Do not understand if other benefits were available.
Okay. I wanted a discount for seniors and retired persons.

They take care of you well, but prices only go up slightly.
I feel that when other companies' prices are going down, so should GEICO's. I have been with them for years, and they have taken care of me well. I was looking for cheaper options since they advertise that you can get a lot cheaper rates. They even offered until they noticed I had an account with them. I don't average 50 miles a day and have no tickets or DUIs ever.

Not the best rate or policy combination
I am just looking for better rates and a 1-year payment option, not 6 months. I signed up for no spousal coverage and sent the signed document in, but Guiko sent an email stating they do not have it. I do not want it! Guiko does not offer 1-year insurance or even combine my policies—I have a truck, side by side, and rental property (I own the property but have it in an LLC). Sole owner SLLC.

Geico Meets My Car Insurance Needs
I have been with Geico for quite a while but haven’t filed any claims. I do think they are a good company.

Geico is good, but gouges low-income seniors
Geico has always been good. But I have a flawless record over 40+ years, I drive 10 miles a week in a car valued at $1000. I’m on a very low Social Security income, but my rates still rise. Why is there no low rate for low mileage and a perfect record? I am very discouraged and am looking for some other option. Sad.

Insurance Canceled
Geico is canceling my car insurance because I had a weather-related accident. I don't think it's fair!

GEICO review
I was a 35-year customer and was given no consideration for a reduction. If other companies can give me the same coverage for half the price, then something is wrong. GEICO is supposed to work with military veterans. They were not willing to change, so I was left with no choice but to change companies.

Geico Rising Auto Insurance Rates
The initial 6-month premium was competitive; however, the next 6-month renewal amount was not, even though I have never had any insurance claims.

Back to GEICO
I had GEICO for years, then went to State Farm for the same price but it included tenant insurance. However, after an accident, my payment tripled, so I went back to GEICO. They gave me a great discount. Thank you very much for your discount. I was with you for many years. I wish I never left.

As with any insurance company, they do care about loyalty. The longer you stay with them, the premiums keep increasing. Always shop around when it's time to renew. This applies to any insurance company.

Rate Geico
I have no complaints with Geico as I have been with them for 10+ years. However, I would love to see a rate reduction, as I feel like I am paying way more than I should be for full coverage on my current vehicles.

Easy to work with but pricey
They are fine to work with. They are just expensive. $1500 a year for a 2008 car that had 70,000 miles on it seems excessive to me.

I have had a good experience with them until they doubled my monthly payments from $221 to $412 a month. This is the only negative thing I’ve had with them.

Disappointed customer
Consider obtaining insurance elsewhere. Representatives are rude, arrogant, and unprofessional, and they often hang up when you ask challenging questions. They frequently make changes to your account without your approval or authorization. They change premium amounts and never explain why. I've been waiting to speak to a supervisor to understand my situation, and although my account has been escalated and has many discrepancies, no one has attempted to contact me about the issues caused by the representatives at GEICO (checked and verified by recording). I need insurance and need my account investigated! I don't have time to look for another company, but I may have to because I'm not getting anywhere, and every day GEICO adds more to my payments without explanations. It's very frustrating and unprofessional. They should treat their loyal customers with respect.

I liked Geico until I had an accident. I backed up into a dumpster that was very low and I couldn't see it. Now I am paying about 50% more for insurance.

Tuve que cambiar de seguro porque la póliza me aumentó muchísimo por un pequeño choque en un estacionamiento. Creo que deberían cambiar esa política de penalización o ser más equitativos con los recargos. Nadie quiere tener un accidente. O analizar bien si fue una imprudencia para no castigar a todos por igual.

Honesty is Key
I was with Geico for years and everything was fine until I had my first accident. I appealed because it wasn't my fault and I won! Geico owed me money back, but they didn't calculate it correctly on purpose. If I lose trust and respect, I don't want to be with that company.

When it's time for a claim to be paid, they perform poorly. There's no communication and they are not on your side. They negotiate low prices with the body shop.
