Mediocre
My experience with insurance providers during the past few years has been mediocre. They have all been reluctant to offer discounts for low-mileage drivers, and their customer service is often handled by artificial intelligence or offshore representatives who are not fluent in English.

Good
It's been great when I needed roadside assistance and good when I needed to pay on a different date, but it went up $60 in a year. I feel like paying $160 a month for the coverage I get is a lot. To add more insurance, it goes up way too high. Other than that, I haven't had any problems.

After being with State Farm for almost 25 years, it was a pleasure switching to Geico. I haven't had any claims yet, but their pricing has been good. State Farm raised my insurance from around $1,000 per year to $3,600 within one year, and I have never had any accidents.

Geico is great, wish it did not cost so much
Geico has been great, but the cost per month has not gone down regardless of the kids no longer being on our account. We know the cost of living has gone up, but not enough for us to feel it's being fair.

Geico's been pretty good, but their rates are high compared to Progressive
Geico pays claims quickly, but their insurance rates are high for the coverage you get. Progressive seems a lot better in terms of pricing.

Expensive for Good Drivers
Every year, despite my excellent driving record, the policy goes up and up. I’m a good driver but don’t get the credit for it. I feel like I’m supporting bad drivers.

Geico stood by me
To me, Geico has been more than helpful, reasonable, and fair. They have stood by me during three accidents, one serious, caused by another driver who ran a stop sign, totaled my vehicle, and sent me to the hospital. Another when a very large van slammed into the right side of my new 2025 Toyota and then fled the scene.

Good, but not great
It’s been good for the most part except for the cost. Insurance keeps increasing with each renewal, even with no tickets and the fact that I drive less than average annually in miles.
Juliana

Do it yourself
I hate having to handle so much online. I prefer having the assistance of an agent. With Geico, you go from one person to the next step in line. It's difficult during stressful times; however, they did handle my claims very well in the long run.

Overpriced for Low Mileage
I find the rates to be overpriced. I have 5 cars to insure, and between the 5 cars and three drivers, we don't drive more than 5,000 miles in total. I can't afford to be paying $3,500 a year.

Horrible
Poor customer service, with automated responses and no option to speak to a person. They made changes to my policy without discussing it with me. I switched insurance companies to save money, but they raised my rates without discussion, bringing me back to my old higher rate.

Deceitful Geico
Price and quote cost switching is deceitful and dishonest. Geico consistently quotes lower prices, and after paying the premium, then increases the cost by 20% or more and charges again without approval! This has happened several different times.

Not very good.
Geico is way too expensive for seniors who are on a fixed income. They need to have special insurance just for people in this low-income bracket.
Joseph
Verified Review
Lower rates for seniors with good driving record.
In my opinion, it's overpriced in certain areas. I have no tickets, DUIs, or anything for many, many years, and I still pay a high premium. My other vehicle is a truck that I drive maybe once a month, and I'm paying a high premium for that too. I think it's a bit ridiculous. I believe someone in their 60s, almost 70, should get a lower premium for a good driving record, but that doesn't happen.

Not a positive review
My experience was not so positive. They charged me double payments during the last 3 months of my being with them. I tried my best to understand why they were doing that but failed to receive an explanation. I didn't want to walk away from GEICO, but I just couldn't afford to stay with them. Plus, my new insurance helped me tremendously with a great rate. I'm sorry for the departure.

No Accidents Yet Giving Me Surcharges
Customer service is okay, but the value is terrible. I’m 70 years old and have been driving since I was 16 years old. I've never had an accident, yet because a friend took my car without my permission and had an accident, and another friend was waiting in a Walmart parking lot when a gust of wind took the door and it hit the car next to me, my surcharge is very high.

Not happy with my car insurance price.
I am 92 years old and only drive 2 blocks to Walmart and 3 blocks to the doctor. I have had no claims since 2012, but I am paying $100.50 per month for nothing except because I have to have insurance. It seems I am being charged more than my car is worth. I drive less than 50 miles a day but don't get that privilege.

