Premiums were reasonable, suddenly skyrocketed.
Until last year, they were affordable. Without warning, my premium more than doubled, and that’s without any claims in the last few years.

GEICO: Great Insurance Company
Lowest rates of all companies.

I already wrote it on previous page.
I’m satisfied with GEICO. My one problem is we both had an extremely minor dent in a parking lot that was caused by another driver. Nobody paid anything as it was so small and not our fault, but GEICO has added 1 collision to our record. GEICO didn’t have to pay, but I’m still listed as having a collision.

GEICO?
GEICO is a good company overall, but if you don’t shop around, then over the course of 3 to 6-month terms, it will go up and only keep getting more expensive. Currently, the quote is double the rest of the competition. They handled the claim we made but did not offer a very good price for the car after it was totaled. We could not even come close to replacing the vehicle for what they gave us. Also, they break down the options too much; some of these should be bundled for a price. It can get confusing. Overall, it’s expensive and not worth it in the end if you do have an accident.

I've been a long-time customer and live in a rural area. I might see three cars on my 20-mile ride to the store. I'm a perfect driver, but they charge $185 a month. That’s ridiculous! I am retired.

Fine Company
Generally good service. I haven’t had any accidents, so I cannot rate their service in that area. My advice is to ensure the company advises the old insurance company to cancel the policy accordingly.

Poor service, too expensive.
They allowed someone to file a claim on my policy without discussing the details first, thus raising my rates with no forgiveness. I've been with them for 14 years.

Reasonably Satisfied Customer
I've never had any problems with Geico yet, but as a senior citizen, I do wish they would offer more discounts for those of us who are on a set budget. I feel their bundle package (auto/home) could be a little more reasonable price-wise.

Due to an accident and the fact that he was not listed as a driver on the car, and it was a government GEICO insurance, they dropped my insurance. So now I'm looking for a new policy for my cars.

Insurance Rates Keep Increasing
They charged me $160.00 for 6 months for a custom car and driving 13,000 miles a year. When I finally got a representative who would listen to me, she lowered my bill to $101.00. When I tried to reclaim some of that money, they said I couldn’t have it nor could I have free insurance for the trade. All the while, my car and mileage were the same as every year, 4,000 miles a year and under. It feels like a racket.

No one in authority to help with issue
GEICO said my mother owed an old bill before insuring us. I paid the bill after it was placed on my credit report. Then I had to pay it again just to get insurance, and I could never speak to anyone with any authority over this issue. Now they dropped me, and I am still owed money, but they are trying to get more out of me now. Stay away!

I will no longer use Geico for my auto insurance

I have had GEICO for my car insurance for 15 years. My policy recently went up almost $50 a month! And when I needed to actually use my insurance, when I got rear-ended by an uninsured driver, I had to do all of the work from phone calls to paperwork. It was like a full-time job.

DriveEasy is not easy to enroll
I've been having a lot of issues with their app trying to register for their DriveEasy program to receive discounts. I called to report the issues, and you can never speak with a human being at Geico. It's always a chat box, and after 2 hours, I finally got through and then got disconnected.

Poor Greedy Service
They don't pay out what they should if a claim is made. They forced us to get a brand new roof when it was slightly damaged by a hurricane, and they would not pay us anything because they said our roof was almost 25 years old. It cost us $29,000 to replace the roof; otherwise, they told us they would no longer cover us.

After 11 years with the company they punish
After 11 years with the company, they punish customers for reporting a claim, but they never paid for the claim because I paid with my own money. Even when I paid, they still used the report to increase my premiums. That's why I canceled my 11-year auto insurance and my house policy too.

I just canceled because State Farm is $38 a month less expensive for auto and $5 less for renters. You guys should be aware of this.

Geico is not the way to go! Believe this 68-year-old!
I would tell them not to use GEICO! I am 68 and their premiums get higher and higher, while I drive less and less! They rated me at 91 when I'm using Geico's app on my phone all the time! Makes no sense to this 68-year-old! They will probably raise them again!

I plead the fifth on this one
The rates are too high for me. I've been with them for a while, had no accidents, and my policy keeps increasing. They give me an excuse that I do not accept. I should be given a better rate, considering my performance in paying the bill on time and not making claims. If you want me to continue with Geico, then you need to work with me.

Geico is costly, I am searching for a better auto insurance from other auto insurance companies.
I have not experienced any accidental claims yet, but one thing I noticed is that GEICO is expensive. I am looking for an alternative auto insurance provider with a competitive rate.

I cannot seem to get a better rate through Geico even though I travel less than 5,000 miles a year. Even with the state minimum, I'm still paying more than I think I should have to.

Terrible
Terrible, you guys ripped me off for 3 years. I got rates for half of what you charged me. And at the end, you sent me a letter saying that it's going up by 11 dollars. I'm a driver that rarely uses the car, never had a ticket or accident, or any problems at all, and always paid my payment on time. To top it off, I called you after I obtained new insurance with another company. The person on the phone stated that I need to continue to pay my payments for the next 6 months no matter what. This is ridiculous. If I don't receive my prorated balance of my last payment I just paid to GEICO auto insurance, I will make this public. Goodbye!

Seemed okay, but then it changes when you dare to file a claim
Absolutely horrible. I signed up for a policy, paid, and got my policy active. Terrific. However, 9 days in, I had to file a claim because I backed into a guardrail. That was my mistake. After filing the claim and getting it approved, Geico decided to either cancel my policy or triple my premium. They cited an elevated risk as the reason. I found it shady that they could just unilaterally pull the rug out from under me just for filing a claim.

Disappointed with the service
If you have other options, I'd recommend considering them. Geico seems to cater to people who can't find regular insurance. I'm not sure how I ended up with this company. They initially lure you in with low insurance rates. I started at $85/month and am now paying $228 a few years later for a car that has numerous safety features. I have no accidents or tickets in over 50 years, no DUIs, and I drive less than 5,000 miles a year. They don't seem to take any of that into consideration. It appears that they base your insurance on the rest of the state and how many accidents, tickets, or claims they have. It doesn't seem to matter if you're a great driver. It's frustrating that the insurance rates of responsible drivers are affected by those who cause accidents or get tickets. I can't think of any positives about this company.
Anita

Very Disappointing
They're a good company if you have plenty of money. They don't offer any discounts or breaks. When you file a claim, it takes them forever to process it. They tend to ignore big claims altogether. They don't give you enough money back on your claim to repair what you have damaged. They always opt for the cheapest route.
