GEICO is an acronym for Government Employees Insurance Company. GEICO is an auto insurance company.
GEICO was founded by Leo Goodwin, Sr. and his wife Lillian to provide auto insurance directly to government employees. He had worked for USAA, an insurer to military personnel; he decided to start his own business after he reached the highest position a civilian could hold in the military-dominated hierarchy.
Despite the word “government” in its name, GEICO is and has always been a private corporation. Goodwin’s original aim to sell to government employees reflected his belief that they were less risky as insurance customers than the general public.
The company went public in 1948.
GEICO began selling insurance policies to the general public in 1974 under the leadership of David Lloyd Kreeger.
The next year it was clear that the company had grown too quickly when it reported a $126 million loss. The company recovered by issuing a stock offering to raise money.
In 1996 GEICO was bought by Berkshire Hathaway.
Today GEICO has 12 million customers, 37,000 employees, and had $16.7 billion in revenue in 2012.
I have been trying to talk to a claim adjuster for a month and a half. I spoke with one claim adjuster in the very beginning of my claim when Geico impounded my vehicle. I need an extension on my rental car. I called 100 times! I’ve had Geico customer service representatives email and call my claim adjuster as well! Enterprise rental car company has emailed my claim adjuster 15 times and has called several times as well! No one has gotten back in contact with or them. They only approved 4 days and I have coverage that covers $900 worth. This is extremely unprofessional! I am beyond upset with this insurance company that I have paid on time for the last 6 months of coverage! I need to talk to someone in the corporate office as soon as possible!
On March 30th my bank sent you an on line check for $394.00 to pay for my insurance through American Modern, your antique insurer. You have not forwarded the check as of May 8th and I am out the money. I filed a claim with your company through your claims dept. on May 4th with no response. I sent proof of payment with my complaint supplied by Wells Fargo. I have been tracking this claim for two months with no response. Please tell The CEO’s Nicely, Campbell and Roberts they can expect calls from me starting on Monday May 11th
Geico’s commercials are the greatest, especially the ones with the adorable Gecko. He makes me smile. Keeping them going. Thank you.
Geico case number 0342184070101113 Request sent to the Geico adjuster. I’ve been trying for a week to contact her to no avail.
Good day Mindy.
On 02-04-2020 at approximately 9:50 am, I was rear-ended by a Geico insured driver causing the airbag to deploy and totaled my car. The policy owner information is Marcela Pelayo Policy number 4122587589. Geico was very attentive as long as they needed information from me. Now that they have all of the information, I cannot get anyone from there to contact me concerning this claim. There are two items I would like addressed:
1) What kind of transportation is Geico providing until this claim is settled
2) When shall I expect to meet with someone to discuss the amount of the settlement
I am having to call Geico for extensions on the rental and they have been able to extend the contract for only a few days at a time. I am asking you to extend my rental agreement until this case is settled and we have money towards another car. I have been very patient and I even took a downgraded rental just to help Geico save money (my car was the luxury car of my dreams). Your client has already cost us more than $10k and to have to rent a car in addition to what this has already cost us is unacceptable. I would like to hear back from you today February 18th, 2020.
I have been inordinately agreeable and helpful during this whole process and I only ask that Gieco be fair and reasonable in return.

First the agent who set up the roadside assistance sent the tow truck to the wrong car. Then I spent hours with tow drivers calling me as they try to break into a strangers car. I’m promised it’s going to be stored at the lot in Redmond – they tried to dump it at my house in Seattle. Finally they took it to a lot in a crap neighborhood of Seattle where I was told I couldn’t get to it. Then, the adjuster Goes and takes shi**y photos, runs me around about how it’s a waste to take it to the shop and we should just total it. I said no, take it to the shop. They did whatever, she never got it towed and a week later it ends up in the right place. I especially loved her insistence I pick a body shop in ten minutes and then never actually towing it. Ok, so they have my car. I don’t hear anything for about a week. The adjuster is on vacation and she didn’t tell me. Especially when she insisted I had to pick a certain auto body shop so she could remain my adjuster!!! Ok, I get a random message from Dina or whoever, my car is totaled. Enterprise calls, they’ve canceled my rental cause Geico said. Original adjuster promised me ten days from the day I signed a release and gave over my title. None of this has happened. I call Geico and talk to some manager who fixes. Today I get check and it’s less than he said but no one can explain it. Also EVERYTHING IN MY CAR was STOLEN. F**k you Geico. You couldn’t even keep my belongings safe. All for using Geico. I lost money using Geico.
please email address for the following:
GEICO GENERAL INSURANCE CO
GEICO SECURE INSURANCE CO
That is not an email address.
Government Employee Insurance Company the title speaks volumes as to the competency of this company and it’s ownership by Berkshire Hathaway(Yes That Warren Buffett). I have been a dual policy holder for more than 15 years and had my very first interaction with their claims dept. having the unfortunate occurrence of introduction to a fellow Geico policy holder. After the police came and filed the accident report and preliminary police was started by the officer and the other driver sighted. I submitted the information to Geico as required by law and filed no claim as the damage to my vehicle was less than my deductible and I did not want to have my rates slammed (live in Florida) and again damage was minor ($113.95 to repair exhaust) and cosmetic. Since then Geico claims has attempted to make me liable for the accident in a no fault state and assign financial responsibility to my policy to repair her car even though I was not sighted with and moving infraction only she was. That did not matter since I am an older white male and she is a millennial black woman, I o the claims adjusters was inherently at fault according their claims adjuster Jennifer Franklin. When I demanded her supervisor contact me I was given the same presumptive assumptive argumentative lies (Florida does not have right of way laws just yield laws) by the claims supervisor and that they were waiting fr the police report. I went and got said report verified that she was found guilty of negligent driving (and probably texting on her phone as well reason she hit me) and not sighted operating a Florida licensed car with a Florida home address on an Ohio license (Florida statute 322.031). They had the audacity to assign liability in a no fault state before the police report was received even knowing she had been sighted for negligent driving. This company has become just another virtue signalling social justice serving den of incompetent bureaucrats who have no knowledge of their jobs nor the professional acumen necessary to perform their duties as “licensed” professionals. I am attempting to file with Florida a formal complaint against both adjusters but the coward Bly refused to provide(again required by Florida law) her adjuster license number. This is just the beginning!
Its a absolutely OUTRAGEOUS that Geico …despite UN reports of pending climate catastrophe*…continues to advertise up and down the Hudson River using a plane trailed by a Geico banner:
*”We are the last generation that can prevent irreparable damage to our planet,” General Assembly President María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés warned the gathering in her opening remarks, stressing that 11 years are all that remain to avert catastrophe.”
Do you not have children? How do you sleep at night?
You idiot! That airplane has a carbon foot print that is far less than the car you drive, even if it is a Prius. Get a life !
I love all the complaints up here. They make me laugh. Now understand this. Some of these experiences may be true. And that is ok. I wonder how many of you actually have taken calls anywhere to any company. Imagine doing everything you can for a customer and they sit there and yell and complain for something you cannot do. As you sit there and wonder whats wrong with people, you get blamed for something you never caused at all. Sometimes the customer is wrong. We don’t wave around a wand and make things happen. But apparently some of you think so. So please take some of these complaints. See how you feel afterwards.
Evidently you work for the gecko – trying to raise their terrible rating – I can add to that with two separate instances – this is the worst insurance company out there and yes we are switching
You should try being on the receiving end of a Geico insured accident. That would change your mind real quick.
Yea…NO…The people who are hired to tow vehicles for Geico, in this case, were trying to get my 70 yr old mother to pay them for towing my vehicle that they were already aware it had been paid in full !!!
Shady
I would really like to know why Geico raises my insurance every 6 months without notifying me. I get the same lame excuse every time I call and question it. Rest assured, I will be finding another insurance company and will send a letter to the Texas State Department of Insurance.
I have GEICO Homeowners Insurance. Been a customer for 22 years.
American Claims Management commits frauds for GEICO through Adjuster Robert Carter. Raise premium from storm damages, decreases benefits. Pays off my contractor by my insurance company to commit fraud & damages to my home, while funneling money to others & holding me in a hotel for over 1 year. Reporting to Texas Department of Insurance & Texas Board of Licensing & Regulations. Plan to make my own GEICO Commercial. Will you join me, so others are not defrauded as they stole my property & devalued it. Thanks !
After my boating accident this past July , 7 months later the issues have been resolved .
I am compelled to alert Geico
of what I have witnessed within the
insiders of your company –
a conspiracy among the Geico retained surveyors and the company itself .
It is alarming .
I have dozens of emails with the facts and evidence that will help you
open a much needed in house investigation.
I regret bringing this to your attention .
I trust you will thank me for bringing this inside corruption to your attention .
Had an accident on 4/14/19 where one of Geico’s insurers rear ended my 3 kids and I! Took my vehicle to Dick Smith Paint and Body as it was one of their recommended body shops. Got my vehicle back and had no lights on (check engine light is always on) the next day check engine light is back on along with my passenger seat belt light with no passenger in the vehicle! Attempted to contact Geico about the issue who In turn tells me to go to an Infiniti dealer ship pay for a diagnostic so they can tell me it’s from the accident! Now being that I’m no dummy I know a diagnostic is gonna cost me about 150.00 and it’s only gonna give me a code on what is wrong not how it happened! I know the light was not on before the accident however it is on now! I feel I have no choice but to get an attorney! Worst service ever!
