Good but Expensive
Good overall, but almost $200 is too expensive for full coverage for my older Hyundai Sonata.

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.

Their customer service was okay, but the rates were too high, so I switched to another company.
Geico has high rates, and because of that, I shopped for lower rates.

There is nothing I would recommend GEICO change as my experience every time has been professional and pleasant.

Coverage is good. Rates are lower than others.

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.

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.

Car Insurance!!!
My questions are always answered in a timely manner and the rate is way better than when I was insured with Allstate and State Farm. I'm extremely happy, but overall insurance rates are outrageously high. I personally think large insurance companies are just greedy and they can get away with charging whatever they want.

Long-time GEICO Customer Review
I like the ease of claims processing and the claim handling process. I think the GEICO app is about 85% effective. Sometimes it doesn’t work or load, and it also doesn’t consistently accept biometrics (Face ID). You have to log in even though biometrics was set up.

Geico is good and I love all their benefits, but the price is just so high. It’s just hard for me to pay it every month.

Great service, pays claims quickly, may be overpaying
Great service and coverage for their customers. They have been my auto insurer since 1978. They have covered every claim I have submitted. I have a 20-year-old Miata. A couple of years ago, the decayed convertible top was torn away when a storm came through. Over the years, it had been getting noisier and noisier in the car from wind blowing in through the tiny holes in the top. My wife suggested I try Geico before I paid out of pocket to replace the top. Much to my surprise, they covered the replacement. Very recently, I rented a car from Avis in New Orleans which had a number of scratches and dings when I got the car. I did not take photos at the time of the rental, but did get a walk-around from Avis noting the areas of damage at the time of rental. A couple of weeks after the return, Avis tried to charge me $5K for damages. I handed it off to Geico and they covered it. I don't know if they paid anything but I did not. There is, however, another side to Geico. My sister, who does not use Geico, was hit by someone with Geico. They jerked her around endlessly. She hates the company. Since I am a long-term customer, I am probably overpaying. I recently checked other companies and found their rates significantly lower. I haven't changed though.

I was up for renewal and only when I reached out did they lower my renewal by $1800. Wish they would accurately re-evaluate rates at the time of renewal.

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!

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.

Geico is not what it once was.
Unreal how long it took to even get through the process. First, I had to take pictures. For some reason, they don’t send anybody to look at your car anymore. That took a day. Then I had to email everything to some office, and it took four days for that person to get back to me. Another afternoon and the next day to get a Rent-A-Car. Also, it was almost impossible to pick a car. I ended up having to spend 20 extra dollars a day because it was a larger car. Today, the process has taken almost 2 weeks, the car is in a shop, and no one from GEICO has called me for over a week. Really a very bad experience with GEICO. I’ve been a customer for 30 years at least, and I’ve never experienced this lack of care from anyone else.

No Customer Loyalty from Geico
Things started out well with a good price for the vehicle coverage. The problem arose after my son was involved in a no-fault accident where he was struck by another driver. Geico paid a claim to have the vehicle repaired but failed to pursue the other driver who had run the traffic light. Then, out of nowhere, they dropped coverage for the vehicle, citing the accident as the reason. After years of payments without ever being late or missing a payment, this is how they treat a long-valued customer. It shows no loyalty from the company.

The only complaint I have with Geico is they're too expensive
It is too high considering I have no DUIs, no accidents, no claims. I've just been paying a lot of money, and I'm thankful I've never had an accident or anything, but I think I should get a better plan than what they're giving me. As far as money-wise, they're charging me too much for my plan. I have found a couple of other options that save a little bit more, but I've been with Geico for almost 30 years, and they're doing me this way.

My Experience with Geico
GEICO is unbelievable with their rates. We have a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2014 GMC Terrain. My husband drives approximately 2 miles one way four times a week to work. My Terrain hardly ever leaves the yard. I’m retired, so it only goes when I need to go shopping, which is maybe 4 miles from us on occasion. We currently pay $173 a month for these vehicles. My husband has no tickets. I have a ticket from approximately three years ago when I was backing out of a parking space and a lady came around the corner real fast and hit me, so I’m assuming this charges against me. But anyway, I’m very unhappy with them.

GEICO Now vs. GEICO Before
I've had 3 increases in the first month of my policy. I canceled and moved back to my previous insurance company, which even lowered my previous rate, and my monthly payment decreased by over $80 a month on a 6-month policy. I was with GEICO over 6 years ago for 7 years with excellent coverage and customer service. I'm highly disappointed with the present GEICO.

My Geico Experience
Customer service is lacking. You have a better chance of driving 10 miles on any interstate and not seeing a bad driver than getting to talk to a real person. The AI is what you interact with. Prices keep going up even though I've never had a claim. Why?