California rates, too much!
I think all insurance these days is outrageous. I believe it's this state, California. I have been a loyal customer to Geico and every time I turn around they are raising my rates. When I ask why, they say it's because of accidents that other customers are having. I don't see why I should have to pay more because of other people. I would love to leave them, but no one can beat them on pricing. So I'm stuck.

They didn’t honor the deal I signed up with. They never recognized the other driver on my policy, so my payments went up despite trying to rectify the issue several times. I will not be renewing at the end of my policy.

Will never make another policy with GEICO
I had a bad experience with GEICO. In 17 years of being insured, I never filed a claim, never had an accident, and never received a ticket. Both my wife and I are excellent drivers. Two months ago, my credit card was cloned, so it was canceled and reissued. In the meantime, that month's payment didn't go through, and while waiting for my new card, GEICO canceled my policy. Once I received my new credit card, I contacted the company, but they told me my 17-year-old account was closed and that I needed a new policy. They issued the same policy but charged me an additional $250 to reissue it, or $500 more per year. I contacted them, and the answer was, "Sorry, it's a new policy, and that is our policy; there's nothing we can do," and the supervisor gave the same response. After 17 years without any accidents and never missing a payment, I was penalized without any consideration.

Shouldn't be paying high premiums
I've been insured with them for years, but my rate continues to increase despite having no tickets or at-fault accidents. I can't find anything cheaper either. I used to sell insurance and received cheaper rates when I was younger and had more chances of accidents or tickets than now.

Cannot reach Geico by phone.
It is next to impossible to contact an agent by phone. I recently wanted to compare policies. I have an auto and a renter's policy through them but received much lower quotes from other companies. I wanted to give Geico an opportunity to meet or beat these quotes. The first number I called was a number on my policy. I was taken through a loop trying to sell me monitoring for a device they were giving away. The recording I received from the next number I called, taken from a Google search, informed me that I had a very long wait. I was given the option to wait 30+ minutes or receive a call back. I chose the latter. I did not receive a call that day or any day thereafter. My policy with them renewed automatically. I'm still trying to contact them.

Save 15%? Nope, they charge 50% more!
Great, until you actually have to file a claim, then your premiums are increased regularly. I have been with Geico for 10 years, and after replacing my windshield once, followed by an accident that wasn't my fault, my insurance rate effectively doubled. What started out at $84/month for full coverage has become $167+. Ridiculous, especially since I have an excellent driving record. Then their partner, Travelers, dropped my renter's policy, despite me having a storage unit that needed coverage, after I became homeless due to not being able to find affordable and safe housing (I have MCS). I'm changing providers, effective tomorrow, and have saved $489+ on a 6-month policy. So much for saving 15% or more with Geico... they actually charge more than 50% more than my new provider with the exact same coverage.

My husband and I shared a policy. He got into multiple accidents, and I got into none. When I tried to switch insurance companies, the accidents he was involved in showed up under my name. Geico refused to correct it, and now I am paying higher insurance because of it.

Geico: Slow Like Race Day
Fast responsive call center for claims, but the claim associate took forever to get claim amounts back in full. She was always driving when you called to chat about your policy and issues. It took 1.5 years to complete and get a great body shop to repair my vehicle. The shop still left the hood ground unhooked and hurried the claim to get my money. Paint and body work are not satisfactory after a closer look. Geico is disappointing.

Geico constantly raises rates
Stay away from Geico. They do not lower rates for good drivers, drivers using dashcams, accident-free, ticket-free. They constantly raise rates, claiming that the state raised the insurance rates, which is misleading. They seem more interested in giving their shareholders bigger dividends and are not there for the consumer.

Very dissatisfied.
I called and was put on hold for 70 minutes while I had to listen to a recording of "With GEICO there is no waiting" played over and over. When I finally spoke to an agent, she told me she was raising my rate when no change was being made. She was confused. Before I had a chance to correct her, she ended our phone meeting. So I've been overpaying by a lot for months. I was in the hospital in late April and came home with a chronic fatigue infection, which has forced me to sleep instead of taking care of business.