I have been with GEICO since 1994. My policy lapses because one of the agents neglected to put me on the monthly payment as I requested back in March. I had no idea until I called to make the payment for April that the policy was cancelled. Then they wanted to rewrite the policy and it was going to cost me another $100 a year. I’m sorry, but when I’ve been with an insurance company since 1994 and have had absolutely no accidents, I have an issue that they cancel a policy without notifying me. It does make be think it has been done on purpose in order for this greedy company to make more money. Nobody will help me and I called several times in one day asking to be put in touch with management. Very frustrated. Would like to speak with someone in the executive offices.
Had GEICO for 25 years. No accidents or tickets. My Ford Ranger 2002 has no blemishes and the miles total only 27,543. I am retired (75) and drive only to the grocery store, doctors or (near-by) a relatives home.
I kept getting premium increases with GEICO so I changed coverage to Progressive 2 years ago.
My next Progressive 6 months premium is $430.00. I called GEICO today and was quoted $710.00 for the same coverage. Perhaps GEICO doesn’t like senior citizens??? They advertise “15 minutes and SAVE” what a bad joke!
I suggest you call Progressive before you renew with GEICO and get a competitive quote. Just a call and see if you get the outrageous GEICO rate and the reasonable Progressive rates I got…
I am not, nor have I ever worked for Progressive or GEICO. I was a Realtor!
Adjuster Charlie Wheeler is the worst and most unprofessional Adjuster that I have ever dealt with in my 31 years as a paralegal. He is more concerned about telling you how to run your business and he will tell attorneys and their staff that if you are a good attorney/law firm then you know how to negotiate liens for settlement purposes, rather than offering a fair settlement. He even made a comment about how we can pay for Advertising. The funny thing about that is, we don’t advertise. We don’t have to. We are a prominent law firm with seasoned attorneys that have been in business for over 50 years. So, that goes to show that he himself has not done his research. Also, he tried to get me trouble with my boss by telling him I said something when I did not. So be aware of this guy. He is a San Diego based adjuster. Oh, almost forgot, our clients told us that he will try to pressure you into not hiring an attorney. So, be very careful when dealing with him.
I have over 30 years experience dealing with claims adjusters, little with Geico, which is my present carrier and with which I have a pending first party claim. I have always thought Geico to be one of the better more reputable carriers. I have dealt extensively with both standard and nonstandard companies. I am saddened to say that as a Geico insured and Berkshire Hathaway stock holder my recent and pending experience with Geico Has been extremely surprising and disappointing.
Do me, Geico and Berkshire Hathaway a service and have someone with claims and legal experience (approximately 200 personal injury jury trials to verdict for myself) review my claim that is replete with scores of emails which my being a “hunt and peck” typist might exceed my life expectancy if I attempted to relate the issues in this communication.
I thank you for your attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

I had an accident on July 11, 2018. I have yet to receive any resolution. Backstory: Accident they advised me to go to Elite Body Auto Shop (PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE!!!!) I received my car and first thing I noticed was my glove box hand was broken when it wasn’t when I had the accident because I had to retrieve my registration out of there. They replaced with no problem. I had to pop the dashboard back into place but didn’t think anything of it. I later discovered that the bottom rocker was off. They stated that wasn’t a part of the accident even though they have to remove that piece to recreate the front of the vehicle. Then I reported my hood was not put in properly and the doors were off the side piece to my vehicle was bulging. The pushed and pulled and still didn’t fix it. Told me it would be too much to do and the alignment will still be off. I told them I paid insurance for incidents as such and I would like to have my vehicle returned in the condition prior to the accident. I eventually negotiated with the adjuster to permit my vehicle to be fixed by Buick. He agreed. They told me there were items listed on my receipt that weren’t done and marked up my vehicle telling me what wasn’t done
I am beyond livid. I had an incident that results in some front end damage in October and I still don’t have my car back. It will be 5 months! Every update has a “twist”. The car didn’t start after they completed repairs, a control module was suddenly needed, an inspection was needed, the original assessment was wrong, etc. Most recently, after the shop put the car back together (again) the steering wheel doesn’t work!!!! I am making payments on a Lexus and driving a rental Versa. I am paying full GEICO coverage on a car that I have not been able to drive. There were issues with my ez pass account and Enterprise and my rep was no help, My rep, Matthew Rivera, might as well be invisible. He never has answers. Service King and Lexus are failing and he is doing NOTHING. No sense of urgency and can never do anything to help. His “hands are tied”. I’m seeking legal recourse at this point. I am very, very disappointed. This is not okay.
My husband and I had been with Geico for 21 years, they have a sister company for home owners ins. called Foremost. I have been with them for over three years. I recently had hail damage to the roof of my two story brick ranch home dealing with Foremost has been a nightmare to say the least. I feel they are trying very hard not to fix my problems. They actually said the roof leaking was not the reason the damage inside my home had occurred, I would really like too know what planet they are from. This is the most stupid remark I have ever heard in my life. This has been going on since Oct of this year, and I must stop really soon. I am 71 years old and have paid my premiums faithfully, and I want this taken care of a.s.a.p. I am going to loose my home if not taken care of soon, ad I will not quit fighting for this. I will contact the BBB, the local insurance comm., Consumer services, and the failure to act right organization. This is wrong and the one young man working for them that has caused most of the delay still works with you. I have always paid my bills, and will continue to do so. I will contact the local media if necessary. People should not have to fight for what they have invested in for years.I will keep fighting for my home if it takes forever, and will not quit until someone with a brain steps in and quits cheating seniors because they think they can, just to make browny points with a company for chance of better pay and higher position. How would you like someone to treat your Mo or Grandmom this way? I need this fixed quickly it is destroying my hardwood floors and most of the ceilings in my home. I will go to every aspect of the media that will listenI am a fighter, not a coward.
My son, who is a 4th year resident at ucla, backed up and bumed into a car behind him, very little damage but it was a BMW. My son’s insurance was 800.00 jumped up to 1800.00 with this first accident ever. This is ridiculous, for this amount, scouter we have in fla. Is insured by you, when we get down there, will find another insurer, you should be ashamed of your company, taking people’s money and giving nothing back when it’s your turn
I’ve been a GEICO customer for about 32 years. My family has insured a number of vehicles with this company. That is about to end,
The incompetence and cold manner in which I was treated in dealing with cancelling my deceased son’s insurance, and getting a promised refund, has been intolerable.
There’s little chance I’ll remain a customer. There’s a very good chance I’ll be taking this story to the news media.
Gieco have always been good to me. They are like family to me. I cannot believe all i see here. They are always professionals to me. Always help me. I think they are the best Insurance ever. I have no complaints. They always try to work with me. They look out for me.
They are the best.
Just wait until you need them.
Was rear-ended by a uninsured motorist and told by Megan at Geico on 8/16 that my deductible would be $100 b/c the driver that hit me was uninsured. Went to Abra Collision Center (as instructed by Geico) and was told my deductible was $0 (its written on the collision detail form). Ben (Geico Adjuster) called me on 8/24 and said my car was ready for pickup. Went to pick up my car on 8/25, was told my deductible was $500 to get my car. On top of that, my car is not fully repaired. The trunk is still off alignment(just like when I took it in for repair), as well as the electrical buzzing noise coming from the rear of the car is still present. My car is a brand new 2018 Ford Taurus that I’ve only had for 1 month and there was no buzzing sound until my car was rear-ended. Geico does not want to take responsibility for the for buzzing sound and is telling me to take it to the Ford Dealership and get an affidavit from them that the sound is a result of the accident. AGAIN…my car is brand new…there was no sound prior to my car being hit. In the midst of all this, I asked the Geico “supervisor” matt to retrieve a copy of the recorded phone call on 8/16 with Megan stating that my deductible would only be $100…I was told by Matt and other reps on 8/25 that the call was not recorded on that day and that they don’t record every call….which I know is a lie. Insurance companies are bound by law to record the conversations. I still don’t have my car and I will not pick up my car until it is fully repaired!(just like when I took it in for repair, so why won’t Geico retrieve the recorded phone call on 8/16? SOMEONE NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATE THIS COMPANY FOR THEIR SHADY PRACTICES. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THEIR SHADINESS..AND I HAVE SIGNED THE PETITION! I AM ALSO CONSULTING WITH AN ATTORNEY
Chrisa,
Your story is similar to mine. My car was also rear ended and then the nightmare started. GEICO appears to be cheating every American and they find out when it happens to them individually. I have also sued GEICO in a court of law. If you like to be a party, please let me know, ASAP. You can also communicate with me on the email address I have given.
Thank you,
Reehan Malik
I was also rear-ended by a Geico insured driver and it’s ridiculous what they are doing. Here is the letter I wrote to the adjuster:
Geico case number 0342184070101113 Request sent to the Geico adjuster. I’ve been trying for a week to contact her to no avail.
