I found this to be cheapest and after being with them for a year my insurance quote decreased a lot so it's even more affordable. The only disappointment is their lack of double checking what they are entering into the computer system. Somehow my VIN was entered in wrong leaving Secretary of State to assume I did not have auto insurance so I had to go in and show proof when I needed new tabs which caused another issue and I had to make my trip longer as I needed to get on the phone to have it corrected.

GEICO has yet to disappoint when filing a claim. Most recent incident was a cracked windshield on the family van. Sent an auditor to assess the damages and had the windshield replaced the next day.

Cheap/affordable but good customer service. My old auto insurance rates went up for no reason other than I moved. I shopped around for rates. I found Geico was the cheapest around but also had the most comparable plan to what I already had. My boyfriend has also been shopping around as his rates went up as well and he found the same info, that Geico is the cheapest!

The customer service is very helpful. You can talk to a human. You can call 24 hours a day to report a claim. You can pay auto insurance online or phone. The rates are great, it's a local company. You can review once a year.

They say they are military friendly but they are not. They gave me a first quote at reasonable price but second time they skyrocketed my premium with all condition being same.

I only had one glass class but they paid it promptly and gave me no problems. A great company to use. Their mobile app is very easy to install and input a claim.

I have been with GEICO for the past twelve years. My spouse and I have had our rates lowered significantly since our child moved out and got his own GEICO auto insurance. We have had no accidents since we retained GEICO for our auto insurance. We are satisfied with our deductible which reflects our safe driving record. GEICO has the best customer service. Their representatives are always happy to help us with any questions or concerns we may have. If you are a safe driver and have a good driving record, GEICO is the auto insurance company I would recommend time and time again.

My son's father had my vehicle as his was down heading to our son's basketball game. Ended up in an accident which was caused by a signal light that was out for the traffic going straight but the light for turning light was working. Residents of the area said many accidents had occurred at this intersection due to the light not being fixed for some time now. Geico failed to investigate the light, ignored the police report that also mentions the light w/ multiple accidents and placed blame on my driver when the city should have been responsible for the repairs and damages. Not only this - the adjuster comes to the house to submit a estimate for the vehicle. Recommends one particular shop for repairs and the 3 locations they have due to the fact my vehicle is a Mercedes Benz. The shop can't get me in for 2 weeks so I set up the appt. With them. Get the car towed to them a day ahead.
All the while Geico has placed me into a rental from day 1 of the wreck. I'm thinking "Great." The dealership starts repairs but finds the estimate is NOwhere near the estimate they gave. Actually tells me they can believe the car was not considered totalled as the repairs are now past $10,000 which is close to the value of the vehicle. Geico values my Suv at $14,000 - well beyond what the used value would be. I call the dealership to get an update on the vehicle. They are still waiting for Geico to respond back on their decision. We are at day 24 now. Initially was told car would be fixed 7-8 days.
Day 31 of repairs the rental company is now telling me my rental is no longer being covered since past 30 days (policy they say). I've paid my insurance w/ no lapse for the past 5 yrs. To them and they refused to help me out as a single mom, leaving me with no vehicle due to policy. I will be telling ALL of my friends family and any associate to NEVER do business with Geico. This has been the absolutely horrible experience with an insurance company in my life. Day 42 I finally get my car back and a bill from the rental company for more than $500 on top of a $500 deductible.

I think that they don't have enough coverage for the amount you have to pay. And why is it that they say Michigan has the highest rates? What's so different here from other states. Ask that question and see if you get a real response.

Did not receive my Declaration and ID cards last month (pay premium every 6 mo). Called Geico on Oct 14 for ID & Declaration. Asked me "Why do you need it?", "US Government (state) requires I have proof of insurance.", "Do you drive over 12000 mi. Per year?", "No." After long battle about upping my premium from 10,000 mi. Yr (we are retired) to 12,0000, she didn't ask me if I drive over 10,000 per yr! But asked if I drive over 12,000! My answer several times was no. Then I asked for a supervisor (and she was probably standing in front of his desk with hands on her hips to intimidate him to side with her lies). Supervisor would not listen, would not put insurance back like it was AND said he was emailing my ID and Declaration at that time. Never received. I still do not have the documentation!!!
I have now been billed the extra premium for which I will pay (because their form of calculating 2 weeks of premium use will be an overcharge and will exceed any refund). Here is the kicker! I just viewed my oil change records and since January 29, 2015 to October 15, 2015 we have put 7726 miles on the vehicle (documented). They will not put the insurance back to 10,000 annually and stand firm on charging me for 12,000 miles. All this because I wanted my ID cards! The Declaration goes in my file and I will share a copy (not needed) with my church because I (3 times a yr) drive over there, pick up children's school supplies and or other materials, and take another 4 mi. To the Baptist Children's center AND without being asked, I give them (only them) a copy of my insurance. I'm paying their ripoff and will have no further contact with Geico. I do not deal with crooks.

I have had GEICO auto insurance for 6 years, and I am now in my first claim with them and it is horrible. It is worse than being in the accident, which was not my fault. Of the 4 people I have had to be in communication with, only 1 was worth talking to and that was Colby **. Due to the plethora of sloppy claims agents, I have moved on to another auto insurance company. They are cheap for a reason, because they handle they claims cheap and slow. It is like going to Walmart to process your auto insurance claim. They are that insufficient in their quality of service.

I enjoy the useful benefits that receive from Geico. I've had near-constant issues with Geico's billing over the past two years. I often have issues with my payments going through, even though I receive confirmation. In many of those cases I've been told that there was no record of any such transactions in their system. Aside from that, my monthly rate tends to randomly increase every few months by small, but noticeable amounts. Every time I contact Geico about these rate increases, I am told that "tickets and accidents over the past few years are just now starting to effect my account." No representative has been able to cite exactly what tickets or accidents are causing the increase in rate. Overall, quick and friendly customer service, but terrible business practices on the part of the company.

Got a hit and run on my car. Went to Geico to report it. Found out I had Limited Collision and they will not cover any cost to fix it. You see Limited Collision has some fine print. If you do not know who hit your car, you are screwed. Not good while your car is new and you still owe $34,000 and pay $700 per month for it. There are no agents that talk with you when you are buying a policy. Get an agent, get some professional help, and them money you think you are savings with Geico is nothing. I hope other avoid selecting the Limited Collision feature, and just go Collision. The Geico people were not interested in any negotiation to help. So now we pulled all our cars and house away from Geico and moved to another Insurance Agency.

