GEICO has a DriveEasy application where they monitor your driving to help base your auto insurance cost. It's annoying, and unfair. For example, I had a 92 score (which is difficult to achieve) and tonight I drove 3 miles, and Drive Easy said I had NO SLIP UPS. Yet, now my score is 85. No reason, and you can talk to a live agent in who knows how long. They simply don't care. It's a shame.

I hit a deer on the highway at ~70mph, damaged the right front side of the car. Called Geico to start a claim (comprehensive). They said there were going to pay for the repair, it was going to be covered, but it could be a total loss. One week later, they decided it was a total loss. Their evaluation of my vehicle was border line unethical. The repair was estimated to be $8,275, Geico valued my car at $7,919. They use a third-party company called CCC intelligent solutions to evaluate the car.
Their report had errors which I pointed to the claims adjuster and he didn’t want to correct anything. They devaluated the car via mileage and they also decreased the value of the car doing a virtual inspection (looking at pictures). I also showed them other similar cars with higher value and they declined to re-evaluate. After this experience I left Geico after being a customer for 8 years. That’s how they pay you. I won’t be doing business with Geico ever again.

My parked car was totaled July 7th and I immediately filed a claim. My first problem was speaking with my total loss adjuster, who spoke over me throughout the call and showed no sympathy for the loss of my vehicle/the impact it had on my life. She was rude, inconsiderate, and unsupportive. I think the least a claims adjuster could do during this stressful experience is be kind. They were also extremely stingy about my rental car return date despite my policy coverage and lack of settlement. (2 weeks early, still no payment issued.)
It is now Aug 18 and I JUST got the claim settled. I spoke with multiple reps who were unhelpful. I finally spoke with a decent person today who helped me a ton. Turns out THEY HAD THE WRONG BANK FOR MY LOAN DOWN THE ENTIRE TIME. So they were running in circles but never contacted me about it. How long would it have taken them if I wasn't following up? This was such an infuriating experience on top of the loss of my vehicle. I will not be using GEICO again in the future and I suggest you don't too.
Don't even get me started on the AI bot redirection when you try to call in. I called the general number, got redirected through 3 AI bots, then to a wait of 290 callers. I called the total loss department instead, the AI bot redirected me to the Service Department, which then had to redirect me back to Total Loss. AI is another awful invention that is ruining our planet, so if you're going to use it at least make it work.

Geico is a scam. Their 24/7 customer service is a total lie. Prepare to file claims with 3 different annoying AI’s and have to call several times, be on the phone or 15 min before being able to talk to an “agent”. Forget about the covering for your property, they find stupid excuses to avoid applying the coverage. “I consider” “I assume” “I believe that” is what they base their conclusions in. You are better off with any other insurance company.

I am in the midst of changing my insurance! I am a Senior who DOES NOT put on much mileage. As of today, my car has been sitting for 5 days without use. I went through some old papers and saw my Inspection dated 8/18/22 with 26,041 miles. As of August 7, 2026, I had 38,334 miles on the odometer. The difference between August 2022 and August 2026 being 12,293. That is about the average for most drivers, but for ME, this is a TOTAL FOR FOUR (4) YEARS! Divided by 4 averages MY ANNUAL MILEAGE TO: 3,073!
I did not have my other inspection receipts handy and will get another Inspection in the coming weeks, but I venture to say MY RATES CONTINUE TO GO UPWARD and I am not content with Geico right now! I am looking at other reputable companies and will do the same for my Homeowner's Insurance (which is through a Geico subsidiary, which I am also unhappy with. Will be writing a review on my Homeowners policy sometime soon.

If you ever need to call customer service for anything, you will not be able to talk to a real human, it's just ai transferred to ai. I was told that I would get a reimbursement for towing, and had never actually gotten it, and the ONLY way to speak to an actual person is within the app which I can't access unless I reinstate my policy which will cost even more money.

