Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anybody here insure with GEICO?

It's all a racket in my thinking, but a necessary evil.

Wife has Geico, no issues so far but no claims either, when she relocated once AAA tried to charge her way over what she had been paying so she made the switch to Geico.

I use an independent broker who had me switch from Progressive after a number of years with them, to Safeco. Had a deer run into the side of my truck, ran right off a road cut into the front fender. Didn't have one issue collecting with them, take it to the repair place, get it done, here's your check, thank you very much.

Good luck whoever you end up with. Hope you never have to use them.

Years ago I called them to check their rates. After all they said 15 minutes could save 15%. They quoted about 140% of what I was paying. So I never checked again.

Here in Idaho we saved $2000 a year on our 3 vehicles over previous premiums with Allstate.
It's been 3 years since we switched, $6000 saved with Geico!

Sounds crazy but it's the honest truth.

My wife has been with GEICO for about 40 years. We have been married 24 years now, and I switched to them from State Farm when tied the knot.
No problems, and a lot of good things to say about price, service and attitude.

It's funny how many consider PRICE the most important factor.

Times have changed. 50 years ago they wouldn't insure enlisted men. When I graduated college they offered to cover me. I told them they didn't want me then, I don't want them now.

When I was 24, with completely clean driving/accident records, I went to Farm Bureau. They were well recommended at the time. They turned me down. They wouldn't take any single person under 25, no matter what their record. I told them that it was their one chance for a good driver because if I left, I'd never be back. They would have made a lot of money off of me.

30 years with Geico, no problems. They have a good 100K extended warranty on new vehicles as well.

I will second the service and attitude. That's getting hard to come by.

All I know is they spend a heck of a lot on commercials. Someone's paying for it.

They saved me around half of what I was paying to Allstate, and after several claims with deer strikes, excellent service...no complaints here.

I think people need to shop for insurance every 2 years to know how they are doing. They all start low and go up from there. Just my HO

This has been my long term experience and that includes some small claims. I once had an ACURA that got hit three times while it was parked in three different places. No problem.

^^^ This!
The few bucks you save with some company's will come back to bite you when you need to submit a claim.
As a repair shop owner I will not even deal with Allstate or Auto Owners insurance.
If you want a check cut fast without any hassles use Geico or Progressive. I can have a check cut within 24 hours after submitting my estimate. Hidden damage that wasn't found during the estimate, no problem, I send them a photo from my phone and they have a check in my hands the next day.
I have Geico.

I deal with lots of different insurance companies on a daily basis and know who pays claims in good faith and who does not. Although GEICO generally pays what they owe, their claims force has not kept up with their number of policies. Too much advertising and not enough claims hiring. Their service is among the worst in the business currently.

Price is not everything. You usually do get what you pay for, especially with auto insurance. Anyone who wants the skinny on which companies to go with just shoot me a pm.

I agree with Sam.

Car and truck coverage with Geico, 11 years, so far, so good.

AMICA is the one I settled on after looking at all of them. Great prices but more importantly - great service! Had someone back into a rental carI was driving and they took care of everything and never raised my rates..