Geico is supposed to be this great insurance company? Right. My daughter added another car to their insurance policy a few weeks ago. They should have had a Mazda 3 and 6 on their insurance policy. The insurance agent replaced the car, instead of adding a car, on the policy. Maybe the 6 and 3 confused them, who knows?
So Saturday, she and my son-in-law are rear ended and Geico tells them they don't have insurance for this car in spite of copies of emails that Geico was sent showing that the agent messed up from the get go. In this accident there is no claim against my daughter's policy with Geico because they were stopped, in front of a police officer directing traffic I might add, but Geico's answer is, "Too bad we blew it but that car is not covered. We won't process the paperwork for the accident. We will be happy to take your payments for car and homeowners insurance, but we won't make right our mistake."
Needless to say my daughter and son-in-law will be looking to find another insurance carrier for their insurance needs if someone does not step up and make this right. This would be a bad move Geico. You will be losing a customer who pays their bills on time and has never had to file a claim before. Their first claim and it has turned into a nightmare. This should have been a simple phone call since they have no fault in the accident. No one should be victimized by the people who are paid to help them. Shame on you!

Nothing has change." What happen to being helpful and courteous and calling back since I call you. Also what happens when you give a auto repair to make repairs and then you change your mind. What happens if there is more wrong with my car now since you're telling me to take it right now in the middle of repairs is Geico going to liable for my car or not since they approved the auto repair prior. They take your premium of $443.00 every month for total coverage.

I have been with Geico for almost 2 years. Never had any problems. Never had any accidents, until now. When I signed up with Geico, I had a 93 Pathfinder. When I bought a new car, I emailed Geico informing them of all the necessary changes - I no longer have the 93 Pathfinder, I have an 01 Pathfinder, etc. I received one email back from Geico, and that was that. I thought I was good to go. GEICO NEVER UPDATED MY CAR INFORMATION. SO now, after my accident, they are not taking responsibility for my liability.

My husband was in an accident with a girl that has GEICO insurance. She ran a red light, was issued a ticket, and there were witnesses. We contacted GEICO and he gave his statement. We tried calling the girl assigned to our claim but always got the answering machine. When someone finally called us back, they said they were waiting on the police report. I faxed it to them - we had it for 2 days. In the meantime, we went through our insurance because we were tired of dealing with a company that wouldn't call us back.

GEICO took care of my vehicle because it was totaled out but then came the song and dance for medical, pain and suffering. I asked the initial claims associate “Should I get legal representation?" from day one but she assured me that they handle all of that (far from the truth). To make a long story short, I went to my physician and chiropractor for multiple visits required. Once I told them I might be finished with my visits then came the determination of bills and pain and suffering. I got changed around to 5 different adjusters in that time.
The last had the nerve to asks me how much I thought I should receive out of the accident (stupid question right)?! Needless to say we didn't settle for anywhere near the amount.

I ask the lady to tell me why he was not on my 2013 policy. She said, "He was reported as your estranged spouse." I said, "Okay, so how is it that I owe you for any new policy after the 2013 policy?"
She replied, "We were not notified of you and him being estranged." I said, "You agent just told me it is on record as an estranged spouse." I said, "Is that right.” "Yes ma’am," she said, "but we were told different in 2014." I said, "By me?" She said, "No ma’am, by him." I said, "So you're telling me I did not let you know so I am liable for his policy because he said we were a family and I lived there.” I said, "Okay, what license did you get on me?"

I had to go to the police station to get this although I knew she was also insured by GEICO since I saw their blue envelope in her hand. She never apologized. The police gave her a ticket based on a witnesses report.
It gets worse from here. They do no investigation. I sent them the police report and they still refuse to waive my deductible. They didn't send an adjuster to do an estimate for three weeks. They totaled my car which was in mint condition and inspected and serviced two weeks earlier. The medical claims department is even worse. I think they are told to deny all claims. When I was at the hospital to get an ultrasound to check for internal bleeding their medical examiner told the hospital there was no record of my claim because they didn't receive the form. Their mail sits for two weeks in their office.
You never speak to the same person twice unless they are hounding you for a treatment plan so they can limit their liability and end your claim. My car is still sitting.

Someone vandalized my car and I called Geico claims to report the incident. The person on the other side of the phone made a note in the system that it was hit by the door of another car. I told him that it wasn't hit by another door and I don't know what happened as I wasn't present when the incident took place. He didn't bother to change the statement and marked it as collision damage instead of comprehensive damage just because I have a $500 deductible on collision damage and $0 deductible on comprehensive damage.
When I argued with him, he said the adjuster will make that determination. So I took an appointment for car inspection the next day with the adjuster and the adjuster just looked at the notes and told me that it looks like it was hit by another door and would be collision damage. After arguing with him for couple of minutes, he changed his story and told me that it was hit by a white car while it was backing up and it has left some paint on my car. I told him it was not paint and dust and he said it was still hit by another car. So the adjuster has no knowledge of what he was talking about and went forward with the collision damage as he knew I had a $500 deductible.
I reached out to his supervisor and manager and they asked me to come for the inspection for second time. They repeated the same thing that it was hit by another door or car or an object and would be considered as collision damage. They were not sure what happened and just assumed it was a collision damage so they can get the money out of my pocket. The damage looks like someone kicked the door and vandalized my vehicle.

What about the 3rd increase, 4th increase, 5th increase, 6th increase with zero claims? Investigating with the Dept. of Insurance our zip code and complaining about excessive rate increases. We have receipts/policies that support these facts. What we do not have is a report that supports GEICO's increases.

My dad hit my car in the driveway, but even though we had separate insurances from GEICO they charged my GEICO insurance for the damage instead of considering it a collision on my dad's policy. I was told there was a law behind that, and when I asked to send a copy of the law they failed and never send it. After I got my car repaired, I left GEICO and signed up for State Farm and they are way better than these guys. I definitely am going to make sure none of my friends and family get screwed by these guys.

Every renewal my Geico policy goes up, which I don't understand. I don't have any points or accident or tickets. I talk to the rep, They always says it's nothing I did. I had other insurances. I never had this problem. I think Geico does the bait and switch. They get you in with a low rate then hit you every renewal with higher rates. Geico should be investigated about their insurance practice.

Have been a GEICO customer for more than 50 years, filing only 1 claim ever for $2000 to pay for damage resulting from my scraping a curb when exiting an unlit area following my exercise class. After the claim, my policy was increased. I was told, as one reason, to reimburse GEICO for the same amount. I was then told that this was required by the state of Va. Further, (an additional reason offered was) that my rate increase was required to share the cost of other claims made in my area (Ashburn, Virginia) where the algorithm was largely used to identify my share of the cost. I have a homeowners and liability policy with GEICO in addition to my auto insurance. I am considering a change from GEICO.

