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

We have our home and auto with AutoOwners and we are making a change. I work for a BH owned company so I'm taking a look at Geico. Anyone here have any good/bad experiences? And yes, I am aware of Buffets politics, as I said, I work for the guy.

Had em for 8 years until one day shopping around, I found I could get better coverage for half the price with allstate. Shop and compare is all you can do.

I've never had Geicko but I know many that have and they have NOTHING good to say about them. We've had PEMCO for 20 years and the once or twice we needed them we had zero issues. Fast, prompt and fair.

I called PEMCO to add another vehicle to our policy a couple months back and was flabbergasted that the phone was answered by a real person. The guy was friendly, white and English was his first language. He transferred me to the necessary department and that call too was answered by a real, live white guy. It took me about 2 minutes to add the vehicle and finish the phone call. After hanging up I told my wife that I couldn't believe how simple doing a simple thing was, for once.

Thanks, I will look into both of those.

I've had Geico for 20 years for auto. Never had made a claim, but I've sure sent them a good deal of money over the years.

I've got Geico and never had a problem. Car insurance only.

I took my old policy to Geico, Progressive, State Farm and Allstate and had them give me a quote. Each got to see the same declaration page from my old policy and each gave me a quote for the exact same coverage.

Geico was just under $700/6 mths
Progressive was $1,100+/6 mths
Allstate and State Farm were $1300+/6 mths

Shop around.

I would be cautious. GEICO is known in the industry for offering low liability limits and high deductibles to make them seem more competitive.

Gieco all the way been with them since I was a lowly e4, 17yrs ago easy.

They were the company i had when i started driving cars.
Back then it was called Government Employees Insurance Company.

Now days i just shop around for the best price after i check about other folks problems.

Hell i even got full coverage on my 63 Chevy PU.

Body shops in our area despise them, along with State Farm. They push really hard to use knock-off parts to repair cars, and fight every step of the way to save money on the repairs.

Not insured by them, but I do like their commercials.

Yep in both cases, they tried that bul...t on me with a new car less than 3 mos old, wanted me to agree to used parts....I told them it had no used parts on it when I bought it new.....argued with them for a month on this matter till my lawyer buddy gave them a call with a lawsuit getting ready to be filed they paid up real quick then with genuine parts and no argument on the cost to repair.

Allstate beats them easily in my area.

Whatever you do, do NOT use Hartford......

Had them for a short bit. nothing to say really good or bad. Been with USAA since 99 and have had good experiences with them.

I had them for a long time and had to make one claim which they handled perfectly. I switched to progressive about a year and half ago because they gave me better rates. I've found you need to shop around for insurance, especially homeowners, every so many years to get the best deal. Loyalty is punished.

If you qualify, go with USAA.

Allstate gave me a combo auto/home deal , couldn't get the same deal with others.

P.

That's what I hear. They have an excellent reputation and the few guys I know that have USAA swear by them.

Have them for autos. Had a total loss claim (rollover) and they paid us very well. We made money on that truck. I paid around 13k and they gave us around 18k. It was a Toyota though. For pricing, they searched in a 200 mile radius and used the dealers asking prices. I balked at the first offer and they immediately raised it a few more hundred. I think there are cheaper options though.
