geico Two-Step
I have multiple insurance companies currently. Geico needs better training for their representatives. Don’t tell customers one thing and then tell the consumer the exact opposite from the next representative. I will never use Geico again, even though they are almost 50% cheaper than State Farm, Allstate, or Progressive.

Geico isn't great
Geico has been steadily raising our rate, and we have no accidents or tickets. I went to switch to Progressive, who saved me a considerable amount of money, but when my wife got on with Geico to cancel, they said we were on an old system and she could beat Progressive by $100. My wife said yes, and we are paid for the year. I would have happily paid Progressive the extra $100 to get away from Geico.

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.

Geico was great, as long as you don’t have any claims
Geico was fine for 22 years! Then my son used my car while visiting from Florida and got in an accident. They covered me just fine, BUT 2 months after the accident, they raised my rate from $130/month to $330/month. I called to discuss and was told I had to prove my son didn’t live with me. I provided his apartment lease, a paystub, a Florida bank account, and a Florida driver's license, but none of it mattered. They would not remove him from my policy. After 22 years with nothing but a few windshield claims, they increased my rate significantly, so I had to switch.