I was rear ended on August 24th of this year. It wasn't a horrible accident, just damage to my back bumper. I was sitting at a red light when a GEICO customer slammed into the back of me. I filed a claim later that day. I'm still waiting for someone to even look at my car. I have been told by 3 different adjusters that they're simply waiting for the other party to provide proof of coverage. THIS PERSON IS INSURED BY YOU, you should know if they have coverage or not. I had to go to the ER for my head and neck. My head bounced off the steering wheel and then came back. Thankfully the airbag did not deploy because if it would have, I would have been hurt even more. Since filing the claim, I have been advised that it would be best, if I just file this accident under my own insurance policy and then let both insurance companies handle it.
I do insurance for a living. That is not how insurance works at all. If YOU'RE at fault, you are held liable for the damage and responsibilities that comes with driving. I will not pay out of pocket $500 of my own money to get my car fixed and my policy to pay for the medical cost, and then have my insurance rate go up and I be punished when I am NOT at fault. GEICO is advising people false information. I have left my claim's adjuster multiple voicemails and has yet to return any of them.
I'm very disappointment with this whole situation. I have NEVER been involved in any type of accident, and I pray I never do, specialty with someone who is insured by GEICO. This is ridiculous to have to hassle and track down people. I have all the gentlemen's information that hit me. I've spoken to him directly since the accident, and even he has stated that he has scanned, faxed and email all information that GEICO has requested to move forward with the claim, the very first week of the accident. So here we are September 17, and I'm still waiting to have this resolved. I'm disappointment and upset.

After an accident I gave GEICO representative Tierra an opportunity to investigate an accident involving one of their clients. I gave GEICO phone number of two witnesses to investigate an accident. The woman Tierra was very unknowledgeable and inexperienced investigating anything. I give them every opportunity - has a client lied to them to make things right? The woman had a negative attitude and really cannot understand what she was saying. I gave them contact information for two witnesses. They never even came and look at the vehicle that was hit, never even looked at the vehicle that was hit. And of course their outcome was negative and denied my claim. I called her supervisor Mark and gave him every opportunity to make things right. They refused to do so. Luckily I was able to get footage, actual video footage of the accident.
So what could have caused GEICO 12 - $1,500 in auto repairs will end up costing him over $10,000 in legal fees, damages, lost time to clients, lost wages over a decision they could have been made very simply by having a well-experienced individual doing a job that they are qualified for. I would do everything in my power to make sure that the public is aware of GEICO’s poor quality service. I will be notifying the newspaper and the Better Business Bureau as well.

I have been with GEICO since 2010 and every 6 months it gets worse and worse. These people has a lie for everything you ask them. First off I ask why every 6 months do my insurance go up when I haven't had any accidents, and every rep that I have talked to gives me the same line, "I live here too in Georgia and mine’s go up also." PURE LIES! So this goes on every 6 months for 5 years. I'm sure others have heard this same bs. Now here is the real kicker! I called on Sept 9, 2015 to make a payment that was past due of $178.28 which consist of me changing my due date from the 5th to the 25th of Aug and was told that I only owe $112.92 to close out my old policy from July 16 to Sept 6, and for her to quote me a new policy I would have to pay the $112.92... I agreed to pay the $112.92.
The rep proceeded to let me know that we are recording the conversation and I agreed again. I asked her “With it being that I'm paying on the 9th would my payments be due on the 9th?” She said yes. I told her that I want my payments to be on the 20th. She said that would be fine but I would have to pay $174.58 on Sept 20th ($133.55 mo + 42.26 for changing the date from Sept 9th to 20th at a prorate). The conversation even went so far as to me making split payments of $87.29 by Oct 20th so the system will not take a payment in full. I repeated everything she said to me. With all of this being said, here it is Sept 16 and I'm looking at my card statement and I see where there was a payment of $133.20 taken out of my account 5 mins after the $112.92 was taken out. I called and spoke with a rep about it and she tells me there's nothing she can do about it.
I told her to get me a manager/supervisor. I was put on hold again and a Regina ** came on and proceeded to explain to me what I already know about my insurance and having a lien. I had to interrupt her and explain again what happened and I want my refund for the $133.20 that I didn't authorize. She again tried to explain away the reason why it was taken out. And I again explained to her that I need my money back because I have to make my car payment. She obviously didn't care. She then said for me to hold on again and she will do my refund. She then comes back and says that I have to send a email requesting a cancellation of insurance in order for me to get my refund and I would have to wait 24-48 hrs for it to be reviewed and then I would have to wait another 3-5 business days to get my refund.
I told her “You just said you were giving me my refund. Now you come back with THIS!” By this time I'm really INFURIATED! I told her “So now you're going to make me wait until late next week to get my refund and be late with my car payment!” I am so through with GEICO!! I cannot believe how HORRIBLE they have become. I don't care if I have to pay more elsewhere. What difference does it make? They keep raising the prices anyway! They really suck!

I have a 2008 Honda Civic and in 2012 I struck a large raccoon on the highway which caused damage to the radiator and caused the engine to overheat. Geico replaced my engine with a salvaged engine. This past week my car began to overheat and I took it to my mechanic. He looked at the car and directed to a Honda service bulletin pertaining to cracked engine blocks. The engine Geico used in my car was one of the affected engines; however, because it was a salvage engine Honda would not service it. This left me with the only option being to go back to Geico because they guaranteed the work and parts for the life of the car.
I was advised today that because it was a manufacturer defect that Geico would not repair the engine. As a result I am left in the position where the manufacturer will not touch the problem because the engine is salvaged and Geico (who placed the salvage engine in my car) will not fix it because they think it is a manufacturer problem. Any suggestions besides confining to press Geico to fix the problem?

From the beginning, they have fought paying everything, even though they are MY insurance company. They're to supposedly protect me. My car was deemed totalled. They said they paid it out and stopped paying on the rental car. I couldn't get a new car until they paid off that one. But they have a million tricks. They sent the payment to the wrong address that prolonged the payoff by almost 2 months. I had to pay a car payment on a car that didn't exist!! They are such...JERKS. It's been 3 months since my accident and they still keep playing games and not paying my medical bills that my policy covers and I paid them to protect me from.

I have a complaint. I originally became a licensed driver in NY state in 1989. In 1994 or 1995, I drove my girlfriend's car and was stopped. Her insurance card was not in the car, it was in her house, which was in long Island, NY. Before I could rectify the incident, we broke up. Since I couldn't prove insurance coverage, my license was suspended. I basically could not afford the fines at the time (well over $1,000.), so I moved to NYC where I wouldn't need a license.
Fast forward 26 years, I had to buy a car because I could no longer get my 81 year old mother around on public transportation. I was given a quote of between $650 and $700 per month at full coverage, due to your policy of discounting driving experience prior to the last three calendar years at the time of application. Notwithstanding the fact that I paid the fines due from 1994 and 1995, took and passed a written and road test, and that prior to my suspension in 1995 I had a total of 8 points in six years with no accidents. The last points were from 1991.
I feel that my prior driving experience should be counted so that I can receive a quote at a lower rate. I will turn 57 this month, I went back to College as an older person last year, and will graduate in the Spring of 2016, but my car is in a rented driveway wasting away because I can't afford the insurance rates. I went to and passed Driver Education in high school, and have no recorded accidents on my record. I have proof of everything I have claimed above; i.e., my Drivers Record from DMV, my college transcripts, etc.
It would please me if someone from your company could contact me and rectify this apparent injustice, with some type of waiver. I could understand if I was some kid with a horrific driving record, but I am middle aged, bordering on being a senior citizen who has driven for years with no accidents. Thank you for your time.