Good day Mindy. As you know, I have already purchased a vehicle and it will be delivered sometime within the next two weeks. I am having to call Geico for extensions on the rental and they have been able to extend the contract for only a few days at a time.
The last person I spoke with was very distressed because I told her my car was not yet delivered and I needed the rental until my new car arrives.
I am asking you to extend my rental agreement for two weeks or until my car is delivered.
I have been very patient and I even took a downgraded rental just to help Geico save money (my car was the luxury car of my dreams). Your client has already cost us more than $10k and to have to rent a car in addition to what this has already cost us would be unacceptable.
I have my husband on this text message so that either one of us can answer any questions. I would like to hear back from you today February 18th, 2020.
I have been inordinately agreeable and helpful during this whole process and I only ask that Gieco be fair and reasonable in return.

I filed a claim with Geico on July 10, 2016 and the adjuster said the motorcycle was a total loss and sent it to salvage. After two months passed and nothing was paid and numerous calls I found out it had never went further then the adjuster, who, upon contacting him said he was waiting on the mileage, he was the last person to see the motorcycle and was told the mileage could be obtained 5 miles down the road from the harley davidson dealer because it had just been worked on.
Once I dug up the information for him I figured it would get processed, but after another two months passed I heard nothing. After multiple calls to Geico and HDFS, Geico claimed it was a problem with HDFS that was causing the delay.
Meanwhile, the aftermarket product insurance that I took out in the amount of $3500 and provided receipts for, was paid by Geico in the amount of $980 out of over $4000 in receipts. I complained to the adjuster who told me it was paid on the added value those parts gave to the motorcycle, when it clearly states it is suppose to be paid at todays cash value. After filing complaints with BBB and Consumer affairs, the adjuster called and sent me another check for $1500.00 This was intentional deceit and theft. Meanwhile still nothing paid on my motorcycle as HDFS continued to ruin my credit with missed payments and both companies were told that I could not make payments because I had to stop working to take care of my wife that suffered a TBI in the accident. Geico sent me paperwork for a total loss on the bike and seeing that I did not agree I never signed anything. In February 2017, I was informed by HDFS that Geico finally sent in a payment. Of course not in full and of course HDFS kept ruining my credit. The GAP coverage company AHIS that never contacted me once after GEICO made a payment finally paid most of the rest of it in JULY 2017 (13) months. After further investigation I found out that HDFS had released the title to Geico in Februry and GEICO had sold the motorcycle to someone else and it was involved in another accident in April 2017. No one informed me of a thing. HDFS released the title and continued to ruin my credit by reporting the payments late on a title loan with no title. Geico at no point in time ask me, informed me, or anything else on the status of the motorcycle after I did not sign off on the paperwork. It was just sold as if I did not matter the least bit and I never received as much as a I’am sorry from Geico. Due to their poor customer service and theft of my motorcycle my credit score was ruined to the point that it went from 780 to the low 500s to the point that I could not even refinance my home that had $100,000 in equity, which I needed to keep my other bills current and take care of my family. Geico intentionally underpaid the coverage I had, ruined my credit by their lack of customer service and has done absolutely nothing to correct what they did. Currently I haved turned it over to an attorney.
What a rip off company. All the doXXXXentation is available to anyone upon request.
Reason of review: total rip off.
Preferred solution: credit recovery paid for by GEICO, 80000 in damages to my credit score now 523.
FRAUDRIP OFF INSURANCEGEICO SUCKS
I was hit on may 6 th 2018 and before the guy ran off with his friend he took my wallet and his friend tried to take me before they left and when a guard that worked at a hotel infront of the crash site walked up and the guy let me go he took cash that fell on my floor in the crash I have seen both the driver that hit me and his friend around my town before the crash and when I found out who the insured was I looked up everyone with the name and names close to it and what do you know I found the guy that hit me and his friend so now I know both names and Geico said that they are not related and the car was old and parked and had not moved before it was stolen 2 1/2 days after I was hit by said car I had to show them a report that it was driven on the day I said not when they said it was stolen I told them I had been asking around my small town and that there was 2 bars that had video of the guy driving the day he hit me and months before and they said that the owner said it was not moved when I said and they have people that said the same but they have no proof that the car was where they said but since I have been showing pictures of them around my town they were spotted at 6 bars in my town in the last yr before Harvey flooded our town and all the bars have video inside and outside there is all kinds of proof that he has been driving the car for over a year and no proof that the car was parked so Geico had closed my claim even though there is proof against the guy and I have a totaled truck and injuries from the wreck they changed their story every time I talked to them and I believe since I have PTSD that they are discriminating against me so I guess if you have Geico insurance you can drink and drive and hit or kill someone and as long as you call you car in as stolen with in a few days you can get away with it and you are home free and the people you hurt are just screwed no matter how much proof you have as long as you stick to your story that your car was parked then stolen and you don’t know who took it you don’t even have to have proof must be nice to hurt people brake the law and get away with with the help of GEICO
On 6/20/2018 my son was involved in a MVA. I contacted GEICO insurance to report the claim the same day. The representative that took the claim information informed me that my vehicle did not have property damage coverage and that my repairs would not be covered. I had no idea what the representative was referring to. So after dealing with submitting a report and getting everything else situated. I contacted GEICO on 6/21/2018 at 8am. I spoke with my claims adjuster by the name of Kimberly who again states that coverage on my 2018 Kia Forte was changed on 5/16/2018. I told her I never changed anything on my coverage.
On 5/10/2018 I purchased my 2018 Kia Forte from the Kia dealer. Since the car is being financed through the bank it requires for the vehicle to have full coverage. On 5/10 while at the dealer I contacted GEICO. I advised that I needed to add another vehicle on my policy and needed full coverage on my 2018 Kia Forte which I have proof of. On 5/16/2018 I contacted GEICO again because I noticed they made an error on my policy. The mixed up my vehicles. I have a total of 3 vehicles under the same policy. I SPECIFICALLY advised the representative they needed to make the changes on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra. The Elantra was to stay having the basic coverage it had initially and that the Kia remains at a full coverage. I advised the representative that the ONLY thing that was to be excluded from the Kia was road side assistance because I have AAA. It appears the representative mixed up both vehicles and ended up taking my full coverage off of my 2018 Kia Forte. I have talked to over 15 people at Geico regarding the error that they made. I spoke with supervisor Alan in the claims department who I may add was extremely rude and said that they were not going to help. My adjuster Kimberly who just continues to say that they are not covering my claim. I spoke with several people in the customer service department who I have a list of names and ID numbers because they won’t provide their last names. I spoke with 2 people in the underwriting department as well who at first informed me that they are not allowed to speak with the insureds and it turns out they can. I spoke with a Courtney who states to be the customer services supervisor who indicated that the department that can make the changes to the error made is the claims department but the claims department says is the customer service department that will need to make the changes. Every time I call Geico they still confuse my Hyundai with the Kia. They give me different stories and answers and no one wants to own up to the mistake they made and are trying to cover their mistake by just brushing me off the phone and not helping me. I pay a lot of insurance and have 3 vehicles insured with GEICO. I have NEVER had such a terrible experience in my life with an insurance company and the way they have unlawfully treated me. They have treated my case and myself with bad faith and not once have they made any intentions on getting the situation resolved. I was never told verbally nor in writing that my policy coverage had changed. I asked for them to pull the recording of the conversation that took place on 5/16/2018 and they don’t have one because per Geico they don’t record all of their conversations. I asked if they had anything in writing from me providing consent, a legal doXXXXent anything showing that I actually approved or authorized such a change and they said they did not. They’re response was “WE HAVE TO GO WHAT WAS DOXXXXENTED “TYPED” BY THE REPRESENTATIVE IN THE FILE” They don’t have any prove AT ALL that I made these changes and yet GEICO wants to screw me over and not pay for my claim. PLEASE HELP!!! I HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP UNTIL THEY PAY AND COVER THE REPAIRS ON MY VEHICLE.
I really do hope Geico will be separating itself from any assosiation with the sponorship of that vile and vulgar tv show Samantha Bee Full Frontal. I do not watch that show but have seen the reports of recent content that does not belong in the public domain. Calling someone such deplorable things on a scripted show was purely intentional. No slip of the tounge, no accident.
I am writing to report unprofessional conduct of one of your Claims Adjusters, Amber Nickens, 540-286-9275.
I was involved in an accident with your insured following claim: 0175523100101088. The accident occurred March 26,2018. I did not receive a call from Nickens until April 3, 2018. I was at work and missed her call. I called her back to get her voicemail, which I left a message to have her return my call.
On April 4, 2018, approximately 1300, I received a call from Nickens. She spoke to me about the process of the claim and how the claim was being denied because it was based off of (in her words) he say/she say information. I found that to be fair as to why to not accept liability. What I found unfair, was that there was no other attempt to de-conflict or resolve the issue. I had some follow-up questions for Nickens, where she grew aggressive with her responses.
