Geico blew it!
Personally, I loved Geico for the service we received from them. My only complaint was that it did not matter what changes occurred in our lives, such as children aging out and off insurance, our insurance never went down by much in our monthly payment, and both my husband and I are senior age. When I asked for a lower rate, they said that it was not possible, so now we need to find another insurance provider.

Neither Great nor Poor Experience
Like many insurance coverages, premiums are going up even if I never file a claim, and I’m always looking to save money. I can’t say anything bad because I haven’t had to deal with making a claim with them.

I wish I didn't have to search for my own discounts. If I'm eligible for a discount, please apply it and don't make me search other companies to get my best price. After 25 years, I think I deserve that.

It is better than most others out there, but they could do better for people that rarely use their car, barely 20 miles a week if that. Look and compare. If they go higher, we will look elsewhere.

Why do my rates keep going up?
It's hard to say. I have no accidents, no tickets, and I'm a safe driver, but yet my insurance keeps going up. It's not my fault other people have accidents, so why do my rates go up?

Buyer Beware of False Promises
Well, clearly it was good because you gave me a good price. But in the one month that you gave me that good price, you raised my premium by $20. So we're going to see how much you continue to try to do this because if you continue to raise my price for no reason, then I'm going to go elsewhere.

GEICO - Not a Good Company
We were with GEICO for 25 years, had 3 minor accidents with no injuries, and the repairs were minimal. They raised our rates astronomically, and no one cared to assist us despite our 25 years of loyalty. Go with Progressive; they have accident forgiveness.

GEICO has gotten expensive
Premiums started competitive, but prices have gone up quickly and are no longer competitive. We will be shopping.

When you get a quote that's greater, it's time to say later!
My experience with GEICO was fair, but after going through the whole year with a positive driving record, the new policy they offered me was more than $100 more than the previous 6 months. The fact that I live in the city and only drove maybe 5 miles a week made the renewal quote even more disappointing, which soured me on doing any more business with them.

Difficulty with App Usage
You need to do something about your app. I cannot log in to get my discounts, and I am very dissatisfied with that part of your service. Other than that, everything is good. I'm still unable to access the app.

GEICO isn’t the worst, I guess
Exceptionally mediocre. My rates just went up again. At this point, paying for GEICO is more than a car payment would be. It’s a crappy car that shouldn’t be expensive to insure. I pay for everything out of pocket anyway because I’m paranoid that if I don’t, I’ll be penalized by the insurance company. How much sense does that make? I’m paying for repairs on my own because the thing I’m paying for already at $500 per month would go up even more. The thing that makes me dislike GEICO is that even if I repair my car out of pocket and continue paying the high premium, my rates still go up by $150. I can’t afford other stuff because I’m paying for insurance that I literally never use.

Frustrating Automated Help Line
They have the worst automated help line! It's extremely difficult, and the system refuses to connect you to a human! I called on Friday to get a copy of my policy and didn't receive the email or the link until Saturday and early Sunday morning! I dislike dealing with the automated system!

Drive well and still get a rate increase
They started out good, with monthly insurance payments. But they just sent me a renewal for 6 more months, and they raised my monthly payment by around $16. I haven't had any tickets or accidents that were my fault, so I will be going somewhere else.

Insurance Coverage
During the last two years, I have paid nearly $1,600. No accidents in 10 years. No DUIs ever. Retired. Garage parking. Drive less than 100 miles a week. I feel like I’ve been overcharged and punished for nothing.

I would like to have my monthly payments about $100
I have an absolutely clear and clean driving record for the last 25 years. However, GEICO increases the price of my insurance policy by $100 every year without any explanation. It's unfair, and I don't like this.

Average Rate Review
I am 71 years old. I drive my car about 20 miles a month. My policy is $75.00 per month. I think auto insurance is way too expensive. I would sell my car and use some other mode of transportation, but I live where public transportation is terrible.

Customer service on hold
They keep increasing the rates. I paid my insurance, and 5 days later, I received a bill for $56.00. I didn't see it in time, and they canceled my insurance. I spent 3 phone calls and about 4½ hours on the phone and got nowhere. One call was 2 hours and 20 minutes long. So I ventured out and found insurance for half the price I've been paying for 3 years. Thank you, Geico.

Don't bother if you're moving to Nevada
It was fine until they tried to bump my 6-month premium up by $1200 just because I moved from California to Nevada. I asked how that could be if I’ve never filed a claim and haven’t had a ticket since I was a teenager. All the sales rep said was, “Nevada is the most expensive state for car insurance,” and when I said that was insane, he said, “you’re more than welcome to shop around for other offers.”

Subpar & Greed-Ridden
They're a greedy company. I would recommend you shop around instead of settling on one quote. I was with them for over six years and had to switch because they more than doubled my insurance price from one state to another. When I switched from Geico, I saved $400 and received renters insurance.

Overcharged and Can No Longer Afford Car Insurance
I am being overcharged for car insurance, paying $243 a month for full coverage despite having been driving for over 20 years. In the last 4 or 5 years with Geico, I have had no accidents or tickets, yet instead of my car insurance decreasing for being a safe driver, it has increased from $150 to $190 and now $243. It just doesn't make any sense, and I would advise people not to get car insurance through Geico.

Geico Disappointment
I have been with Geico for 29 years. A lady backed into my little Elantra while I was sitting still at a Walgreens drive-thru. She was driving a Pilot SUV. She crumpled my hood, but she had no damage. No one was hurt. While she and a child were playing in the parking lot waiting for the officer to arrive, I took pictures and tried talking with her. She put her hand in my face without saying a word. I thought this woman was going to be trouble. It became clear very fast that this accident was a setup. A black truck came out of nowhere, and he was her witness. He was not on the scene at all. There were no tickets issued. Geico turned down the claim, and I was found not at fault. She sued Geico and got a settlement for $32,000. Four years and six months later, I'm still upset. This was a terrible injustice, and I am still paying an unfair amount for car insurance. The morning I was to give a deposition, I got a call from the court saying a settlement had been made!

Terrible. They cut my insurance off because they emailed me asking for documents to prove that someone did not drive my car. I am 65 and since retired, I don't check my emails regularly. There was no contact by mail or phone. I was driving around with no insurance and didn't know it. The person they needed information on lives three and a half hours away and owns the house I live in.

Love the insurance company. A great rate for someone who has never had a ticket or accident. Downloaded the Geico mobile app but have not been able to use it once. It constantly says the password is invalid. I reset it three times and called twice to speak with a representative. They said they would send me a link to reset it, but it still says it is an invalid password. Very frustrating, and I don't know how much longer I will be with you guys. My payment comes out automatically every single month, and I've never missed one.
