Is GEICO A Good Insurance Company? Reviews From Over 19,415 Customers

I have searched everywhere to get a lower price than my current Geico policy, including answering many questionnaire-type quote offers from more than a score of companies and middlemen, and no one comes close to my current rate that I'm paying Geico.

So easy to work with. Great customer service!

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

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.

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.

Geico is cheaper than some car insurance.

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.

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.

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.

They are very good, but very expensive.

I feel good about them. They are average to above average in meeting my needs.

Good company, easy to renew policy, good value for cost compared to other major insurers.

An amazing company. I am extremely satisfied.

The lowest rate compared to all the competitors!

Great price/value and excellent customer service.

I would tell a friend to forget about shopping around for auto insurance. Geico is very competitive, more competitive than Progressive and Direct auto insurances.

As far as I have interacted with them, they have been doing well. I haven't had any claims yet, so I don't know how well they pay off.

Excellent customer service and the most reasonable auto policy premium.

Good, but the only issue is they are increasing the rates by $100-$200 every 6 months.

Overall, we were very pleased, but like most people, we're looking to save money.

Extremely affordable and amazing to work with. I definitely recommend them to everyone.

Good except for the price.

I've been with Geico for years. The only problem I have is that it's so expensive. I pay $208 a month. I'm a senior, and that's too high.

Good, no problems.

They are accommodating as far as coverage options.

Highly recommend.

They have good customer service and they’re a great insurance company with acceptable prices.

If you get stuck on the road, call them.

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.

Excellent

Easy to deal with but have steadily increasing premium costs.

With insurance, I am so comfortable with their customer service. I feel comfortable working with them.

I would like the payment to be lower, but from what I have found out, everyone else is much higher than what I pay.

I have conducted a diligent, months-long online search for a lower six-month premium than my current GEICO policy. No other company could even match, let alone offer a better rate. GEICO is the very best!

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 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.

They get the job done. They have been there for me.

Excellent service and monthly payment.

GEICO used to be the head honcho to me, but now the prices are out of control. I have been browsing around for another car insurance company to deal with.

Good but expensive.

Good service.

No problems! Very easy to access!

Very good experience! Very happy with Geico!

Good, no claims, but Geico kept raising rates every renewal. Found the same coverage $500.00 cheaper elsewhere.

It has been good for several years, but I'm not sure if I am getting the best discount prices.

Excellent. Always check on getting lower rates if available.

It's good coverage, but every 6 months your insurance cost increases.

Premium is too high, but the service is decent.

Not as competitive as other insurers; however, I’ve been with them a long time. Accident-free and ticket-free.

GEICO has competitive pricing and great customer service.

Very good, but very expensive!

Very helpful and friendly service helped us save money on our auto insurance. Will recommend GEICO to others. Thank you.

Responsive. Rate went up from very good to bad. It increased by $160 in six months.

Okay, but it could be cheaper.

Good experience with service, but I feel I am paying too much.

I had them in the past and you get a good deal for your money.

Expensive, good service, very good mobile access.

Make sure your credit history is in excellent condition and try as many companies as you can find when it comes to quotes.

My car was hit in the US Bank parking lot while parked. I filed a claim but have heard nothing from Geico.

The price increases significantly every 6 months.

Geico quoted me a 6-month price. I paid the bill, then they raised it by $300 after I had canceled my current insurance. I would never recommend 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.

Make sure you know the final price is the one quoted. Geico nickeled and dimed us after we agreed on a policy fee.

Too expensive.

Geico was very good until I was able to get a premium from another insurance company for half the price.

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.

I started paying $168 with GEICO, and now it's $296. I've been with GEICO for over 5 years. Not worth it.

Geico raised my rate without providing an explanation.

Not great. The price was really too high in the beginning. Now they want to increase it because one person doesn’t use the Drive Easy app, as it’s too hard to stay connected to it.

All insurance is extremely high, and they have never offered any discounts.

They keep increasing premiums. Now, after 5 years, they are hundreds of dollars more.

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.

I wouldn't suggest Geico to anyone. All they've done is increase my insurance rates for no reason.

They unfairly raised the price without notifying me, and my payment ended up being around $300, leading to a cancellation.

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.

Our rates doubled within a few years, even though we have a clean driving record.

I have had to make two customer service calls, and they were great! The app is very easy to navigate and understand.

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.

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.

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.

Rates every six months are much higher.