My first question was to her, what other factors are being considered to determine fault of the accident? She proceeded to tell me vaguely that the statements and photos were all taken into consideration and that she determined the other driver not at fault. My next question to her was how the considerations impacted the determination? She told me that statements told one story of both drivers getting over into the same lane and the same time and one driver (me) already traveling in the lane and the other driver coming over. I then proceeded to say, I am sure you hear different accounts for claims all of the time, how do you determine liability by just a statement. I was told that THREE factors helped to dispute this issue.
The first factor is that a Police Officer needed to witness the accident happen. Second, there needed to be a witness that stayed after and gave an account. Third, many cars now (in her words) are equipped with cameras that have video capability. None of these factors are concrete in fairness.
The accident occurred on 495 South Bound between exit 31A and 31B. The highway operates with 4 lanes. From right to left, I counted the lanes 1-4. Before the accident, I was traveling in lane 2 and the other driver in lane 4. With the way clear I got over into lane 3. About 6 seconds later, through my driver’s window, I see the other driver merging into my now new lane. With my first instinct, I wanted to get back over the lane 2, however, at that time vehicles in lane 2 were already passing by making this impossible. So I speed up and therefore, I was forced to get hit towards back side of the driver’s side.
After recalling this account to Nickens, I was told, the other driver was her responsibility and I was not. She proceeded to tell me that the other driver pays GEICO to insure her and I do not pay GEICO. After this account, I told her I did not appreciate how aggressive she became and I wanted to speak with someone else. She proceeded to tell me she was the one handling the claim and I needed to speak with her (disregarding me now being uncomfortable speaking with her. I asked her to speak with her manager, to whom she quickly answered that he was away. I then had to ask if she could have him give me a call. She said yes with no confidence for me to believe that she would actually pass the message.
I agreed with her to speak with the manager to which this call ended.
I currently am with GEICO for renters and was considering switching my car insurance as well because of the great reviews that I get. However, Nickens has halted that decision. In fact, I will be cancelling my GEICO renters insurance and will continue to inform others of my review until I believe all fairness is considered.
The issue at hand is not the denial of claim, however, I would like for my claim to be reviewed by another claim adjuster. The issue is the unprofessional and disrespect I encountered with this entire claims experience.
I have been with Geico for 5 years, I’ve never had an accident. I had only glass claims on my file. Unfortunately, I was involved in an accident. I called Geico gave them all the information needed. There was no payout, Geico paid zero dollars for this. 2 months later, I walked outside someone hit my car parked. I was not in the vehicle, I don’t know who did it or what happened. I researched and researched if I should just pay out of pocket or file a claim. Many people warned if you file a claim, and it costs more than your premium, Geico will increase you premium to the amount of the claim. They have to make money not lose money. I spoke with a Geico rep who assured if I am not actively involved in an accident it’s no fault and will not be held against me. It’s best they know and fix it. I went ahead filed the claim 1 month later Geico increased my insurance from $1029 to $2500. They are holding against me the accident which they made no payout and the parked vehicle claim. Rep says it’s still an accident 1) if you are involved in an accident do not tell Geico unless you want a higher premium. Although they like to believe telling them will help you. They are liars, they will hold it against you. There’s no forgiveness, there’s no not a fault, there’s no better if we know. There is we need to make money and more money. With a company that makes billions in revenue this should not be ok. Geico has made more than $2700 (the amount for the parked vehicle claim) from me over the past 5 years. I’ve heard nothing but horror premium stories from former & present Geico customers. I still gave them the benefit of the doubt but I guess it was my turn. I will not renew my policy with Geico, I will never suggest anyone being insured by Geico. I’ve had other insurance companies ( driving for over 10 years) never had a premium increase or anything like this. It’s absolutely insane from $1029 to $2500, doesn’t even sound reasonable.
I have been a Geico holder for many years, never filing a claim, never an accident, etc.
This year, since Jan18, my premium have almost tripled. When I called my Geico people in Ft. Collins , CO., I was talked to by a very rude female supervisor after I lodged my concern and complaint. When I threaten to quit her abruptly dropped the conversation as to say,” go ahead”. I use to think GEICO was a good and appreciative company. No more. But I am very seriously considering dropping all insurance with you. Worst service I have had with you in many years!

SHABBY TREATMENT OF POLICYHOLDERS!
Dear Sir,
I have been a policyholder of GEICO for nearly forty years. (Policy number: 0901-36—65-00) In all that time, after paying GEICO tens of thousands of dollars, I never cost the company a single penny.
By way of thanks, you are cancelling my policy by increasing my premiums twice yearly; soon I will have to drop the policy because I will not be able to afford the premiums.
I ask that you cease this unwarranted procedure and reduce my premium to the semiannual amount of $462.93.
Thank you GEICO! 301-986-3000
A. Fragapane
I just discovered how stupid I am for a very intelligent person.
I have owned a Geico policy for 10-Years+. I have never caused an accident, have a clean driving record, paid premiums on time; ultimately a great reliable customer. About2-years ago, I had an accident which was deemed my fault because of the locale of my vehicle. The Police Officer share, “I hope you win this one. it was the other’s driver’s fault…” I felt the same way. Long story short, Geico deemed me at fault (as mentioned) due to where my car was. Moving forward, when I received my renewal doXXXXents from Geico, I almost fainted. I am now paying $2,300 a year for a 2008 Volvo. Their excuse for the $1,700 increase was due to the accident. I called multiple times in an effort to discover an error in the increase, some type of discount or thereof. The company was of no help. I attempted to contact the Office of the President or Escalations Department for assistance. Guess what? There is no such department per the Geico customer service Reps and managers. “We do not have a number for a Corporate Office, Escalations Desk nor Office of the President…” They said.
Having shared this, while I am performing research for another insurance companies, I also have to find another job in order to pay the insurance. I now more than despise Geico. The company advertises, “We can save you money…” The company is built on lies, deception and more lies. They have no allegiance to customer, more-less, the longtime customers. If it were not for the law forcing people to have have insurance, Geico would be singing a different tune.
This company does not care.
They are liars.
They are shameless hustlers.
They are “Legal Thieves”.
Thank You Geico. If I could render no stars as a ranking, you would receive nothing.
My neighbor hit my car while it was parked on December 12, 2017 and I took my car in to Caliber Collision in Rock hill which was assigned to me by geico on December 13, 2017. The adjuster Michelle Thomas who worked for geico but in this shop said that there was a possibility that the paint could come back a different color which was weird because I’ve never heard of anything like that. They called me at 3 P.M. On December 15th and said my car would be ready at 5:30. I thought that was a little sketchy because it would be dark at that time and if there were any issues I wouldn’t be able to notice and I was right. I saw that the paint was off the next day but the shop was closed. I called first thing Monday morning and was instructed to bring it in the following day so they could take a look. Another adjuster who also worked for geico took a look at my car and said that she noticed the difference in color and they would correct it and then begged me not to do the survey or review. They put me in another rental and kept my car for three days but when I picked it up they said that they didn’t see anything wrong with it, what was the point in keeping my car then. I called geico again and asked to speak to a supervisor about my claim and Gewan Ramsarran came out to my home to take a look at the car. He did everything he could to point the finger elsewhere instead of listening to my concern but had the nerve to say that the people in the shop had poor customer service. He also said that it’s a three step paint job so that could be why it’s off and then said that the metal on the car is going to be a different color than the plastic on the car, he said everything he could except for you’re right it’s off we will fix it. My car was struck by a dear a few years ago and it came back to me as if there was nothing ever wrong with it, the paint was perfect. I pointed out where the car paint was off where Caliber painted it and he said that it was off on the other side too but that side has never been touched. Instead of him saying we will fix it and get the paint to match he said the best thing that I can do is get an attorney. The warranty on the paint job that they swear you have if there are any issues is a lie and now I’m driving around with a two toned car. I am now considering leaving geico and I will be contacting the attorney general’s office like Gewan Ramsarran suggested. This has been nothing but a headache since December 2017.

Our policy was cancelled a couple months ago, although GEICO agreed to honor all open claims.
We have a covered vehicle for which there is still an open claim(s) – 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 – which has been in a local repair shop since November 2017.
The repair amounted to a damaged bumper – one piece, which we were told was ‘on order’ by the local repair shop (a couple months now). We have since been informed by the shop that a part of the bumper was damaged at a different time, and a second claim would needed to be submitted before they could make repairs.
Why haven’t we heard from you??????
Why are we being charge $500 deductible twice for the SAME PART?????
Is our vehicle being held HOSTAGE until we pay another $500 for the SAME PART?????
If you had not cancelled our policy, we surely would have ourselves. Your organization takes our money ‘Johnny on the spot!’ BUT continues to have problems with claims – late response, no action at all, double-dipping, no contacts, emails, calls, etc.
I do not understand the ignorance of Geico. I am involved as a third party claimant. The Geico insured fell asleep at the wheel and proceeded to drive her SUV through my front yard ruining my landscaping and killing a 40 ft, mature tree. This occurred in July 2017; this is not February 2018 and still no resolution. Per CA state insurance regulations, Geico is mandated to send me a written breakdown of what their offer entails. They are flat out REFUSING to do this. I found it impossible to negotiate or even accept an offer because I don’t know what their paying for and what they’re denying. I got a few second breakdown over the phone by the supervisor (I had to file a complaint to the insurance board to even get a supervisor even though I’ve requested one multiple times). What they are refusing to pay is for the planting of the replacement tree which requires a crane and $7,000. How can they pay for a tree (half the size of what I lost) and not pay to have this 12,000 pound, 5′ by 5′ box planted? That’s like saying we’ll pay for the parts to fix your car but not the labor! Makes absolutely no sense at all. If this is not resolved in my next phone call, I will seek an attorney. I will NEVER USE GEICO…EVER!!
