You need to call them yearly; otherwise, they automatically increase your rate.

The rates are competitive. As senior citizens, we appreciate their willingness to explain their pricing and help in reducing costs!

Once upon a time they were affordable...
After 11 loyal years with Geico, once deregulation was in effect, their base rates skyrocketed. It's hard for seniors on a fixed income.

Geico Literally Saved My Life!!!
Back in 2013, a Geico representative informed me of a trap by the local law enforcement. It ultimately saved me. I was eventually found not guilty by a jury of my peers of vehicular homicide. But it was Geico that was trying to investigate my accident and was thwarted by local law enforcement, and stopped their efforts to get to the bottom of it. By warning me that the police were secretly trying to indict me, I was able to get an attorney and fight for my innocence. For that, I am eternally grateful and will use Geico as my insurance representative till the day I die!

Not the cheapest, but they seem to be there for you
The car insurance seems a little expensive. I wanted to have some extras with it like towing, which was a bit pricey. However, I like the fact that I could sign up with them personally without needing to provide information on my entire family, who have their own vehicle and motorcycle insurance. They are pretty much the same price as the rest, but a little on the higher range.

Sometimes things have to change.
We've been with GEICO for over 10 years. It's a good company, but the prices keep going higher and higher. With no accidents or tickets, we are still paying too much. It's just time for a change. Better pricing, more options.

Mostly Happy with Geico 😏
I have been very happy with Geico. They were there and insured me when everyone else wanted to charge me twice as much, and that was more than 5 years ago. My rates at one point were as low as $35 a month, and then all of a sudden they shot up to $55 to $58 a month with zero tickets, zero accidents, and zero claims, which is why I started shopping around. But to be perfectly honest, even though I can get insurance for $14 less a month on average, I think I'm going to stick with Geico because they were there when I needed a break, and that goes a long way with me.

20 years with Geico
I have had Geico for a long time, never had a problem. The only claim I have ever had was for my windshield when it caught a rock. They were really good and got my windshield fixed for a reasonable price. I have a pretty new car with the cameras. I just think they are a little high priced, but no complaints with service.

Geico Not What They Spend Millions on Advertising
Long-time client. Perfect driving record. Retired senior over 75, disabled wounded veteran. Geico stabs the elderly in the back, constantly. Geico refuses safe driver discounts to the elderly with perfect records. They do this to charge more (not unlike many other insurance companies) to pay for losses incurred by poor drivers. If you're late, you're fined $20. No rebuttal. Geico has to constantly advertise, spending millions as many veterans and seniors are leaving.

Stan Haas review of GEICO experience
I thought it was mediocre. They wanted me to take photos. They wanted me to take my car to a different repair shop than the one I usually use. After calling my usual repair shop, I was informed of the difficult process some insurance companies (not necessarily GEICO) use about using off-market parts, etc. Eventually, GEICO gave in to my requests.

Very poor ability to offer discounts. Their equipment to monitor driving habits is so antiquated that they keep pestering you about it when they are trying to boost their given price. The equipment is very buggy and will not work in this state, but they keep pestering you.

Unhappy with Unexplained Rate Increase
Don't use them as my insurance climbed from $112.00 to $147.00 with no tickets or accidents on my record. I was given ZERO warning that my rates had increased and no explanation as to why.
Thelma

I have to say that GEICO responds quickly to an accident, but they are way overpriced. I thought if I stayed with them a little longer, the policy price would get better. Little did I know, it doesn’t work like that, and I’m 67 years old. All they worry about is getting their money, so this year I’m pretty sure I’m changing insurance companies. If it means getting rid of my car, at least I won’t have a car payment and I won’t have to worry about renewing insurance.

Up, up, always up!
I would say don't do it! They are increasing my liability and uninsured motorist coverage for a 2005 Nissan Sentra. I'm 57 years old with no tickets or accidents, and yet I'm paying over $170 for not full coverage! It went up! I'm looking for another insurance company.

Slow but Finally Resolved
Following a minor damage accident where I was not at fault, it took a year to settle and required multiple calls to get action.
Crystal

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.

Geico Is Not Cost Efficient
I have used Geico since 2006 on and off, and this will be my last time. They are notorious for raising my premium every renewal time. This very month I paid $188.00, and my renewal for March is $244.47—a fifty-six dollar a month increase on a 2022 Chevrolet Trax. I am on a dire fixed income and cannot afford this. I will never use Geico again. I need cheap insurance with full coverage.

Don't Purchase
Do not buy. They don’t want to help you with a claim. They add their own coverage that is not in the policy. Very hard to get a hold of an adjuster if you need them.

GEICO Won’t Save You Money—It Only Charges More Than Other Companies

They used to be the best
Geico used to be a great insurance company that offered the best customer care. Over the last 10 to 15 years, they have become like all companies, greedy and money-hungry. I have been with Geico for over 20 years just for their caring attitude; they outshined most companies. It's not like that anymore. They have become a greedy company with very poor customer care and very high prices, with a 'pay it or lose it' attitude. After all these years, I'm leaving and will give my money to a different company.

Geico Two-Step
I have multiple insurance companies currently. Geico needs better training for their representatives. Don’t tell customers one thing and then tell the consumer the exact opposite from the next representative. I will never use Geico again, even though they are almost 50% cheaper than State Farm, Allstate, or Progressive.

Discounts for Auto Insurance
All was good until my policy lapsed for two or three days because I was in the hospital. Then, all of a sudden, my insurance jumped forty dollars a month, and it has remained there for some time. I feel like I am not getting the discounts that I should be receiving. I have had no tickets or accidents in over five years, yet I'm still paying a very high price for the cheapest insurance I could get. I shop all the time for insurance because I feel that Geico is not offering me the best deal.

Geico not the value anymore. Compare, shop and save!
Shop around - I had Geico for 30 years and they kept increasing the premiums until they got out of hand. I shopped around and got the lowest rate from Hartford for the whole year, not 6 months, which was what Geico was charging me!

Too expensive for just liability!
When I started with Geico, it was affordable, but my rates keep going up. Over the last 6 months, it's been ridiculous. I don’t think I should be paying so much for just liability, and I'm on a fixed income. I don't know if there are any discounts out there for being disabled and a senior, but that would be so helpful.

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!

Geico isn't great
Geico has been steadily raising our rate, and we have no accidents or tickets. I went to switch to Progressive, who saved me a considerable amount of money, but when my wife got on with Geico to cancel, they said we were on an old system and she could beat Progressive by $100. My wife said yes, and we are paid for the year. I would have happily paid Progressive the extra $100 to get away from Geico.