I had GEICO for a year, bare minimum liability and was paying $190/month. One year later and when they renewed my policy they increased it to $544/month. I had no wrecks, no tickets and my driver's record was the same as it was the day I got my policy and they decide to increase my premium by almost 300%. On an 8 year old car for a 48 year old man. It’s absolutely criminal.

⭐️ 1 STAR — IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS, I WOULD. After being a loyal GEICO customer for 13 YEARS, I honestly never expected to have an experience like this. Earlier this year, we had a bad snowstorm, and my husband was involved in an accident on his way to work. Thankfully, no one was injured. When I initially contacted GEICO, I was told that our monthly premium would only increase by about $3 because of the accident. I thought, “Okay, I can handle that.”
Then it was time to pay our bill. Our monthly payment had been around $263, and suddenly I received a notice saying we owed $405. That is a $142 increase, which is completely different from the $3 increase I was originally told to expect. The most frustrating part wasn't just the increase—it was trying to find out WHY our bill had gone up so much. I contacted GEICO and could not get a straight answer. Different representatives gave me different explanations, and I was left more confused than when I started.
After 13 years of loyalty, I expected better communication and transparency. I understand that insurance rates can change after an accident, but customers deserve a clear and consistent explanation when their bill increases by this much. This experience has completely changed how I feel about GEICO. Loyalty apparently doesn't mean much when you can't even get a straight answer about your own bill. I would strongly encourage anyone considering GEICO to ask questions, get everything explained clearly, and pay close attention to your renewal amount.

GEICO declared my car a total loss even though I did not have an open claim with them. Nearly a year later, GEICO valued my clean-title vehicle as salvage without informing me, apparently relying on a prior Progressive Insurance claim, and then placed the entire burden of resolving the situation on me. “Excellent customer service” appears to be a joke when it comes to Milton **, GEICO Auto Damage Supervisor.
If Milton is assigned to your claim, I strongly recommend requesting someone else. He left straightforward questions unanswered for months, communicated as though providing basic information was a personal favor, and refused to provide a simple itemized breakdown of my payment. He then told me to contact his manager, Charles **. When I called, Charles’s voicemail stated that he was on vacation and that Milton was covering for him—so Milton knowingly sent me in a circle back to himself. I have never experienced such dismissive, disrespectful, and insensitive treatment from someone in a supervisory customer-service position.

A GEICO policy holder backed into our five day old brand new 2026 Ford Explorer. We were not in the vehicle at the time and were parked legally on the street. The at fault driver took full responsibility. The GEICO adjuster was out to inspect our damage the next regular work day, so far so good. My complaint with GEICO is that it is their policy to write the estimate for LKQ parts. LKQ parts are used parts. I have argued with the adjuster's supervisor that my new Explorer already has suffered diminished value through no fault of ours. By insisting on LKQ parts (in this case the left rear door and trim molding) the diminished value is even greater. This is not acceptable and I am insisting on new OEM parts to properly fix our five day old vehicle.
Ford's collision statement on the use of recycled, salvaged, aftermarket and reconditioned components is clearly stated on the I-Car website. I am now escalating to the supervisors supervisor. To make us whole and return our new vehicle to pre damage collision they must use new OEM parts. The adjuster who originally inspected or vehicle has failed to return two messages from me. I do not recommend GEICO!

I switched from GEICO after repeated customer service issues. I spent a significant amount of time trying to have relatives removed from my policy who did not have regular access to my vehicle, yet I repeatedly had to contact multiple representatives and managers about the issue. Later, I received another notice regarding a different relative who had not lived with me for years. Because of these ongoing problems, I moved my insurance to another company. After switching, I was surprised to receive an additional charge that I do not believe I should owe. I contacted customer service and spoke with a manager, but they refused to remove the charge or provide a resolution I felt was fair. My experience with GEICO's customer service and billing practices left me very disappointed. I can no longer recommend this company based on my experience.