I didn't get the policy and good that I didn't. I don't think the policy was bad but the customer service was the worst. I lived at NYC for 3 years. I recently moved from NYC to Providence, RI, very happy to get my first car. I had definitely drove for years back home but got my US license 9 months back. I called customer service, gave her details. Her name was Amber. I had heard from my friends that if I have more years of driving, my insurance rate will be less even if I drove in other country. So I told her to have multiple years in my profile. She gave me a quote of $189/mth for 6 month or price of 6 months upfront. I chose previous. She checked my driver's license and told me that this is valid if I am taking policy for registered car at New York but not at RI as I don't have that many years in US. So now my policy will be $350 a month.
I was still okay and genuinely asked her if there is a possibility to get insurance from NYC since I recently moved and my husband was still living there. This was just a query from a customer to be better informed. Now she tells me it might be an insurance fraud just because I asked her this question. I was doing this for the first time in my life and it was just a customer question. Then I discussed with my husband and asked her if I could cancel sooner than 6 month. Don't you think that was legitimate question??? Here's what she said: "I overheard you and your husband discussing and since you are not thinking of commitment I would advice you to go to local insurance broker who may be able to find a better policy for you. If you want with us you have to pay $ 350 x 6 months full payment today or we cannot give you insurance." Now who has that much money when you recently moved and buying a car?
I was so furious and asked to speak for her supervisor Liveda. She was no help because I accepted to pay monthly for 6 month but she kept on insisting of upfront 6 months payment. I agree that many car insurance are to be paid upfront but she told me that I could do monthly payment or 6 months upfront. If you have a excellent credit score and you get this treatment (no trust even agreed to have a contract just by overhearing husband/wife's conversation and asking legitimate question) then Geico definitely not for me.

We both have GEICO so we filed a claim because the old lady did not want to file nothing. Then GEICO called her, she admitted to hitting my car, then she called back in and stated that she was caught off-guard and she did not hit us, we hit her. We submitted 14 pictures and 3 videos to GEICO, we also had the manager of the car wash as a witness give a letter with his information that he witnessed the accident! GEICO states it's our fault or no one fault! We argued and finally, still no luck because this company is a fraud!
Then after one month, the manager says that they'll pay half my deductible (which is still bs because they had a witness statement). So I decided to lose this and just let them fix it because I was not winning and wanted my car fixed. Wanting to take my new 2014 Ford Fusion hybrid to Ford for repairs, they convinced me that there recommended shop could fix it. Me, like an idiot, agreed this was Cooks Collision. We did the walk-around the car. Before, everything matched up - one color called 'darkside metallic'.
Ok then 6 days later, I go pick up my car. At first glance I noticed it did not match at all, told the manager at Cooks, he said all they did was clear the rear bumper, which then I replied, "it's still paint." Now my bumper is 4 shades darker and also it shines green while the rest of my car has a blue metallic in it. Also has dirt in the paint and the trunk did not align at all, noise coming from the passenger side and burn marks in the paint!
Called GEICO, took the car back very next day (because they brought my car out at 6 pm when they closed, made me wait an hour for it)! After I took it back and left it there, the manager stated that they cannot fix it, which means they suck as auto collision center. Talked to my adjuster who works hand-in-hand with Cooks and she said that she seen the car and it shines. I told her she needs a new career if she cannot see the difference.

I was in contact yet again with the client directly and they claimed they had given TWO statements and were set up to give a third statement in a few short minutes. We were in contact yet again with the adjuster and she gave myself and my father nothing but problems. After much back and forth, with us and the adjuster, as well as the client with the adjuster, the adjuster called us to inform us that GEICO will take responsibility for 85% of the damages caused to my vehicle, due to the fact that I did not take evasive action, when it is also clearly stated on the police report that I was prevented from doing so by other people in the parking lot.
The adjuster told her client, and I quote, "Shut your mouth. I'm handling this." I don't know about anyone else, but I would not allow someone to talk to me that way, much less someone I am paying to represent me. Her client, my father, and myself are all very, VERY displeased, and that is an understatement, with the service we have received from this adjuster. I never knew that you were allowed to go AGAINST the police report clearly stating facts from a police officer as an insurance adjuster. All around very displeased with the service I have been dealing with. In dealing with the adjuster, my father and I have received nothing but attitude, resistance, and unprofessionalism in dealing with clients.

Had Geico for over 15 years but when we went aboard and returned, our premiums almost doubled. Never had an accident or changed to another company. They have no loyalty to customers at all. We had a claim for a simple no fault that costs $635.00 about 6 years ago. Our deductible is and always has been $500.00. This company is not what it states to be at all, military and veteran friendly. They didn't even want to see our driving record and insurance aboard. Just stuck it to us like a new customer. Needless to say they were dropped and replaced.

I had a small collision driving out from my parking space and hitting the other car on the road. It was my fault, the bumper went off. I took my car to the auto body shop and then I was waiting three weeks for the damage estimation. In addition, the estimator didn't contact with us, took the bumper and just literally disappeared! I was calling Nationwide Inspections (they were responsible for the estimation) every single day saying the same story and every single day they promised me to have the estimation next day. It took them three weeks to do something. Then I was told by Geico that I can try asking for car rental reimbursement even if I didn't have it in my insurance cause the waiting time was sooo long. And of course at the end Geico just screwed us up saying that it's not possible. I'm switching to different company, cause don't want to think what would happen if the accident was more serious.

Was told that they look at what has sold in my area in the last 30 days within 100 miles To get an offer. What happened to NADA value, for the RV and options?

Been with GEICO for 7 years. Had an accident in 2014, my fault. Filed a claim and everything was taken care of perfectly. Had an accident in May of this year, had a police report stating the other driver, insured by Esurance, was at fault. Claim went into arbitration, was strung along being told the chances of getting my deductible back looked good since there was a police report. 3 months later I get a letter stating that GEICO was closing the file on my claim since neither GEICO or ESURANCE failed to prove liability. Rates are great but I'll pay more to another company that does their job and looks out for their clients.

