Geico will work with you!
I went to cancel my policy only due to cost as I was able to get a more cost-effective plan elsewhere. They reviewed everything with me and saved me so much money, more than 50% less than other offers.

Just like any insurance company, they raised the cost after one accident and again after a break-in that was not my fault.

The Cons of Auto Insurance
I haven't had a claim in all 68 years of driving, yet every insurance company in FL is too expensive.

Geico Experience Review
Except for relying more on AI instead of first talking to a human, this company is "top notch": they have made changes that fit my budget better and handled my (now deceased) husband's claim several years ago very professionally, even though the other party was unhappy at first.

I've been with Geico for years and have had very few claims, if any! Their rates are very high, but most others' rates are high as well. It seems like my rate should go down as a 'valued customer'!
Gregory

The best I could find at a manageable monthly payment
I love their prices. I have full coverage on a 2002 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro and a 2006 Ford Econoline van. A price nobody can beat: $117.00 per month. It has a few exclusions, like hospital coverage, but I got roadside help. They are well built. It would take a boulder to crush them. No boulders in Georgia.

Unexpected Roadside Assistance Limit
Mostly very good. I was taken by surprise by the "Roadside Assistance" rider on my policy that allowed only 3 assistance calls before the cost came out of my pocket. Firstly, no one told me about that little detail, and secondly, they actually left me stranded! I was angry and hurt. I have been with GEICO for many years.

Good, but expensive insurance!
Geico is very expensive. Had I known that my claim would double my insurance rate, I would have paid cash to repair the damages.

Truck gets older but rates go up even with perfect driving record and no claims.
I've been with them for over 30 years. No points, excellent driving record. My truck gets older, and I expected the coverage price to go down, but it just goes up. I'm ready to change, but old habits die hard.

Insurance with Geico
I could have gotten a better price with Allstate, but I have been with Geico for some time now, so I stuck with them. Geico won't cut anyone a decent deal unless the person complains a lot, and I didn't do that!

I have a good experience with Geico. It's very affordable, and that's what a lot of people are looking for. My tip is if car insurance were lower, the insurance companies would have more customers, which would equal more money for the companies. Definitely, I would refer Geico to anyone; just give it a try.

Geico too expensive
Stay away, they always increase the price of the policy.
Patricia

When I moved to NC, they were rated the best in premiums, so I went with them. But of course, every company just has to raise their rates every year. I am a senior and drive very little, so I was wondering if any company would have a less expensive rate, even though GEICO is still one of the most affordable. I'm still looking but not expecting much.

Excellent Service, Knowledgeable Agents, Low Cost
GEICO, when I contacted them directly and not through an online rate quote service, was very well priced—considerably lower than other offers and included uninsured/underinsured coverage where others had not. I was so impressed with the rates and the full explanation I was given about the policy that I paid in full.

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.

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.

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.

Not As Advertised
The advertised discounts never materialized. For example, I signed up for auto pay to keep my full coverage rate at $1,300 twice a year, but it still went up to $1,600 without any means to discuss the issue with a live service representative. All attempts to speak with someone were thwarted and obfuscated by voice menu directives.

Look Elsewhere for Reasonable Prices
If you're searching for more affordable insurance coverage, don't be fooled by GEICO's ads. Their rates are not as affordable as they used to be. It was a pretty good insurance company years ago. However, after Warren Buffet purchased the company, it has become nothing but a profit-driven business. They don't seem to care about your safe driving record or loyalty of 8 years.

Rate Increase
My rates increased even though I haven't had any accidents. However, because my credit score dropped, my rates doubled.

Too pricey for infrequent vehicle use
I had to choose GEICO because the other options were too expensive. I believe my perfect record played a role in my selection, but they increased my premiums by over $200 in the past year, which led me to look for a better deal. I mostly use a bike and only use my vehicles for doctor visits and material handling.

Difficult to Deal with and Overpriced
Their customer service is awful. They're rude and difficult to deal with. They overcharged me for months, claiming I lived in NJ when I didn't, in an attempt to get higher rates. Every few months, they required me to send photos of my cars, bank statements, credit card statements, and copies of my vehicle registrations. Their staff is highly incompetent and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

High Rates
The rates are significantly high compared to other providers, even with a clean driving record for over 20 years. Despite being hit in a parking lot and initially being told I was not at fault, they later changed their decision and charged both parties involved. Following this incident, my rates increased to the point where they were as high as my car payment.
