Geico Experience Review
Except for relying more on AI instead of first talking to a human, this company is "top notch": they have made changes that fit my budget better and handled my (now deceased) husband's claim several years ago very professionally, even though the other party was unhappy at first.

Don't Leave Geico
I have had Geico for over 30 years. I took a break once to save money and immediately regretted it and went right back. They are worth the money for the customer service alone.

I've been with Geico for years and have had very few claims, if any! Their rates are very high, but most others' rates are high as well. It seems like my rate should go down as a 'valued customer'!

The best I could find at a manageable monthly payment
I love their prices. I have full coverage on a 2002 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro and a 2006 Ford Econoline van. A price nobody can beat: $117.00 per month. It has a few exclusions, like hospital coverage, but I got roadside help. They are well built. It would take a boulder to crush them. No boulders in Georgia.

Unexpected Roadside Assistance Limit
Mostly very good. I was taken by surprise by the "Roadside Assistance" rider on my policy that allowed only 3 assistance calls before the cost came out of my pocket. Firstly, no one told me about that little detail, and secondly, they actually left me stranded! I was angry and hurt. I have been with GEICO for many years.

Good, but expensive insurance!
Geico is very expensive. Had I known that my claim would double my insurance rate, I would have paid cash to repair the damages.

Truck gets older but rates go up even with perfect driving record and no claims.
I've been with them for over 30 years. No points, excellent driving record. My truck gets older, and I expected the coverage price to go down, but it just goes up. I'm ready to change, but old habits die hard.

Insurance with Geico
I could have gotten a better price with Allstate, but I have been with Geico for some time now, so I stuck with them. Geico won't cut anyone a decent deal unless the person complains a lot, and I didn't do that!

I have a good experience with Geico. It's very affordable, and that's what a lot of people are looking for. My tip is if car insurance were lower, the insurance companies would have more customers, which would equal more money for the companies. Definitely, I would refer Geico to anyone; just give it a try.

Geico Insurance
Their insurance is too high; the rates go up every year just so they can add to their pockets. It's sad that you have no choice.

Geico too expensive
Stay away, they always increase the price of the policy.
Patricia

When I moved to NC, they were rated the best in premiums, so I went with them. But of course, every company just has to raise their rates every year. I am a senior and drive very little, so I was wondering if any company would have a less expensive rate, even though GEICO is still one of the most affordable. I'm still looking but not expecting much.

Excellent Service, Knowledgeable Agents, Low Cost
GEICO, when I contacted them directly and not through an online rate quote service, was very well priced—considerably lower than other offers and included uninsured/underinsured coverage where others had not. I was so impressed with the rates and the full explanation I was given about the policy that I paid in full.

I saved $630 by switching all because I got over myself
I always put GEICO down because of the commercials and the one time 20 years ago I tried to get insurance from them, they were so much more than what I was paying. I figured, okay, it couldn't hurt to check them again; it's been 20 years and my current insurance was ridiculous in price. I checked with GEICO and I seriously thought this was a misprint. I checked and checked again, and they saved me $630 for 6 months over what I was paying before. The amount I save in a year is almost the amount I was paying for 6 months with my old insurance. I am so glad I got over myself and decided to keep an open mind. Thank you, GEICO.

Insurance Renewal Review – Loyalty vs. Better Rates
We have had Geico now for over 10 years and have been pleased with the overall service, but unless our kids went off our insurance policy, our rates never went down, no matter what additional discounts we added on. Now we are down to three people and are still paying close to $750/month, so we started to get quotes for a better rate since longevity or loyalty does not get us any perks.

Don't Use Mercury
They helped when my previous carrier, Mercury, failed through no fault of mine. I had received a renewal email for the new coverage period and a payment processed email. I entered the correct expiration date myself online with their agent on the phone with me. The agency had been using my updated card for several months for my homeowners insurance. I did not realize until the state sent a letter with a notice that I was driving without car insurance, resulting in a $25 fine. This resulted in a lapse of coverage, my first since I started driving at 14. This will cost me $500+ over 5 years.

Good but expensive
After 6 months, I switched to a company (a large insurance company) that offered a lower price with more coverage. I believe they should value their customers and at least try to match the offer, but they didn't. I would have stayed with Geico if they had the same price as their competitor.

Seemed okay, but then it changes when you dare to file a claim
Absolutely horrible. I signed up for a policy, paid, and got my policy active. Terrific. However, 9 days in, I had to file a claim because I backed into a guardrail. That was my mistake. After filing the claim and getting it approved, Geico decided to either cancel my policy or triple my premium. They cited an elevated risk as the reason. I found it shady that they could just unilaterally pull the rug out from under me just for filing a claim.
Jan

Disappointed with the service
If you have other options, I'd recommend considering them. Geico seems to cater to people who can't find regular insurance. I'm not sure how I ended up with this company. They initially lure you in with low insurance rates. I started at $85/month and am now paying $228 a few years later for a car that has numerous safety features. I have no accidents or tickets in over 50 years, no DUIs, and I drive less than 5,000 miles a year. They don't seem to take any of that into consideration. It appears that they base your insurance on the rest of the state and how many accidents, tickets, or claims they have. It doesn't seem to matter if you're a great driver. It's frustrating that the insurance rates of responsible drivers are affected by those who cause accidents or get tickets. I can't think of any positives about this company.
Anita

Very Disappointing
They're a good company if you have plenty of money. They don't offer any discounts or breaks. When you file a claim, it takes them forever to process it. They tend to ignore big claims altogether. They don't give you enough money back on your claim to repair what you have damaged. They always opt for the cheapest route.

Not As Advertised
The advertised discounts never materialized. For example, I signed up for auto pay to keep my full coverage rate at $1,300 twice a year, but it still went up to $1,600 without any means to discuss the issue with a live service representative. All attempts to speak with someone were thwarted and obfuscated by voice menu directives.

Look Elsewhere for Reasonable Prices
If you're searching for more affordable insurance coverage, don't be fooled by GEICO's ads. Their rates are not as affordable as they used to be. It was a pretty good insurance company years ago. However, after Warren Buffet purchased the company, it has become nothing but a profit-driven business. They don't seem to care about your safe driving record or loyalty of 8 years.

Rate Increase
My rates increased even though I haven't had any accidents. However, because my credit score dropped, my rates doubled.
David

Too pricey for infrequent vehicle use
I had to choose GEICO because the other options were too expensive. I believe my perfect record played a role in my selection, but they increased my premiums by over $200 in the past year, which led me to look for a better deal. I mostly use a bike and only use my vehicles for doctor visits and material handling.

Difficult to Deal with and Overpriced
Their customer service is awful. They're rude and difficult to deal with. They overcharged me for months, claiming I lived in NJ when I didn't, in an attempt to get higher rates. Every few months, they required me to send photos of my cars, bank statements, credit card statements, and copies of my vehicle registrations. Their staff is highly incompetent and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

High Rates
The rates are significantly high compared to other providers, even with a clean driving record for over 20 years. Despite being hit in a parking lot and initially being told I was not at fault, they later changed their decision and charged both parties involved. Following this incident, my rates increased to the point where they were as high as my car payment.