To whom this matter may concern;
I was involved in an accident on 12-24-17 in a CVS parking lot in which the other party was backing out of a parking space as I was in the process of turning into a parking space from the center lane between parking on both sides of the center lane. The 16 year old driver of the other vehicle involved begged me not to contact the police however, I thought otherwise.
When the officer arrived we both gave our versions of what happen. The 16 year old stated ” that she was backing up and did not see me and so forth until making contact with my vehicle.” I contacted Geico and filed a claim and couldn’t help but to notice that the other party’s vehicle was insured by Geico as well. Several days went by and I contacted Geico again for a status update and was informed that the claims adjuster was having problems contacting the owner of the vehicle involved in the accident. I asked my adjuster was this a conflict of interest being that Geico was insuring both of the party’s vehicles.
Upon giving my recorded statement of what happened the day of the accident as well as informing the adjuster that the other driver stated to the officer that was onsite and completed a exchange of information form that she was in the process of backing out of her parking space when the accident occurred and that she did not see me. Why was my claim denied even after the adjuster spoke with the officer and the officer backed up my statement? Is this a common practice?
I have experienced the worst customer experience in my life at the expense of the so called Office Manager Brandon Harris in the Sacramento office. He basically called me a liar when I explained I only called to get a quote from Geico and not to have a newly aquired vehicle added to my policy. His employee added the vehicle without my consent after I asked him if he could give me a better quote, I told him I would be checking my options with other companies and would call him back. After getting a better quote from Mercury insurance. I called Geico back to see if they could at least match Mercury’s price so that I didn’t have to change insurance companies. Only to be informed that the vehicle had already been added to my policy. I was furious and explained I didn’t’ tell him to add it. No one would listen to me and basically called me a liar and said I told them to add the vehicle. This caused me to cancel my auto insurance and homeowners policy with Geico. I refused to do business with a company that doesn’t listen to their customer and has no regard or belief in their customer. Never will I do business with that company again!!!
@Geico is the best insurance company out there… until you need them. I too, probably like everyone else here, was enticed by #Geico’s low rates which draws you in.
Buyer beware. You do get what you pay for. Their customer service is horrid at best and non-existent at the worst. Hearing back from their body shop takes an act of God. After finally calling the initial claims adjuster because I can’t get the body shop to call me back, surprisingly, they were able to speak to someone at the body shop. I was informed that I will have my car back in 2 days and that the body shop will pickup the remainder of my rental car.
What #Geico fails to realize is that I couldn’t care less about the rental car. I am supremely irritated by their lack of communication and fundamental lack of customer service. Every piece of information I have about my vehicle’s status was due to self-initiated contact with #Geico and their adjusters.
In what world is that OK? I have now been without my car for over 1 month and I have no confidence that anything that they tell me will come to fruition.
Geico, your customer service sucks.
They sent me to a mechanic shop that reuse parts from my car when it was an accident now it has totally destroyed my suspension in my car and they refuse to redo it they accuse me of being in a Nother accident which is not true the same wheel the same spot with no cosmetic damage and they say it’s my fault they reuse points to my car from the accident took it to Hyundai and they said shotty work they still refuse to fix my car
Glad to see that you all have more than one place for dissatisfied customers to leave remarks and comments about your pi** poor business practices very very very dissatisfied not only are your ways underhanded you can’t contact somebody to verify information before making changes in to a policy!!! What kind of BULLS**T y’all think people will tolerate!!! Very freak’n dissatisfied with the way you conduct business!!! Tell’n everybody that will listen about your bogus a** company an posting it freak’n everywhere!!!
Dear Corporate Geico,
I apologize for bothering you but I feel this is an issue that needs to be brought to your attention. I am a current customer through GEICO and I am extememly dissatisfied. My license was suspended for the lack of compitence in your employees. I have called 4 times including today to have a certificate of compliance sent to the bmv. It was just sent today, that is unacceptable. When I called the first time in October 2017 this should have been done. I called again after getting pulled over and ticketed for Driving While Suspended on Tuesday 11/14/17 to have the certificate of compliance sent again to the bmv. It wasn’t recieved Tues, Wed, or Thurs, Unacceptable. It was sent today 11/17/17 after I escalated my issue to a supervisor at your contact center. I asked what was going to be done for me because I normally don’t ask for anything just the situation rectified. It’s still not rectified. My license is still suspended, but you take my money automatically every month, I have never filed a claim. I have full coverage and pay it every month and there is nothing you are going to do for me, unacceptable. I want justice. I deserve at the very least a discount of a substantual amount, or a personal gift card sent to me. Mr. Nicely, walk in my shoes for a moment how would you feel? Your license suspended missing work because you work in another town so you can’t afford to pay for a cab or uber to work. I am missing work you are costing me money because of a mistake your company made. I know I’m just a little fish in your corporate pond but hear me this is unfair not to mention the supervisor whom I spoke to disconnected my call. She hung up on me. That is unacceptable she never warned me, and I’ll be honest yes I was upset and yes I did become a little irate and cussed at her, and I apologize for that but she hung up on me and my license is still suspended at the current time.
I want you to call or contact me 1-765-808-XXXXX, torresangela1985@ yahoo.com

You have my name address, email and phone number. I know all calls are recorded for quality assurance I called from my cell phone number, and the original time I believe I called from my home phone, pull the calls have your QA listen to them. This is unjust, unacceptable and I am going to give you a chance to give me a discount, gift card or something before I go to the BBB.
Sincerly Dissatisfied Customer,
Angela Marie Torres
I am requesting a call or email on how you will fix this.
After 21 years with this organization and a combination of 53 years combined with my family. I’m very concerned with the safety and compliance of this organization, I contacted Geico claims on 10/13/ regarding a vandalism claim for one of my vehicles. Due to the nature of the concerns the vehicle was towed to one of Geico’s preferred shops on 10/21/17. I didn’t need a rental car since I figured the turn time for the inspection would be a few days. By day 4 was told they are very busy and the claims adjuster was new and he would get to my car as ASAP. I was also told that my car was in great pristine condition based on the make and model. I advised I take care of my cars and when I hears the noise and saw the leaking from the car I was concerned since my other car had been vandalized previously. y day 5 I requested a rental car since I needed to get around and travel. By day 7 I was concerned and wanted to know what was taking s long to inspect my vehicle. My adjuster advised me that he was in Macon for training and was referring my car to a Senior adjuster by the name of Hollis. Ok, so I ask how long will it be for the senior adjuster to inspect the vehicle? I was advised by the weeks end. Now were on day 10 I ‘m calling and being told they cant find the noise and there’s nothing wrong with my car. I’m providing details and instructions as well. Now I’m upset!!! So, on day 10 I’m told I can pick up the car and they identified a oil leak and I can pick up the car. I tell them ok I’ll be there on day 12. I go an pick up my car and immediately when I sit in the chair I determine that my seat is not working properly and is off track with a shift to the door. I tell then turn the car on and I her a noise coming from under the hood I get on my hands and knees to see if something is loose and pop the hood. I see nothing, I then go and advise the shop of my concerns. I’m told that Geico handled the vehicle and they don’t know anything about my car… I’m confused because the car has been on the property for 10 + days. I ask for the supervisor and I’m told that they are in a meeting. I advise that I could wait to speak to someone to address my concerns. So, I’m very alarmed because there wasn’t any rattling going on nor was my seat not working at 100%. So, I wait and Hollis comes out and asks what’s the concern, we go out and view the car. I say there’s something wrong with my chair and there’s some rattling under the car. Hollis inform me that they didn’t do anything to the car but look under the hood and under the car. I say well who drove the car in the inspections? he says he did I then shared with him that the seat is broken and I didn’t ring it to them in this condition. I also made reference to when you have a favorite chair you know that it’s been messed with. I also state that because I’m 5’2 I knew that the chair would need to be adjusted but not broken. I then asked well where is the findings of what you determined for the car. I was told that he couldn’t give me anything and that it was verbal. I told him I would be escalating this and left because it was clear that Mr. Hollis was not a very honest or ethical person. So, now Its the next day I say let me go take the car out and no sooner than I drive the car the bottom of the undercarriage falls down and is dragging the ground. I’m upset because my seat is busted and now I can’t drive the car because of the safety hazard that’s dragging on the ground. So, now I’m forced to call Geico and report the hazard on my car. I call and tell the whole story to Christina in claims who set’s up a tow. I share with her that I don’t trust this shop or the people working there because this is unprofessional and unacceptable. I then ask for the notes from the adjuster since I couldn’t understand how they could let me drive out knowing that there no fasteners placed on the vehicle . I then proceeded to take pictures of the safety concerns that I was face with . So now I have to get the car towed and give this preferred shop ABBRA the opportunity to fix what has now been broken and neglected. I’m Irate at this point …. While maintaining my professionalism I go ahead and set up the tow which is not going to happen until the next day which is on a Saturday. So, I have to get up at 7:30 to have the car towed. I provided all of the concerns again with the representative and she assures me that they know what’s wrong and that I’m coming with the car. So I get the car towed and they fix the undercarriage and place brackets to hold the plastic piece that’s now mangled. So I ask about the seat and I’m told ohh we can’t address that due to the level of training of the techs onsite today. So now I have to leave the car until Monday . In the meantime I contact a claims supervisor Freddy who calls me on Monday. So of course I’m prepared to file a DOI complaint and reach out to the senior leadership at geico this is horrible. I’ve been inconvenienced, lied to, my safety has been jeopardized and my seat was broken in the car and custody of Geico employees and there preferred shop. So, Freddy assures me that he will get an inspection and that this wasn’t done maliciously. I advised him I’m sure it wasn’t however, this isn’t correct considering I never was advised what was the noise that I heard and I was told the car was ready for pick-up. Which it wasn’t . So now I have no car and a broken seat. I call to get a follow-upon my car and I’m told that a repair man is coming . Then I’m told it was identified that the frame has to be replaced. So today I get a call from an claims rep telling me that my deductible is due for this incident. I’m appalled how could this be that I have to pay when they broke my seat!!! I really need to understand how geico can justify this as a claim that I initiated when the damage was done by there staff. Geico should accept responsibility and pay the cost to repair the set. my claim was closed once based on my initial concerns although they weren’t addressed. This damage was due to there negligence. I would love to get some insight from a senior claims leader prior to my filing my DOI complaint. Please note I still don’t have my car and I’m currently un my second rental for the new claim that’s been filed.