July 29, 2026 around 3:50 a.m. my home was violently crashed into by an intoxicated Progressive Insurance policy holder and under insured. The driver fled the scene but the owner of the vehicle was asleep in the back seat. Geico my Insurance carrier from the beginning was foul. Although major structural damages were done to my home, damages to my securely parked BMW and inside major damages to the framing of my home, Geico attempted to label as a collision incident at $1000 deductible rather than comprehensive $250 deductible. I immediately called that out and it was properly adjusted.
The crash broke through the concrete blocks into my garage resulting in contents of the blocks and items on my shelving damaging my car. The impact was so violent not only did it shift the structural framing, it sent a shock wave through my kitchen destroying my bar area, it wedged my pantry door and refrigerator between the walls... shifted my cabinets and windows, and other major issues to my home.
Regarding my auto the impact popped open my trunk, damaged my driver's side, damaged my bumper and cause fluid to leak underneath. Geico adjuster and Crash Champions repair employee attempted to shift responsibility on me to come out of pocket to have the mechanical undercarriage examined which is incorrect per the policy I carry.
As a disabled Marine Vet to suffer such a catastrophic structural building collapse directly onto my home and auto is an insult to the years of paid premiums and no cancelations. It is unethical practices of many insurance companies to collect monthly premiums but when it time to file a claim they make every attempt to minimize or deny the coverage.

I was extremely disappointed with how GEICO handled my claim. The day after my accident, a GEICO representative called me and repeatedly reassured me that they would "take care of me" and that my vehicle would be covered, even if Lyft did not cover the claim or only covered part of it. During that same call, I was asked to provide my Lyft driving log. I cooperated immediately because I believed GEICO was working to help resolve my claim.
Ten days later, after waiting for updates, I was informed that GEICO would not cover my vehicle because I was driving for Lyft, citing the policy terms. If that was always the case, I believe I should have been told that from the beginning instead of being given assurances that everything would be covered. I would have appreciated clear and honest communication rather than false reassurance followed by a denial days later. My frustration is not simply with the coverage decision—it's with the way the claim was handled. Customers deserve transparency and accurate information from the start, especially after an accident.

I would not recommend GEICO. My insurance was originally $90 a month, then it was suddenly increased to $130, forcing me to lose half a day of work to get it corrected. They fixed it back to $90, but now they're trying to automatically charge me $151 without my knowledge or consent. This has been extremely frustrating and feels unfair.

I used to pay around $400+ for a six month auto policy. I cancelled due to horrible customer service. My new insurance company ended up worse than Geico so I switched back to give them another chance. Real bad decision. They started by raising my rates to over $400 a month for the same policy 2 months earlier. I asked why, and the response from an agent was that my driving record is why. I have no points or wrecks on my record like before!
I sold a vehicle and tried to get it removed from my policy for a month. They said they couldn't remove it because they couldn't access my account either. I decided to cancel them again. I set the cancellation date on my renewal date so I wouldn't be charged the outrageous rate again. I was wrong. They still charged me for the full month as well as for the vehicle I did not own. The rep. said they were allowed to charge me because the state of NC says they can charge me for services not rendered if I cancel before my policy end date. I am still fighting this and went to my State Insurance Commissioner for help.

This is the worst company via customer service is none. Warren Buffett should be ashamed of owning this company. Customer service is disgusting and the cycles they put one through is unbelievable. Never getting a focused person on the phone and half of them do not care what your issue is. I'm in New York and I never get the same person on the phone nor do they follow up on previous conversations. Worst, I paid my premiums (high) on time monthly. I was asked if I would review at the end of six months. After all I would get a lower payment and a discount. They lied. Not only are my payment higher but a near 30 days before the end of the six-month period I tried to find out what that discount and lower premium was going to be. How do I review.
I was told by a live CSR that, "Oh it's automatic renewal and you will receive a discount for continuing the policy with Geico." They lied. My premium is higher. Never had an accident in 40 years, no issues, one or two tickets in my lifetime of driving and this is what I get. It's hard to find a reputable company with all these false advertisers online. No one pays $56, etc. for auto insurance. That is a scam also and it needs to stop! Warren Buffett you are the CEO of this company and are ripping people like myself who are good drivers and seniors like yourself off. Do your best people to find someone else.

