Strength:
None
Weakness:
Expensive. Don't beleive their commercials. They won't safe you 15%. I have no points but yet their identical policy was $800 more per year than Liberty Mutual. My advice is to call around. When I called to cancelled the policy the rep was the extremely rude. I will never deal or recommend them to anyone. If you enjoy wasting your money. Or, being talked down to; go with Geico. Don't beleive the hype, they WILL NOT save you 15%. Similar Products Used: Liberty Mutual is far superior. |

Strength:
Nothing.
Weakness:
Service was horrible, I couldn't get a copy of the policy until the 5th month. Had problems with them obtaining something as simple as a driving record. Noone can answer a question on their own without redirecting the call. 24hr customer service is only good for signing you up, I had a problem and wasn't able to get it fixed until someone on the day shift came in. They still couldn't fiqure it out. I would never recommend this company! Price wasn't any less then what I have gotten elsewhere for more coverge. I'm with Erie now and have gotten the best rate and service I've ever had (3years now). Similar Products Used: Nationwide |

Strength:
convenience of 24 hour a day contact with customer service, and billing options. Paying bill on line.
Weakness:
1. When I originally switched to GEICO a year ago, I had problems with them getting the correct information to the state DMV office. As a consequence, I received nasty notices from DMV saying I had to turn my tags in due to failure to maintain insurance. Oonly about 5% cheaper compared to previous insurance carrier. I would only recommend to someone who works the hours that I do and may need to talk with a live person during any 24 hour period. |

Strength:
Their goofy commercials.
Weakness:
Their goofy commercials. I'm starting to hate them and change the channel at the first site of them. Don't believe them, they won't save you 15%. I was with them for approx. 6 months when I added a new vechical to the policy. What a hassle, had to call them, then fax a form with signatures. The whole process took about an hour before I could drive the car off the lot. I canceled the policy the next day and saved approx. $500 total on annual premiums. To topit off my current company Libert Mutual stated that if you have a policy with them and purchase a new car it is automatically added to your policy and no approval needs to be made. Call around and don't believe the marketing. To insure a Jetta and Jeep was $1425 with Geico. Paying $910 with Liberty Mutual. Be prepared to talk to a different rep each time you call them. I have contact with the same rep at libert mutual everytime I call. Similar Products Used: Liberty Mutual |

Strength:
None!
Weakness:
They are crooks. They are a**holes, that is all they are! My car was totalled in December 2000. I had just spent the entire summer doing an engine overhaul. The engine and transmission had only 1900 miles. I told them to tow it to my father-in-law's house. Instead, they towed it to a pay storage facility and said that the charges would be covered by them, so I agreed. I informed them them that I was going to buy the car back as part of the settlement. They said I could buy it for $350. I went there a few days later to get my Kenwood CD player out of the car while I was waiting for an offer price, just to find that they had already robbed the CD player. They won't pay for it.

Strength:
No strengths at all. They suck as a company.
Weakness:
Poor customer service. High rates. Dishonest sales tactics (you wont save money with Geico. Not even up to the 15% they advertise). Dishonest billing. I can say that Geico really does suck!!! After signing up with Geico for the second time I discovered how dishonest Geico really is. When I signed up for my policy they tried to tell me that I couldn't get a better rate for insurance. At the time they seemed the lowest but that was a load of crap. For about $108 a month with Geico I could only get the State Required minimum. For $112 a month I could get comprehensive. I discovered that for much less for about $70-72 a month I could get full coverage on my car through State Farm. Basically Geico lied to me as I was able to get better coverage. Now I am with State Farm and pretty happy that I got my insurance through them. I have sinced asked for my downpayment back. That too is higher with Geico than with State Farm. With Geico it is a $152 down payment for the state required minimum. With State Farm I only had to pay $76. Similar Products Used: State Farm so far seems much better in price. |