Regards,
Kenya Deleon
.Mr. Nicely, my name is Caroline Talley. Dorothy Conner is a policy holder with Geico.
Dorothy Conner rear ended me on Oct. 3.2017
I have really tried to resolve this in a cordial way.
Your Dallas office agents have lied, made false statements and fabricated two different statements about Dorothy Conne
My claim # is 0568586650101019.
I have spoke with Jared Levin, Ms. Rima, Brad Belk, Mr. D Harris. Also their supervisor.
I have called your office and spoke with Ms. Rita Post also.
Please listen and read Jared Levin and Ms. Rima notes.
They were stating Dorothy yielded on the frontage rd. Then they change her story she was behind me exiting off 199 highway. Also stated Dorothy Conner was driving to azle from out of town to visit her Dad.
Mr. Nicely, Dorothy Conner lives in Azle Tx.
I have another audio of Mr. Harris lying about your client and she is from out of town
They can’t keep up with their lies.
Fortunately, I have.
Not matter how you slice or dice this, she rear ended me.
I am meeting with the officer who took the report. So he can listen to Mr. Harris message he left for me!
I have been lied to, denied and heard two fabricated statements. In my almost 57 years on this earth, I have never met the most dishonest group of insurance agents.
Do you know your agents act in this manner to save you a few dollars?!
I gave your agents till Friday to take care of my claim and medical. I would appreciate you help in this matter and do the right thing.
Please call me at 817 806 XXXXX. I truly hope to hear from you and do the right thing Mr. Nicely.
Agents are rude and talk to you in a condescending manner as did a supervisor. Each agent tells you a different thing and when you ask them to refer to the notes of prior agent there is never anything written. It’s hard to get a straight answer when you talk to different people and because of the misunderstanding GEICO terminated my policy and if I want it back because of the lapse of insurance the increase is an additional $250. per month. OUTRAGEOUS I will be looking for insurance with a no nonsense company.
I have been a Geico customer for approximately 8 years. I called them on June 19th, asking for a lowering of my deductibles. I agreed to pay more so the deductibles would drop, and all seemed well. Anyways,I live on a very dusty gravel road and developed a crack in my windshield. I then called them to make a windshield claim. They managed to get me a windshield for my car which took them nearly 2 weeks. In the meanwhile, they had their special investigations unit harass, and bully me about this claim. They stated i did not have a police report, or a witness to this incident and needed proof that this really happened?? Huh? I told them i would send a few pictures of my windshield, and they agreed this would be sufficient evidence. Then i chatted with another special investigator, and they wanted a police report, or someone who could actually say the crack happened on the date of the claim. I was basically being labeled as a liar. ABSURD!! My character was defamed, and i was now being treated like a scam artist, or a criminal by this widely known company. Anyways, they sent one of there referred companies by the name of safelite to install my windshield. The snot faced kid said he could not install my windshield due to a speck of rust and silicone around my windshield, and this after he showed up almost 2 hours late, I was furious!. I grabbed the windshield out of his hands and told him ill contact Geico and find someone else. I called Geico back and told them what happened. They told me a supervisor would have to call me back. Never received any calls from anyone from Geico, and now i have to drive my car around illegally because of their poor communication. Its been like 3 days, and still not a call back whatsoever. I then cancelled my account with Geico, and found insurance elsewhere. This has been a nightmare for me. First they helped, then they basically called out possible fraud, and finally they stopped dealing with me altogether?? I thought they were on my side. I filed with the Washington state insurance commisioner. Iam extremely disappointed in the whole Geico organization for treating me like im a nobody… or a criminal of some sort. Not cool at all, I will never refer anyone to this shady business. I demand an apology for defaming my good character, and running me through the mill.
Comments: Account: 0686196304 I have never been so insulted in my life to jack up our insurance by more than $1,700 for no fault accidents, including a hit and run. Then talk with a smartass supervisor who tells me that after 30 years of being a client. That we are lucky that they still insure us. REALLY???? To top it off we are being hit with a PIP that shows other insurance companies that she was at fault. Basically monopolies our opportunity to shop with other providers. I will pay an attorney before we continue to be hostage to these rates and the total lack of common sense.

You all need to be talking to me. The lack of respect is no joke to me. One of the worst customer service calls I have had in my life.
We have been with Geico for over 30 years I can’t believe that this company would hold no fault claims against its own policy holders. This includes a hit and run and being backed into in a parking lot , where we were almost ran over. Not to mention this person hit another car after ours. Don’t wAnt to discriminate, but she was upper 80s year old. Then being the car in front of a 3 car accident. Then a cellphone talker rammed into her at a stop light. To top things off they reported one as a pip and monopolies us from getting coverage from any other insurance company. It shows up as at fault with the PIP Then you get your rates raised by $1,700 and a smart as supervisor named Doug that tells me we are so lucky that they still insure us. REALLY!!!!
My daughters and I were rear ended back in Feb of 2017. My youngest daughter suffered a concussion from the accident. Geico made an offer for the injury 7 days after the accident with no paper work nor any other information. I told them I would not accept that offer at this time, there may be more medical attention needed possibly so lets see how she heals. My daughter has healed up and is okay. It has been almost 5 months of Geico giving me the run around and refusing to honor the offer they made. I have written Geico 8 TIMES over these last months stating that I would accept the offer they made. They recorded the phone call making the offer back when it happened yet they claim they need more information, this paper/form to fill out or that form to fill out and keep passing my claim around to numerous reps. None of which will process the claim, pay what they offered and close this claim out. I have stated in writing repeatedly that I must be contacted through email or written form which the Geico reps continue to refuse to do. Geico is the worst and has been nothing short of a nightmare. I will not even go into the issues that went on during the processing of my car being fixed which turned into a total loss before it was all over. That’s when Geico tried to only pay half of what the car was worth. It took calling the insurance commission and the Geico corporate office. Now here I am again trying to get Geico to do what they should. I will
never use this insurance company and never recommend it to anyone.
I was recently hit in the left rear of my vehicle while entering the freeway. The Geico claims said that I was merging when as per pictures and skid marks, there is no way I could have been merging. I was hit in the back left as a car tried to come around me on the left shoulder. They were not in the lane as they tried to go around me. They then lied and said I was going around them…..yet I was in the lane perfectly square. I took photos of the scene, had a private investigator and lawyer inspect the scene and they could not figure out how this was my fault especially when I was accelerating to get on the highway. I have requested to speak to a manager, however after 7 attempts, I have yet to be contacted.
