MAY

2008

As a 30 year old female, I've been insured with GEICO in one way or another for almost 15 years. My parents have all of their vehicles insured with GEICO; and, as a result, when I began driving, I was added to the GEICO policy. My good grades in high school earned my parents a discount on their insurance. GEICO has been there for my family through all of the car tragedies we've experienced. In 1999, my dad was hit by another motorist and his car was totalled. In less than 2 days he had a rental car and in less than 2 weeks had received his check and was driving a new car. When my car was hit by a motorist in 2004 and totalled, I also recieved a rental in less than 2 days. And although it was the middle of the Christmas holidays, I had recieved my settlement and was driving a new car by the first week of the new year (2005). Then (I know if I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all), the car I'd purchased in 2005 was stolen in mid-April of 2007. Once again, GEICO worked quickly and diligently to reserve a rental car for me (at no charge--as part of my coverge and because my car had been stolen) and by the 1st week of May I had used the settlement to make the downpayment on my current vehicle. Throughout all of the mishaps, tickets, and other car tragedies, my insurance rate has always been more than reasonable, which is always great news for a single mother like myself, who's living on a budget. The only downside is that the local offices (at least the one in Sumter) do not take cash payments although they do take payments by credit card or check (this is a problem for me since I don't have either type of account). So as for this car and any other car I'll own in the future, it will be insured by GEICO.