I know that everyone has a different experience with every company but I had a bad one with Geico today. I found a charge to my debit card from Geico that I had not been authorized. Representatives from Geico acknowledged the charge, but would not tell me whose account was using my card. I was told that it was my problem, to call my bank, and to file a police report because it wasn't their problem. As I tried to find out more about what I should do, the supervisor hung up on me. At this point I have called the bank, cancelled my debit card for fear of Geico trying to charge more to my account, and will be filing a police report with Geico as the guilty party.

My car went down and I cancelled my auto insurance. I was told to send them an email which I did. When after three days it wasn't returned to my debit card I called. "Your card wouldn't allow the return. It has been mailed to you. If you don't receive it in five to seven business days call back." So I called at day seven. I was told it hadn't been cashed and there was nothing they could do for 11 days. I called back on day 12, after talking to my debit card company and my post office to find out if that was the problem. Master Card said "if they can take it off they can put it back on." The post office told me the most it should have taken is 4-5 days. I called back and found out after 12 days it was sent to the wrong address. They cancelled the check while I was talking with them.
I was told the new check would be cut and sent the same day from a closer location, and if I haven't received it by the first of the following week call back and they would track the letter. "I promise it's a top priority". Tuesday came and still nothing and was told it wasn't processed til Friday or Saturday and that there was no way of tracking the letter and to call back again if it hasn't shown up... Well over a week later it still hasn't shown up. I am on a fixed income. In order to get my car fixed and insured I had to sacrifice many other things like cell phone and TV. For other companies, including them, the checks in the mail doesn't work. I will update on Monday after the mail runs to say my refund check has finally arrived or my latest telephone call to Geico. On the bright side, my new insurance which I got from a local agent, is 1/3rd the cost of what I got from Geico. Lesson learned? Stay local instead of going with the big corporations.

I recently had the misfortune of a minor accident after 13+ years of driving accident free. I was backing out of my driveway and made it halfway into the street when another driver across the street slammed her car back into mine. I am insured with Geico, she is insured with Allstate. Upon exiting our cars she admitted fault stating "I am so sorry I didn't look around each way and I didn't see you there." Unfortunately I was not in the mindset to record the conversation. She also stated "I don't see any damage on my car. We can exchange policies just in case."
I immediately called Allstate, which filed my claim within 20 minutes of the accident. Allstate called the other driver's mother (the primary policyholder) the next day, who was likely unaware of the incident. Then a retaliatory claim came my way through Geico. I provided recorded statements to both Allstate and Geico, and Geico did not do anything whatsoever. Allstate took a recorded statement, sent me to an insurance adjuster inspection, and I am still awaiting their response. Geico immediately told me after the recorded statement that there was nothing they can do for me. They said the other driver's statement, full of lies, was contradictory to mine and they could do nothing further. Seems like a shoddy investigation and fault determination all around. I will most certainly be switching my insurance carrier and filing a lawsuit against the liar driver.

I have been a GEICO for over 12 years (since I first got my drivers license), all of my vehicles have had full coverage on them over the years. I recently put in a claim because my vehicle was stolen and they said that while they reviewed my claim they would put me in a rental car. It took them less than a week to "review" my claim, where they stated that I would have to go after the party that stole my vehicle and that they would NOT pay my claim and I could no longer get covered for a rental vehicle.
I asked the adjuster why they couldn't just cover my rental for 3 weeks while I look for a vehicle, especially since I have been paying Geico for over 12 years. She said, "you can just cancel your policy if you're not satisfied", then she proceeded to transfer me to a separate department that told me that I couldn't cancel by phone, but I had to email, fax, or mail them in writing that I wanted to cancel. Not a single person tried to get me to keep my service with Geico. Then on top of that, I had asked for paperwork to be sent to me a week ago for my case and wanted to double check if it had been sent, and I found out that they had never sent it at all. Do not go with Geico, they don't take loyalty seriously and at the end of the day are just after money, we're all just a number to them.

I've always enjoyed Geico's ad campaigns and even had a policy with Geico for a few years. As a customer holding a policy, I never encountered bad service, and aside from annoying hold times on their phone lines, my experience with Geico was adequate. THAT was before I had to file a claim against Geico. In April of this year I was involved in a car accident that was not my fault. I was sitting at a red light (and had been for over a minute). It was rush hour and I was the last in a line of about ten cars waiting for the light to change. It was a beautiful afternoon and I had the convertible top down. I did not see or hear it coming, and literally did not know what had hit me.
Suddenly I was jammed into the steering wheel, ears ringing, head burning, the world was black for a moment, then fuzzy and lastly confusing and terrifying. I had been rear ended by a distracted driver in a Land Cruiser. She was texting. She never even hit her brakes. She was covered by Geico. I will spare you the details of my injuries, they are not the subject of this narrative anyway. What I want to impress upon you all is the horror that I encountered while trying to resolve my claim with this company.
Geico has done everything in their power to minimize my injuries. They have condescended my husband during one on one conversations. They have purposely left documents and figures out of their settlement offers. They have offered us a ridiculously low amount, only $1,000 (I had $16,000+ in medical bills). The offer came after 4 months of pain, suffering, and evasion from this horrendous agency. Each time we ask to speak with a supervisor, we are connected with an individual even less professional and more offensive than the one before him. Geico has intentionally neglected to give us guidance on how to proceed with settlement. They even once closed our case without notification in hopes that we would simply disappear. They have done everything in their power to avoid having to make reparations for the injuries that I received at the hands of their reckless client. And it has been a total nightmare.
I recently heard a saying, that those who work to keep you focused on your measly pile of crumbs only want you to forget who is running away with the whole cake. I can't think of a more fitting way to describe this company or this situation. Geico is a soulless corporate machine that does not value me as a human being. I feel totally insulted, violated, and offended by this entire ordeal. And I feel helpless. I honestly cannot believe how little Geico thinks of the people who are injured by those they insure. It is reflected in the attitude and words of every individual that I have encountered in their claims department. I'm ashamed that I was ever associated with this company and regret every penny I ever paid them for insurance coverage. I pray to God that the day that I finally settle on this claim will be the last I will ever have to deal with this godless agency. Please like, share, and spread the word.

I have been with Geico since 1997. Originally, the relationship was good. The past few years I still stayed with Geico through poor practices such as: $50 rate increases every 6 months; being redlined (I moved one ZIP code in the same city and the rate increased by 40% from 500 to 700 every six months); and I was hit by another driver, driving the wrong way, and while my car was stopped. Since we both had Geico, the agent simply assigned 50% negligence to both of us without any investigation. My appeal fell on deaf ears. Other than a speeding ticket in farm country 3 years ago, I am ticket and accident free.
Three months ago I moved one state over. The Geico agent assured me the coverage was exactly the same as before. I received a bill and promptly paid it. (My credit score is over 800. I do not miss bill payments.) Then, a month later, I get another bill for around $50. I called and received 18 pages of paperwork to complete, because the insurance was not exactly the same. It was very different in the liability portion. I returned it immediately by fax so there could be no delay. Then I received another bill for $20.89. I called customer service. I will say all of the reps I have dealt with have been pleasant.
We discussed the issue. I informed her that the bill was to be zeroed out or I would find another insurance company and terminate my relationship with Geico. She refused. I requested a supervisor. After we discussed the issue, I asked if she was willing to lose an 18 year customer over $21. It seems she is. She refused to make the adjustment. I am searching for a new auto insurance provider. I will then cancel my policy. I will not return to Geico.

