My opinion
Premiums start off low and continue to climb every 6 months. Not helpful when you have a limited income. Very responsive to claims.

I like Geico.
Geico has been awesome. We have had them for probably 10 years. Never had an issue with any claim or customer service. The only problem is cost compared to other carriers right now.

It is always a good experience working with GEICO. It all depends on their quote at the time, just like any other insurance company.

Moving to Progressive from Geico
Geico was my current provider and their rates went up way too much to justify staying with them.

The price is getting out of sight. I have no claims against it, but the monthly rates have gotten to an unreachable point.

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.

Expensive. I have no accidents, no speeding tickets, I'm a disabled veteran, and I'm over 58 years old. I think my policy should be cheaper than what I'm paying.

Geico Pretty Good
Mostly fine; however, I constantly have to request ID cards that they claim they will automatically send. This gets old quickly.

Dissatisfied with Rate Increase
My policy renewal increased by over $100 for no reason. I haven't gotten a ticket or been in an accident. I have the safe drive app, but there's misinformation when using it. I train drivers, so most of the time I'm not driving when using my phone, and it's too much trouble trying to adjust whether I'm driving or not.

After comparing other companies, Geico is only $50.00 above the rest, so it's not worth switching.

God Help Us All
No one has beaten Geico in cost since we have been searching for lower auto insurance. We are seniors and retired, and we do not drive a lot, yet you categorize us as if we do. It's not the same as years ago. We were noticed, but in this day and time, no more. Everything is in the same package with everybody else. Everything is about money, not for the people anymore. But I get it. If you drive, you will pay. Our prices go up, but not our income.

Good find.
They have been great. The best price I could find, since my first insurance went up to over $100.00. So I looked around until I found GEICO.

Insurance rates are too high!
I think it is very expensive. I’ve only been in two not-at-fault accidents and my insurance premium has almost doubled. I’ve been with GEICO for over 40 years, and just because I left GEICO briefly for two weeks, when I came back, they said that I only have a three-year history with them. It does not show anything prior to that. Being a loyal customer with zero at-fault claims for 40 years, plus being a veteran and a safe driver, I feel that I deserve more discounts. Right now, it's getting competitive, and other companies are offering better rates. The only reason I’ve stayed with GEICO is because it is the path of least resistance.
Woody
Verified Review
Geico is the best car insurance value I've been able to find for many years.
I find Geico flawless in communication and prompt service. I had the lowest possible rates from them for many years, exceptionally low, until last year. I had an at-fault accident (so they say), but I beg to differ. But that wasn't for me to decide.

Don't waste your money on Geico.
Overpriced for basic coverage; discounts are worthless even with multi-vehicle and home insurance. That didn’t save me anything.

Expensive for no reason
After years of being a customer with no claims and a clean driving record, it has become too expensive.
Jessica

Misleading prices and increased payments and premiums without warning or real explanation.
With both GEICO and Progressive, my experiences have been bad, mostly regarding billing. They both quoted a certain amount and payment schedule, and then after the first payment, they increased the future payments by an extremely higher amount than agreed upon, without me being aware. They make policy changes without notice and don’t hold up their end of the agreement. Very disappointed in both.

Unsatisfactory
I'm retired now and hardly drive at all. I requested a lower rate and was talked into dropping coverage to the minimum to lower my cost. My coverage went down, but my rates sure didn't, so I'm in the process of looking for a better deal after 30 years with Geico.

Do not use Geico; they make changes to your policy without authorization. They are constantly raising rates without notice.

I will never say a good word or use Homesite or Geico again
Horrible customer service and no resolution to them understanding my checking account was hacked and they didn't receive the automatic payment where all my accounts were affected and had to change my billing information. Called a few times and got all kinds of conflicting bills. The girl who first helped me was very nice and told me she was reluctant to take a payment over the phone from me. She reported, "I'm afraid that they won't get it right!" This company disrespected my words and chose not to try and understand the truth. I would like to know a supervisor I could talk to even though I will never use them again. They charge three times as much as other agencies, no thanks.

Don't use Geico. They charged me more when I moved to Illinois, then charged me even more when I moved to South Carolina, and charged me more again when I moved back to Tennessee. What's wrong with that picture?

Ripoff!
Terrible! I am a 65-year-old woman on disability who had a minor fender bender three years ago. They paid less than $2,000 for a scratch on the other car, and I claimed no damages on my car. They increased my insurance by over $100 a month! What’s the sense of having insurance? I should’ve paid for it out-of-pocket like so many people do.

Terrible Experience with Getting Our Car Repaired with GEICO
My wife had an accident and the damage was significant but definitely repairable. We were forced to declare the car totaled. It cost me $7,000 out of pocket to get the same car. The people at GEICO handling our claim were very rude and disrespectful. During one conversation, they had my wife crying and so upset she handed the phone to me to finish the conversation. This is the reason we are looking for a new company.

Treats their customers poorly
This is my third time having this insurance. I should have learned my lesson the first time I filed a claim with them. The first accident, they said it was both our faults, which I believe was due to both of us having this insurance. The second time, a guy sped past me when I was changing lanes, and they said it was my fault. The last time, I had the right of way when a guy cut off someone behind me while we were turning. Instead of waiting his turn, he continued to cut off the guy behind me and hit me. The police came, but there was no report. I had a passenger, and they said because they were in my car, I couldn’t use them as a witness. The guy he cut off was my witness, but they said since I didn’t get a police report or video, it was his word against mine. This is a horrible company to have insurance with. Please stay away from this company. I have learned my lesson and will never come back.

Not very communicative with clients
Unable to resolve issues for you on claims or policy. Won't return your calls in a reasonable 24-48 hour period after leaving various messages. When calling to talk to a rep, each one tells you different things and passes you to the next rep.

Loyalty
I've been with this company for over 16 years, and my premiums keep going up as my vehicles keep getting older. One vehicle is over 20 years old, and the other one is over 10 years old. Loyalty doesn't mean a thing. They just want money. I need to find a different company.

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.

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.

Insurance Challenges
Mediocre. I had 4 non-fault accidents, 2 hit-and-run accidents ($500 deductible each, not my fault!), and 2 accidents (100% the other driver's fault, not my fault!), and they raised my insurance cost! 😞 I have been insured with GEICO for almost 10 years. Not happy, but I must keep insured by law!