I was quoted $210 per month, but since then the cost has increased to over $500 with no explanation. I've repeatedly sent messages but received no response.

I pay way too much despite having a great driving record. They are charging me more based on where I live, and the worker says driving doesn't matter.

So far, so good. Better rates than Geico.

GEICO is too expensive for what they offer! That’s why I am looking for a new insurance company for my next 6 months.

I was late on my payment, and that caused it to at least double. I'm on a fixed income, so coming up with more money for insurance is just not in my budget.

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?

The rates are too high on a fixed income. If they get any higher, I will have to look elsewhere.

I believe I am overcharged. I have paid my premium regularly and on time for over six years, with no claims! When I called to see if I could get my rates reduced and add my son to my policy, they offered no help. I'm not a fan of Geico and would not recommend them!

I was with them for over 10 years. No claims, never missed a payment. No accidents, tickets, nothing in 40 years of driving. I was paying twice the amount I should have been paying. When I called to cancel, they said they would match the new company's rate. Why didn't they automatically adjust my payment to the best rate? Why is the customer supposed to review the price every 6 months?

Better rates and lower prices.

When your rates increase with your insurance company, start shopping annually for new insurance.

The rates are on the high side.

I never had issues until I filed a claim. The adjuster, "Angel," was very unprofessional and incompetent, in my opinion. Otherwise, the service was very great.

I have never received a discount for being a loyal customer. I turned 60 and still no discount. No accidents or tickets, still no discounts. I don't drive much at all, and still no discount! I called them once asking about a lower price, and the man was rude to me. The very next day, he raised my premium! I'm going to find a different company. I just haven't had the time to do it.

Sending cancellation notices half a month in advance. I've been a faithful customer for at least six years. Rates went up.

The coverage and service provided are good, but the price is becoming too high.

Price change without warning. I found this was the case according to people I talked with, who said that's why they switched.

I was offered a much lower price by another insurance company, gave Geico a chance to match it, and they refused. Never had a claim in over 40 years on car insurance.

They charge more than I should pay, and I’m looking around.

Too pricey.

My car insurance is too expensive for a senior citizen on a fixed income.

GEICO would not allow me to split the extra-large payment! I was charged extra if I did not use auto-pay.

Overpriced and never contacted by an agent in the 4+ years I have been with them.

If you have one accident or ticket, you will pay hundreds of dollars more for the next five years. There is no forgiveness or anything.

No accidents or tickets, yet they keep raising my rates.

They never informed me of paperless options, then charged me.

If you switch to GEICO, only stay for one year. After that, rates hike and hike until you're paying triple what you started with by year 3. Every single claim, regardless of frequent driver, goes against you, even for a comprehensive claim which is never supposed to affect the rating class of other coverages. There is absolutely zero accident forgiveness, regardless of how minor the payout was. Steer clear of the misleading ads! Everything in GEICO ads only applies to your very first policy.

GEICO doubled my rates for no other reason than the car was bought new. I've been with GEICO for over 30 years, and this increase is disappointing.

Good but much too expensive for a senior citizen with a good record.

They are too expensive and keep going up in cost. They should provide discounts for long-term customers. This is the reason why we are searching for another car insurance provider.

Terrible would be an improvement. After 9 years as a customer in good standing, I have been treated with indifference to flat-out rudeness. Two months ago, my car was in a wreck, and I was not at fault. I still have not received payment. My adjuster changed three times without my being informed. The current adjuster responds whenever it suits her. Communication throughout the whole experience has been abysmal. No response to texts or emails. When calls are returned, I'm fed misinformation or flat-out lies. Still waiting for a check, but every time I reach out, I get no response. Look elsewhere for insurance.

GEICO made a mistake transcribing my VIN, putting me through a difficult time registering my car and causing the DMV to report lapses of insurance to credit bureaus. On top of that, they say I’m responsible for a change in the premium dating back to when they made the mistake. My GEICO agent blamed me for the mistake because my car purchase was at 7:00, after agency hours.

The cost kept rising even though I have an excellent driving record.

They told me roadside service was an added benefit. They never told me that using it was a "claim" against my account. Then my rate went up $200 a year right after a fender bender that wasn’t my fault. It was around a $1500 cosmetic repair. The other person was at fault and their insurance fully paid. Geico was out nothing. When I asked, I was told I had two claims in 30 days and insurance was due to go up anyway.

I didn't like their services over the last couple of years. The insurance cost went up for no apparent reason.