Just like to say WTG Geico, I've been a client for over a decade and for the first time I actually had a claim. What did your claims adjusters do? Told me that the guy who was going to T-Bone me and ran me off the road was not responsible for the small amount of damage to my car because I was a good enough driver to not allow him to hit me. So even though his insurance had already claimed responsibility, your adjuster told them "no it's all good, we got this" and then charged me my deductible because it was a "2nd accident and completely my fault."
As if that wasn't enough, while moving my car to get repaired from the "2nd accident" the towing company damaged my rims and yet another adjuster tells me that it is a "3rd accident and you'll have to pay the deductible again to get them fixed." THEN I get a phone call that I may be liable for an accident on a car I haven't owned in 6 mos because it used to be on my policy (even though the accident was 3 days ago and nowhere on my policy). Let's not forget the first adjuster telling me that my medical was reimbursable then a month later after getting care being told that there is no way to prove this is from the supposed "2nd accident" so you're not going to cover it. Once this mess is dealt with, I WILL NO LONGER BE A GEICO client.

I was in a "fender Bender" on 6/15. For reasons I cannot understand the accidents was ruled my fault. The guy hit from behind. I disputed the police report with Fort Worth because it has statements I never stated or the other party for that fact. The old man who hit me didn't remember hitting me. He actually turned into a local restaurant, park and went to have breakfast. The officer had to go get him and bring him out. The other party said he hit a pole and not me. At that point I was upset and I immediately filed a claim with GEICO (my insurance). When the Police report came a few days later I saw what the officer put and pretty much lost it. He said... I moved over into his lane and caused the accident. Not sure where or why he got that idea because I was slowing down at a red light long after changing lanes and was hit from behind. After all that I filed a complaint on the officer since I had "proof in pudding" the cop was stupid!
He had started sending me text messages that started off saying "He didn't remember hitting you but said he thought he hit a pole." The next few message were not pertaining to the accident. They were personal and inappropriate. I took this as retaliation. When I shot him down he changed the report. Well I showed my proof (text messages) and an investigation was started. I was told a few days later that they couldn't prove the report was wrong and had to stay as is but the officer has been reprimanded. Total BS! During the investigation internal affairs spoke with the other party and they did find out that he recently had a stroke and it affects his memory, motor skills and time reaction! REALLY!!! And I am at fault!!! This guy needs a medical suspension on his Driver’s License and he needs to stay off the road.
He corroborated the police report, not because that's what happened but it is what he was told to say by his insurance company or what he read. I think he just went with it. So GEICO fixes his car, almost $3000.00 damage and rental car fees. They call me to let me know. I thank them for "fighting for me" Stand up, bang up job guys! (They knew I disputed) I ask them... When are y’all going to fix my bumper? They replied "When you take it to a shop." They gave me a few places and told me that I would need to leave my car for 5-10 days in the shop but I don't have rental car coverage. I'm a single mom. Rental car, no car for up to 10 days, $500.00 deductible. NOT HAPPENING QUICKLY. I have to save and prepare for that expense. I explained to claims adjuster that I would have to figure something out. I pay $181.00 per month (I had a 2 tickets years ago, no accidents, and I am 29) so that's high.
Thought I would be covered for a rental car at that price. Any who I took my car to Service King and they popped my bumper in $250.00 total. I explained the situation and he said GEICO is the worst. Change ASAP! But he would help me out. I was also hurting for a few days after the accident but I went to the doctor and paid for that out of pocket too. Today a new claims adjuster called to talk to me and let me know they settled all claims. I laughed and said "Oh did you because I pay damn near 200.00 a month but yet I had to pay out pocket for everything because GEICO made it impossible for me to afford all the deductibles, doctor fees, rental car fees, etc."
My bumper still has damage (paint only), but I can live with that and I couldn't tell my doctor’s office I was in an accident because I would have had to pay the full amount to see the doctor not just my insurance co pay. I am not sure how GEICO works but I am done! They paid for nothing on my end yet I am still paying $181.00 per month, drafted out of my account! They don't hesitate to take my money. Makes it impossible to afford repairs and won't fight for you! Never again! THANKS FOR NOTHING!

I was in a car accident about 3 years ago in which a Geico owned car ran a red light and hit my Toyota 4-runner, mainly in the front end. Geico paid for the damages ($11,000+) to my car and said that I had a "lifetime warranty" on the repairs. Within 6 months the front door panels had started to come loose. I took the car to the Toyota dealer and was told that the repair was done sub-par and the whole panels would need to be replaced. I have attempted to contact Geico service reps multiple times, never getting someone on the phone, always leaving messages, and never getting a response. I still have the loose door panels. Over a year ago I started noticing that the paint on the front hood of the car, as well as along the side, where the Geico repair company had to re-paint is peeling off and the underlying car metal is rusting. Apparently they did an inferior job of painting as well. I am still unable to get a response from anyone.
At this point the value of my car has dropped immensely. And my anger at this horrible company has increased immensely. One time I contacted the Geico main number and got a person located in my very same town. I asked him how I could contact someone. He gave me the phone number for the woman in charge of my service agreement, even told me where she was located in town. I suggested that I could go down and see her in person. He said she was in a back office and I would not be allowed in to see her and she would definitely not come out to see me. What can I do??? I love this car, but it looks so BAD now. All because someone (possibly a Geico employee) ran a red light.
As if all the problems with my car disrepair are not enough, when I decided to change to a different insurance company the new company ran some sort of internet search on my driving history and revealed to me that Geico had listed the accident as being MY fault!!! Never told me!! But I imagine they raised my rates. And when I would call to inquire about why my rates were going up this was never mentioned. Thanks to the person at the new company, I was able to contact Geico and get them to correct the internet record. But not without a fight.