On 8-4-17 My vehicle was backed into while parked by a gieco insured driver. I filed a claim with gieco and it was the worst experience with a insurance company I ever had. I was told by a gieco claim rep that I had to take my vehicle to a gieco approved paint and body shop. I argued and I told the rep I thought I can take my vehicle to the paint shop of my choice? I was informed that gieco only pays out what there shop says the damage is worth. I am not a lawyer so I took gieco at there word. I went to the approved shop in ft. walton bch fl . The shops name was gerber collision. When I walked into gerber collision a lady behind the counter asked me if I had a appointment and I said yes.She asked me if my name was keen the and she also said my last name so I said yes and she said I need to fill this out and she handed me a clipboard.I asked what is this format for and she replied it is giving gerber collision permission to work on my vehicle.I said I am not filling this out because I am not giving permission for you to work on my truck. I was told to come here for a estimate from a gieco adjuster. The lady got mad and snatched the clip Board from my hand and went into the gieco claim adjuster office and told the adjuster I refused to give gerber collision permission to work on my vehicle. I automatically had red flags going up wondering how this is even legal? It was very obvious that if you give gerber collision permission to fix your vehicle them the check would be fair because they would be keeping the money in house. I filed a complaint with gieco and they refused to return my polite messages asking them to please call me back. So I filed a complaint with the state of florida.Then unfortunately I was rear ended 8-16-17 by another gieco driver only this time there was a police officer on duty who witnessed the wreck. I called gieco again only this time I got a completely different story from gieco after I told them that I had filled a complaint with florida and I was told I didn’t have to go to a gieco approved shop at all infact I was told that the other gieco rep was wrong for telling me I had to take my truck to one of there repair shops and this time the adjuster came to my work and I was treated fair. I see if you don’t file a complaint against gieco if you feel there being crooked then they will lie to you. They say there phone are recording you when you call so they can check all my calls and emails which none have been returned.The state of Florida needs to get tuff with these insurance companies because there over stepping the law and lying to people. I told my gieco rep that I was getting a sign made that’s says if you have gieco please don’t hit me. Everyone who feels like gieco has screwed them should have one made at a sign shop and put it on your car. Maybe the insurance companies will start following the rules when they see there not so popular. Where is the insurance commision and why aren’t they punishing these insurance company’s when there out of line. I was sent for a estimate thru gieco but instead I am met with a rep from a paint and body shop called gerber. Why did gieco give gerber paint and body my private info without my permission?? It’s my privatemail info not for everyone gieco decides to give it to. It sure looks bad that gerber paint and body just paid to put new tile in a gieco claims adjusters office while there trying to force people to give permission for repairs on the vehicle? Makes you wonder if there pulling a fast one to low ball you if you refuse them?? Why will nobody call me back with gieco?? I never imagined so many people are so disappointed in the way they are treated by gieco. Where is the state regulators who are supposed to be watchdogs for these scams??? I pay taxes and I follow the law so why isn’t gieco required to?
They took money out of my account when there was no payment due. When I called. They said they couldn’t refund it. They had several excuses. One was it was a late payment. I proved wrong. Two was I had made it manuel. I proved wrong. Three was it was supposed to be automatic taken out that day. Wrong again.
This is the worst company i have ever worked with, if you ever have a claim, good luck they spend a lot of money trying to screw you over, I cant believe a company can do what they do and treat people the way they do and still be in business.
this is the most unprofessional company I know, Spoke with Emily Ard #157321, spoke to me like I was garbage, I asked her for her bosses information she said it was Kim Renfrew, but refused to give me her phone and then hung up on me.
I have been calling for the last week and a half to get my claim taken care of . I have a rental car because Geico told me to get my car fixed from the hail damage here in Colorado. No Geico has totaled my car and I can’t seem to get anyone to call me back so we can settle this claim. I am getting the run around from the claims department and I need to get the check from Geico so I can replace my car. I work every day and I don’t have time to be calling. Geico should be performing better than this, by returning my calls. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THIS COMPANY IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I called and asked to speak to a Supervisor and was told there wasn’t one there and when I called them on that and said there are always supervisors around, the guy found one, but the Supervisor gave him a message for me instead of coming to the phone and talking to me. I WANT SOME ANSWERS. I need to replace me car this week so I don’t have to pay for a rental car on top of having to get another car payment.
I am a senior who only gets S.S, who had a tree fall on my car and did not have the 250 deductible. I called Geico asking if they could work with me on it. A lady I spoke to said she would speak to her supervisor. She came back and said, if I take it to a Geico repair location, they could do the estimate and include the 250 deductible in the price of the repair. I had the estimate done. Note that there was a small amt. of damage to the roof also, but after I heard how much it would cost just for the roof section, I told them I would live with those few dents, and to just do the remaining damaged areas because I felt it was not worth the cost for Geico and the work from the repair place. My point being that I was trying to be gracious to both parties. But when I went to get the car, they said I had to pay the 250. I called Geico and told them what happened and they said they had no record of any lady rep telling me that the 250 would be included in the repair bill. They gave me the # for the head of claims who said that what she offered was insurance fraud and Geico would not help me. I had to sell stuff to get the money. Now I don’t have the money for my premium. My insurance will be cancelled since the premium money went to my deductible. I was lied to and I am seeking another insurance company. How do you allow reps to lie to customers and then cause them to have their ins. cancelled? Why would I want to stay with Geico? Why would I not post this for the world to see?
Geico is a joke! Have used this company for 15 years and filed a claim now after a month without a car the claims manager said they will not pay the claim as we hit a curb. I called the human resource office and they refused to allow me to talk to the CEO’s office. The woman in HR was rude when I asked to speak to someone she said you are talking to someone, again I asked for the CEO office she refused and got snippy with me. These people are rude and hateful and refuse to do their job by passing the buck to someone else. I am done with this company ripping me off not only through auto but home insurance as well. Bye, Bye Geico!!

Hi,
Did they ever get in contact with you?
Talked to both Lauren and Steven from Geico today. They both sang the same old Geici tune. No conclusive evidence Rush Hathi from Waco TX hit the awning of our 2018 Avalanche on 5/28 when he was pulling into site 14 at Newton KOA campground in Iowa. We live in IL. Since the honest Mr and Mrs Hathi believe they didn’t hit us because they apparently didn’t hear or feel their trailor hit the awning…and despite the black awning motor having the chaulky white color of their trailor on our awning motor, plus my husband saw it with his eyes, and I heard the collision fron inside, looking ouy just in time to see the Hathi trailor end roll by…there is not one conclusive piece of evidence. We believe the Hathi’s were not aware of the accident, but do they and Geico truly believe we took the brand new 5th wheel which we had delivered to us on May 3, somehow did $1000.00 damage to the awning, took it to Iowa, put it on site 1 for nearly 48 hours, and waited for the Hathi”s to get there and then claim they hit our new pride and joy. Yep, me, a nurse, who cares about people, and just last week returned a check for $213.00 to my car warranty company because that money did not belong to me, yep, came up with this ingenious idea how to swindle $1000.00 out of Geico and the Hathi’s. Hey…at least we are sleepin good tonight. Share this story if you believe me. Contact me for photos.
I worked for GEICO for a long time, I can promise all of you that are insured with GEICO that they know exactly what they are doing when it comes to the complaints you are referring to.
They deny claims, they know they should pay to wear you out.
They overcharge you and pretend it is a computer glitch.
When you have a legitimate complaint they will pass you along from dept to dept until you are worn out.
Your only help is someone who cares to answer the phone, and they will probably get fired for trying to help you.
My wreck was one week ago. Although the Geico insured was clearly at fault, Geico refuses to accept liability until they talk to the 3rd person involved in the accident. It is understandable that Geico needs this person’s statement. What’s not acceptable is that I was promised that if my claims consultant Abigail doesn’t talk to the 3rd person by end of business on 6/9/17, that a decision would be made. Abigail has now made that promise for end of business day today. I can not go a week without my car. This cannot happen every day. I do not want to risk increasing my premium by filing a claim with my own insurance company. We need to get the ball rolling. I’m trying not to contact the BBB. All I want is a rental car. Please contact me at the email provided or on my cell.
SAME HERE – OMG, they are telling me the same thing. I sent pictures and more, they still are telling me they have to wait for their insured. I’m pissed.
Be advised I am extremely disappointed by CNN lack of Journalistic professionalism. I take offense to not one but two comments by two separate individuals. The first comment by some moron who called President Trump a piece of S—t. And the 2nd comment by a clown who preferred to “our esteemed” President as a disgrace to mankind. It is ridiculous for CNN to claim these two individual are on the air with their own shows but are not employees.
Finally, America just spent 8 years under the boot of an anti-sematic bigot. Barry used the IRS against his political enemies, he incite “black Lives matter” to murder white police officers and burn 3 or 4 cities. He collaborated with Iran and gave the leading sponsor of terror a path to nuclear weapons coupled with a $150B bonus. In addition he damaged our national security by allowing Hillary Clinton to operate her own private server to conduct Official State Department business.
I shall demand sponsors (GEICO) cut ties with CNN and Direct TV drop your network.
Thank you.

My son is in the marine corp. he had problems with his last couple of payments going thru so he had to pay them manually. But they were paid. This last payment didn’t go thru but he was out in the field and didn’t have communications so they cancelled his policy. We both talk to Geico but the only way they would give him back his policy was 600.00. He is a marine that makes very little money how can he pay 6 months insurance at once. I explained that he was out in the field preparing to go to Iraq to defend his country couldn’t they cut him a little slack and she didn’t care. They are suppose to be a supporter of the military. But they don’t care. I will be taking this case to social media and the marine parent groups I belong too because I believe every one should know Geico doesn’t care about their military customers.
I phoned to get some information about an increase in my monthly payment and to insure I was being considered for any/ all discounts I was eligible to receive. I wanted to update mu information; indicated I may be driving LESS next month because my work options may be changing. The rep proceeded to tell me my new rates for the next six months – my rates went up. I asked why?! He indicated that I said my driving habits might change and he entered it and he can’t change it. WOW! Time for me to shop for a new company!
