Every time I bother to take the time to compare quotes, my insurance with State Farm is so much better a deal, plus, the have multi-line discount that saves a good deal. To get multi-line, I had to sign up for a hospitalization policy that cost nearly exactly what I was saving, so, I have hospitalization for free - no additional charge. They always are quick to pay - I've had accidents that were my fault, and accidents that were others' faults....

That gecko probably ranks up close to Santa Claus as far as recognition. I give credit where credit is due. Stroke of genius - that gecko. — I went with USAA for many years for car insurance and was always happy with them, but I thought maybe I could save a buck or two. Geico sounds like a great low cost alternative. — I called. No problems other than they could not cover my Harley. Bummer. They farmed that out to Progressive I think. Now I see on commercials that they cover motorcycles. I guess they listened when they called and asked why I switched and I said I wanted someone to cover my bike too. I smile when I see that commercial and wonder how much my input impacted. OK. Probably not much. Still interesting that they added bikes. The bike was one of my concerns, but I made the switch when my kid turned 15 and was going on my policy. The quote on a 16 year old male looked high. State Farm had...

I had to call a supervisor to get the situation resolved. — About a month after the accident I received a nasty letter from the adjustor(the total rag) including pictures of my vehicle and basically accused me of fraud!!!! — I called a supervisor again, and I don't know how they handled the situation but I told him if she contacted me again, I would sue them for harassment and had to remind them numerous times, that they were also supposed to be MY insurance company and should start behaving that way. — Needless to say, I won't go with them any more. —...

I have considered the teasers from the other internet insurance companies, but don't want to trade the personal relationship with our agent. When I have a question or need new insurance he is there day or night to help out. They have always been quick to settle a claim and get the ball rolling. I have found they are the best bang for the buck in our area in car and home insurance...

In my case, what I am paying for a year policy is cheaper than what I was paying for a six-month policy at another carrier. Here’s the kicker…I get the exact same coverage. I found their customer service to outstanding,  very helpful and courteous. The products and services they carry are superb. Recommendation is to call and see if they can help lower your...

Money was tight, and I didn't know how I was going to be able to pay for the cost of their car insurance. Enter Geico (ta-da).

I have been with them for about 3 years and have always gotten real answers for any question I throw at them. They are prompt and down to earth type people who seem to care about their customers. You can call them anytime or go online and find what you need on their website. Also they have very affordable rates and different rates to choose from to meet your needs.

I don't like to use charge cards, but I used this one for gas and groceries and then paid it off all the time. I earned close to 300.00  to use at Disney after just using this card for one year. It was so nice to be able to get the reward card and use it for souvenirs. Didn't have to save up money for souvenirs. You also get the special character photo taken. Can't ask for better rewards than...

With erie I paid about 3000 a year, I pay 1600 a year currently. Now, it's definitely not as personal, but for a college student, it works for me. I've had to file a claim once, and it was strange not having a agent locally, but you get what you pay for. —...

Their website is very informative because they list all their information as well as each stock that is available and the corresponding information that goes with each stock.

They did any way and my bank returned the checks as stopped payment through no fault of my own or there's. Geico then decided that I was refusing to make my payments and that I could no longer make my payments on-line. I explain the situation several times but they did not seem to care they told me if I did not like to cancel my insurance. I did 2 days later and it's been three years and they are still trying to get me to switch back. I don't think... Tue, 13 May 2008 20:34:42 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Geico-review-ffc85 sngoody