I'm an IT professional with an income of over 135k annually. However, I did not arrive at this career using the traditional route of a 4-year education; only two years. I had two cars insured with GEICO for nearly 7 years (and not asked about education level). I asked for a quote on my home just this month. I was asked my level of education to obtain a better discount. I immediately became angry by the unfairness of this for myself and all others who do not obtain the best rates based on a stereotype that a 4-year education makes for a better customer.
How many respectable, hardworking people, who could not afford a college education, are being penalized with higher rates from GEICO? Don't they have enough struggles w/o being profiled as a "less than adequate" customer based on perceived intelligence and reliability? I was so angry I cancelled the two cars with GEICO and switched to State Farm within the same hour. State Farm did NOT ask me about my education level. The charming GEICO has leadership behind him who should be ashamed of this level of discrimination. Does Warren Buffett, as the owner of GEICO, support these practices? I understood that integrity was of the utmost importance to Warren and preached to his Berkshire-Hathaway companies. Discrimination is not integrity in my book.

Looking to insure my car while I am teaching abroad. Got a quote for the state minimums for the car insurance online and it looked good. To confirm, explained my situation clearly with GEICO in email to verify, saying, "I will be an expat teaching abroad in China, but I need to leave my car here at my parents' house in Massachusetts, parked in their driveway," stating" I'd be come for about 2-3 months/year." GEICO responded saying, "While you are away, you will be able to keep your vehicle in a storage plan. The storage plan comes at a lower cost than your traditional auto policy as it only carries comprehensive and collision coverage. Once you are a GEICO policyholder, you will be able to start your storage plan by contacting a GEICO Customer Service Agent at 1-800-841-7475."
Called GEICO to get the plan, re-explained the same thing, and they told me my situation meant I did not have custody of the vehicle and they would not offer me insurance. I asked them what their standard was for # months at the permanent residence per year to meet the "custody" qualification, as I will be in the US for probably 4 months out of the year. The representative could give me no straight answer but just kept repeating "you do not have custody of the vehicle."
When I asked him why the representative who emailed me told me I was eligible for the policy, all he would say is "You typically get a quote online, not through email." I responded that I did both and said "Okay, well you do not meet our requirements to have custody of the vehicle and need to look elsewhere," not answering my questions. He then quickly got me off the phone without allowing me any recourse or explanation of their specific policies or why the GEICO representatives were giving me different information.

My guess is they deny everyone and hope they don't get an attorney. I'm sure their insured are paying this high lost of litigation. TERRIBLE COMPANY. So glad I've always chosen AAA.

My daughter is a customer of Geico auto insurance. Recently she was involved in an auto accident which at the time of the accident was determine not to her fault. She was traveling through a green light and another car turned left into the side of her car. When it was time for statements the opposite party lied and said she ran a red light. Geico claimed it to be a 50/50 at fault claim. Both parties are Geico customers. The other party has liability and collision and my daughter having only liability. Geico simply took the other parties word. This results in Geico only having to fix one car. They did not do any investigation of the damage, no site investigation, nothing. My daughter now has a totaled car without any assistance from Geico. If the other party had not been a Geico customer would they have performed and proper investigation.
Their policy states clearly on their website what they do in the case there is a conflict in statements. They did nothing. If they would have taken the time to look at my daughter's car they have seen it was clear he ran into the side of her car. I'm not an expert but I am fairly certain it's impossible to run into another car with the side of yours. Very disappointed that Geico did the very least possible amount they could do. We are just pleased that she was safe and her baby yet to be is ok as well. I wonder if she had any medical concerns and we pray that there won't be down the line, that Geico may have taken a more responsible approach to an investigation into matter. Shame on you Geico. And you wonder why people are displeased when insurance companies are involved. I am covered by Allstate and I'm confident they would have handled this in a professional manner. This is why the premier providers are premier.

My vehicle was involved in an accident on 7/14/15. The driver who was driving my vehicle was Sandra **. Sandra was driving my vehicle and the driver of the other vehicle insured by Geico was behind my vehicle. When my vehicle went to make a right turn the driver of the Geico vehicle failed to slow down and swerved to miss my vehicle causing her to hit the side of my vehicle and a pole. This ticket issued to the Geico driver clearly states the exact accident that happen at the time. Geico is discrimination because the driver who was driving my car is Hispanic and could not speak English. I have been informed by Geico that it was at both cars' fault and they would not fix my vehicle. I am very upset at the discrimination of this company and that they have took side with their driver. I have attorney working on the case due to the driver at Geico being at fault and Geico not wanting to repair my vehicle.
Geico claims because my driver did not see the Geico driver because she was behind my vehicle that both cars are at fault. As we all know we don't have control of what the car behind one does. This is very upsetting that I am having to go through this. After all the evidence it was the Geico driver was at fault. The lady working my case was very rude. I called her to ask for a recorded statement that the person driving my vehicle had made and she said she needed to talk to the driver and I give the phone her and she asked for someone who spoke Spanish so the Geico claim assistant Lelonie told Sandra to give the phone back and she stated that she would sent the info out in the mail. The next day she called Sandra wanted to ask her again if she wanted the statements sent out. I feel a large amount of discrimination on behalf of Geico.

We all have to have car insurance but no one ever wants to use it. I had the misfortune of having to deal with the headache that's usually involved in being in an accident not once but twice this year. And I have to say the people at Geico have been awesome. They were so kind and understanding. They do everything they can to give you peace of mind in what can be a frustrating ordeal. It doesn't matter how many times I call and how many different representatives I spoke to, the level of professionalism and service they provide has been perfect. Kudos to the management team there for keeping their people happy... it shows from the customer's perspective and after my experience I have been acting like a bit of a spokesperson for the company by telling my friends and coworkers how satisfied I have been.

My windshield was damaged on the Freeway by a large brick/ boulder on the Interstate. I was unable to catch the truck to get the necessary information. I called Geico to file a claim and was told that it would have to be at my expense because my deductible is $500.00. They can definitely take your money every month, but paying a claim to the customer without the customer being inconvenienced is beginning to be a rarity.

My wife was stopped at a stop sign, their client was on the phone and hit her from behind, but GEICO own people said 511.14 to fix and GEICO wants to pay 60% when it's their clients fault. What the hell is GEICO trying to pull. So for all you drivers that want try to screw other drivers, when it's their fault... One answer (GET GEICO) hear and so far found they are the BEST.

The insurance adjuster was not professional, present during initial file for damages, nor did he inspect my car when it was supposed to have been completed. The repair shop nor GEICO cared. I wrote to the main office and still have received no reply. GEICO is the worst in the insurance business!

I called the automated line to change my billing info because I had closed my old banking account. Geico sent payment request to my old bank anyway then charged me the returned check fee. Then told me if they refunded the fee that would be a rebate and rebates are illegal (per very rude sup Katie). I then looked up the word rebate only to find out that rebates are not illegal.

I received a renewal for my auto policy which I have had for ten years with Geico. In Feb 2015 it was renewed for $356.30 for six months. My renewal for Aug 2015 is for $536.70 for six months. I called Geico to ask about about this and was told that had they had to pay out a lot of claims. My part of that was a $71.00 road side service. It is still the same car that I am insuring with the same usage and I have a clean record. I would like to get a 50% raise at work also. I am mad!