We have been GEICO clients for 42 years. We have good credit, good driving records, and have always paid on time. I just paid premiums, added and removed cars as drivers and situations changed, but clearly didn't pay enough attention. Imagine my surprise when I really looked and discovered that they were charging me $7,000 more a year than they were charging new customers for the same coverage. This is an apples-to-apples comparison. When I called them on it, they dropped my family's premium from almost $9,000 a year to $2,000 a year - what it should have been already. How is that for rewarding customer loyalty???
When I asked for an explanation they gave me some huge runaround about changing rate schedules and blah blah blah. I talked to about half a dozen people, talking to a supervisor, a supervisor's supervisor, and so on. But the BS remained the same. When I pointed out that "changing rate schedules" hardly explains a factor of 5 difference, they gave me another run around about how they "couldn't do credit checks" or some such. "So," I asked, "does that mean that my credit score could drop from 800 to 400 without affecting my premiums?" The obvious answer is "of course not." So... if something happens that should increase my premium, they notice it immediately and crank up the premium. But if something happens that should lower my premium? They just can't be bothered.
Add things up, including inflation, and we have probably overpaid by something like $200,000. Yes, that makes me an idiot for imagining that a company has any scruples at all. I am talking to a lawyer about whether practices like this are legal, strictly speaking, but they are without a doubt unethical. Anyway, O Caveat Emptor. GEICO will, as a matter of standard business practice, quietly keep sliding their hand deeper and deeper into your pocket, hoping that you don't notice.

Geico was unbelievably expensive! I found another insurance plan with a major insurance company for LESS than half of what I was paying! And I actually got more coverage!

They PROCEEDED to withdraw an ADDITIONAL payment from my checking account!

Geico customer service is useless and extremely inconsistent. I called about the process and refund/fee associated with cancelling my policy, and received wildly different answers from each person I talked to. I eventually was told I'd receive a refund, but after cancelling I was charged a fee. I disputed this, and they just upheld the fee without explaining anything. You can't believe anything you're told on the phone, I've learned to always request an email detailing what we talked about on the call, but they usually don't. Around the same time, I got a fee from the DMV for lapsed insurance covereage. My best guess is that Geico messed up the process of verifying my insurance policy the last time the DMV tried to verify. I can't imagine how difficult it would have been if I'd actually needed to file a claim.

PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE from GEICO. When my son got his DL (after learner's permit), I called GEICO and informed them about it. I also inquired about change in the Insurance premium however, they said since he is already added to the policy, there will not be any change. After 6 months, the policy got renewed with a slight increase. After almost a month after renewal, they send me another invoice for $1,500/6mths. When I inquired, they said it is because my son now have regular DL.
They did not increase the premium when I inquired, they did not increase when the policy got renewed and one fine day they send me a bill for it as per their discretion. I informed them earlier to know what will be the change in the insurance premium so that I can get an idea and shop around. However, they simply increase it and send me the bill. I shopped around and got a better rate, so I called GEICO to cancel the policy before the amount is due however, they asked me to pay for the period when THEY realized that my son now have regular DL till the cancellation date. They are charging without informing the customer. I intend to file a case with BBB. Their customer service is also so pathetic.

Until recently I was happy with my GEICO auto policy holder paying, my premium every 6 months. I'm on a fixed income in Florida which has high insurance rates. A friend who has GEICO pays monthly at only a little more. In May, before my policy renewed I called to arrange monthly payments. I got a letter saying what each monthly payment would be (only a few dollars more than a 6 month payment). I just got another letter, 2 months after renewal, saying that the monthly payment rates are actually $12.89 a month more with a large payment next month to adjust the 2 lower payments already made. The person in May gave me the lower monthly rates but didn't tell me how much more I would be paying. I feel I was either lied to or GEICO is not training their agents properly. Of course, the discount I had is no longer available. Had I known the new rates in May, I wouldn't have gone with monthly payments. I'm paying for the agent's mistake or lie.