My son was entering the apartment parking lot when a vehicle rammed him head-on. The vehicle had failed to stop at a stop sign. They exchanged insurance information. I received a notification from GEICO that it was not their client's fault. Their client admitted fault and said he was on his father's policy. I have called, left emails and sent letters. Geico will not reply. The damage to my vehicle is in the $2000 range. I am very very upset. Not all Insurance companies are crooked like this.

I have been insured with GEICO auto insurance for 17 years now. I switched because at the time the rates were lower than my previous company. My rates with GEICO have gone up a bit over the years - but really not badly considering it's been 17 years. I did want to shop around, however, now that my daughter is nearing driving age. Insuring a teen is pricey and as a single mom on a budget I needed to make sure I was getting the best available rates.
An insurance agent I'm acquainted with from another company talked to me in great detail about several discounts I can get and options I have - discounts that will hold for the next 10 to 20 years. The upshot was that I could either reduce my payment or get better coverage for what I am now paying (I chose the latter), and when my daughter starts to drive the payments will of course increase but not by nearly as much as I feared or that I've heard they would increase from other friends. Other insurance companies must have been triggered about my search on the internet because almost immediately I heard from other actual human beings from about a half dozen other insurance companies, a couple of which I contacted to make sure I was getting the best deal I could.
Unfortunately, I never spoke with GEICO. I tried - their website led me to contact information for an agent in my area - but an email and a phone call netted no response. I realize you can change your coverage online but my price would increase a great deal. Apparently no one wanted to hear "But, gosh, other companies will insure me for a lot less - can we talk about some discounts I might be able to get as a loyal 17-year customer?" The upshot is that I have now, very happily, switched to Liberty Mutual. My policy with GEICO will be cancelled in another couple of weeks and they know that. Not one "We're sorry to see you go - what could we have done better" email, call, etc.
I leave with the opinion that they are not a bad company - thought I only had to use them once for a claim, they were very good about it but very impersonal compared to other companies and that is why I am leaving. Maybe they feel it's not cost-effective to take the time to personally reach out but they just lost a customer by not reaching out to me, so I would suggest they re-think that.

Was looking for car insurance; LOVED GEICO 10 YEARS AGO!! Now...not only did the insurance agent flat out lie about who does and doesn't need to be placed on my policy (obviously upselling) but apparently GEICO has now decided that they are only going to insure NO-RISK DRIVERS, as if anyone knows what that means. As soon as the agent labeled me a DRIVER AT RISK, HE HUNG UP ON ME! If I wasn't offended yet, I was by that point. I have had one ticket my entire life over 5 years ago and never been in an accident or needed to file a claim. MODEL CITIZEN HERE. They told me to "call again in 6 months" when I was less of a "risk."
I called Progressive, and guess what? Got a bang-up deal on 2 vehicles and even added renter's insurance at $9 a month! Who could pass that up, right? If you are looking for an insurance company that will stand by your side during the bad and good times, PROGRESSIVE is your place! Also, notice that GEICO closed their Google+ page, because people were starting to leave 1 star reviews; just an observation. Looks like an employee typed in ONE 5 star review, the same date the Google+ page was shut down. It is now listed as "permanently out of business" when it should be listed as "we just don't want you to know that people hate our company and why by reading our awful reviews."
For those of you that are thrilled with the company, good for you. I was there once myself. But apparently a ticket 5 years ago makes me a "risk" and they refuse to insure me; btw, the ticket was for going 5 miles over the speed limit. FIVE MILES! I would have fought it, but I had just moved to a different state, so I just sent them the payment. At this point, I'm glad I got the ticket; we don't live in a perfect world, and companies that act like your friend (LIKE PROGRESSIVE) beats companies that act like you're just a dollar sign.

Geico is good at giving low estimates. Then when you sign up and pay they tell you there is an incident on your record... an incident that I already claimed!!! Then they tried to tell me an incident 3 years ago on my daughter who lived in another state was added to my record. The accident was in her name and with her vehicle and it was a no fault yet they once again raised my rate. I dumped them as they thought I would stay with them now that they had me past my renewal date. BUYER BEWARE. Don't be fooled by low estimates. I would not use Geico!!!

My son had this ** insurance company and was killed by a drunk driver. Called this company and requested a refund of the premium he had paid in advance. Rep stated that they required the customer to request the refund. At the time, my son was in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, unable to communicate verbally as he was intubated and on a ventilator so he could breathe. Rep was advised of this and nonchalantly replied that at his earliest convenience, my son would have to request the refund. Ultimately, when my son passed away we again contacted this ** company and requested a refund due to my son's passing and was told that they cannot issue a refund without his consent. They did not ask for a death certificate, nor did they give their condolences or ask what they could do. They simply said "nope, nothing we can/will do..." my loss… This company and their reptilian counterpart can, simply, jump off a high cliff.

Other party hit my car in a parking lot and left a note so I could contact him. Claim went to GEICO. GEICO directed me to their claims facility (body shop). I found out they wanted to do "spot repairs" on my brand new (<1000 mi) car. They also did not want to pay for the rental of a car similar to mine, telling me that it was my expense if I wanted to do so. I learned I could take my car anywhere I wanted to.
When I told the GEICO guy I was going to take the car elsewhere, he said GEICO may not pay if the bill was more than their estimate. GEICO owned the body shop and the rental car office was in the GEICO office. GEICO also said they would not pay for the rental car while at another shop. They acted like they had the authority to dictate how this third party claim would be handled and what should be paid according to their perspective.
WELL...I learned what they did is called "steering". Internet is full of info regarding this unethical practice employed by an insurance company to get a claimant to take their car to a facility where GEICO can control costs for their best interests. I was concerned about "my" best interests. Every contact with GEICO resulted in a promise of action or a return call that never happened. GEICO has refused to pay our repair bill, and offered what they estimated in their shop. A difference of $900. I am forced to file suit in Small Claims Court against the policyholder to recover the full amount of the loss.

I got into my first accident about 1 yr ago. I'm 44 & with Geico for over 10 yrs. They handled the claim quickly but when I tried to file a claim for hail damage they asked me to see an adjuster. I did and he said there was no damage. I let them know I had a quote for a paint job and wanted to make sure all was ok... I got it painted but Geico said I tried to file an erroneous claim and canceled collision coverage for my whole family. And now they reduced our liability coverage and sent us all to some other sister company when the renewal comes up in September. I paid my bill in full within the first 3 months and full coverage for 3 cars isn't cheap. This company has no loyalty to their customers. They are great you need or use them. They paid me less than 3000 for my car in over 10 years while I paid full coverage premiums the whole time with no accidents and only 1 ticket. BAD BAD BAD company!!!!!