I have been with Geico for 4 years now. I just recently got into a car accident. I was not at fault. My car was totaled I had a rental then had to return it because the adjuster was done appraising my car. Now I can’t get to my appointments and Geico has done nothing with the person who was at fault. I was injured seeking medical treatment weekly. They cut me a check and they don’t even have time to discuss it they just cut you a check. Im in my third week and nothing has been done. This is very poor Business practices.
The way my claim is being handled is ridiculous. You provide an adjuster that goes straight out of town who tells me to call someone else who doesn’t answer and doesn’t ever call back. So is it really my fault it took 11 days to start the process… defiantly not. Then the body shop called 2 days ago for someone to go look at the car so we can move forward however no-one has yet to go review the car so i can get it back but you have the audacity to tell me the rental car is due back because the days are maxed out… not my problem… do your job that I’m paying you to do and the car might be done. Then you tell me i had coverage thru the 28th to find out you didn’t add in the taxes so really the rental is due tomorrow WHICH MEANS i have to pay out of pocket or walk…will have a new insurance provider ASAP!!!! CORPORATE NEEDS TO PLEASE CONTACT ME.
Very cery dissatisfied
I was on the freeway when something fell off the back of a commercial vehicle and struck my vehicle. My car had been sitting at the shop for over 30 days because my adjuster went on vacation two weeks in a row. I called supervisors and the area manager that’s when I received a call from the adjuster. He finally went out check my car not to mention I had to pay for a rental being that my 30 days was up. After he visited the shop he gave me a call stating that my car was a total loss. A week following that call he called me again stating that my car was untotalled now. Never heard this a day in my life I don’t feel comfortable getting back in a car with my children that might possibly be unsafe. Geico is the worst and once I receive a call from Kyle Stormer or someone from corporate office and get this taken care I will be taking my business elsewhere.
5 months have passed now after my car was totaled in a accident.Girl high on drugs passed out at wheel hit myself and 3 other cars.after given a number for totaled car received a call back waiting on other ins company to send in there claims before deciding new amount can pay me because all 4 need to be settledand I will only get a share of it.after repeated calls and emails I believe I am on ignore list as I cant get reply or return calls. first claim in 13 yrs of having geico.i will definatly be looking for new company.i would squish the little geico lizard if I could find him .
Geico is the WORST!! they accuse me of fraudu lent activity when they are the frauds! No one answers any questions and blames another department. No on takes accountibility for anything, so nothing get solved. This insurance conpany is ridiculous and they just steal your money! Stay Away!!!
I mailed my check on the 31th, Geico cashed the check but cancelled my policy, called to find out why, they said they didn’t receive the payment until the 6th, we asked them when was the letter postmarked, they said, we don’t know but your policy was cancelled as of the first of the month, we applied your payment to what was owed and we’re refunding the rest. We asked how can we reinstate the policy, they said we have to start a new policy and make a down payment, Geico sucks Bigtime after advertising that they have outstanding service, that they are the right choice for me because they will go the extra mile to help us save money Thanks Mr Nicely now I have no car insurance because of your failed policies and most unhelpful employees
I too am a victim of Geico. Last month I paid my insurance as usual but there was a problem IN THEIR SYSTEM where it ran the wrong account or something else. This is after over TEN YEARS OF TAKING PAYMENT FROM SAME ACCOUNT! They cannot be bothered to call/email to notify me of the problem. Instead they send a nasty email stating they are cancelling me unless I pay them the full six (6) months premium to re-instate my policy!! It was THEIR ERROR but I am the one to pay for it!! This company sucks and all they want is money. When something bad happens they suddenly don’t know what to do, who you are or where to send you. I live in Pomona valley. When I had an accident the representative who was referring me to auto body shops kept telling me to go to Los Angeles. FROM POMONA!?? I attempted to get him to give me a more local shop but he didn’t know how to adjust the zip code or something and was absolutely NO HELP WHATSOEVER! Had to find my own body shop which turned out to be a major mistake because they did a XXXXX job. I mean, how do you forget to put the screws back in the rear door to hold the window machinery in place??
THis company is XXXXX. I highly recommend that no one ever entrust any part of their livelihood nor their possessions to them.
I would like to add I have went through Cancer twice and it has disabled me were I can no longer work in the Nursing fails anylonger . iam on Sochial Security Disability on a fixed income . So having to pay for a misteak that Geicos customer service rep made . I’m paying for her mistake . when you call Geico they state your call is recorded so I told the so called man playing manager I said listen to the recorded call from when I called and talked to the rep . go figure were sorry Mr. Flynn that call wasn’t recorded how convinant for them . I know darn well that it was recorded and he listened to the call and new that they were at fault . by lying to me and telling me that for some reason the call was not recorded that way they would not have to reimburse me the $200.00 in check fees as well as keep my premium at $126.08 . by lying and telling me that it didn’t get recorded they can make more money off me by ripping me off and by lying to me they get out of being accountable to reimburse me and keep my premium at my low amount . this way they get by with it . PLEASE LET’S STAND TOGETHER AGAINST GEICO AND START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND HOLD TGEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THER ACTIONS . WHAT THER DOING IS FRAUD .

WOW I knew they were doing this to other people as well. In May 2016 someone hit our car on the freeway and kept going. We call GEICO and was told they will cover it but our deductible was $1,000. So my husband and I questioned why our deductible was so high that we have been with their insurance company for many years that it has always been $500 deductible the stated it changed in FEB 2016 when our policy automatically renewed. We asked why we was not notified about this changed. We immediately requested that our deductible be changed back to $500 and add uninsured motorists. The customer service rep agreed with my husband and told him they were making the change. Fast forward to JULY 2016.Two cars and myself was involved in a incident where a meld pipe of some sort was in the middle of the highway and was unavoidable so we all tried avoiding it but still hit it. The item put all my tires on flat except one and messed the side of the bumper a few thing underneath. So we call GEICO and report the incident and was told that we had another $1,000 deductible so we questioned HOW IS THE POSSIBLE WHEN WE JUST CHANGED THIS IN MAY INCLUDING ADDING THE UNINSURED MOTORIST. The customer rep stated that she see the uninsured motorist added but see NO CHANGE TO THE DEDUCTIBLE. So I requested to speak to a manager who stated the same thing I then told him to pull the RECORDED call and he told me the same LIE that they are unable to pull calls and the call was not recorded. I think asked him well how will your company fix this mistake your rep made because we know we requested the change because we was upset the last time we was surprised with the information. He said he would refer my claim to an underwriter who would look into this claim and make a decision so I asked why can’t I speak to that person who can make that decision because I don’t trust the outcome? He said oh she will be fair. So I call in Tuesday to check on the outcome and was told is was DENIED because they have no proof we requested the change. I explained to them how will you have proof it the customer service rep didn’t do their job by changing it and doXXXXenting the call. I then referred to the recorded call and asked how will a customer prove that they told that rep to change something if your company stating they can’t pull a recorded call. so the customer loses on both end. Because the customer service rep didn’t properly do their job and a incident happened so your company don’t want to honor they change so we have to find $1,000.00 to fix our car. I sad and painful that you entrust that they insurance company you choose to protect you if any incident or accident occur will have your back but instead the more focus on taking money from you and not investigating or being truthful when their employee have made a mistake or didn’t properly do their job. They want to cover it up so the customer pays more and try to save themselves money.

Hello Troy,
I am sorry you experienced the traumatic events with Geico agents. I am so emotionally distressed from a similar experience with Geico in which $1195.02 was fraudently deducted from my debit Master Card when I specifically requested that an amount of $317.16 be processed for a past due balance. I was reinstating my policy and confirmed the new quote and down payment required of $127.72 to start policy on 9/29/17. I too was informed by a supervisor that the transaction was not recorded because transactions are recorded randomly. Although I had requested an email receipt for the payment it was denied by the payment representative
and I did not know the incorrect amount was charged to my card until after the transation. I asked the Geico supervisors to credit the amount the $1195.02 back to my card but was told had to deal with my bank to get money. I now have a pending resolution dispute filed with my debit card devices. However, like u I need these funds now for medical needs and urgent living expenses. Please let me know what I can do to help. I will also try to get assistance from the President of Geico, Bill Roberts.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Webster
To: Mr. Bill Roberts, CEO
This is to request your assistance to expedite actions for me to be refunded the amount of $1195.02 which was improperly deducted from my debit Master Card. I only
Authorized $371.16. (corrected) from initial reply. I have made several request to your service managers to credit my funds but was referred to contact my bank. My card services had requested Geico not to process the transaction on 9/28/17 when it was pending on my account, however, I was informed Geico proceeded to complete transaction. I am experiencing emotional distress due to the fradulent act because I need funds for medical needs and urgent living expenses. I would greatly appreciate your intervention to resolve this matter.
Sincerely,
Sylvia Webster

I have been insured with Gieco for over 4 years . my payment has always been taking out of my checking account every month never missed or was late on any payments . my Mother suffers a bad stroke than 5 weeks afterward has a Gran Maul Seizure and went into cardiac arrest . she survived Thanks to my Heavenly Father . I love about an hour West of my parents and was spending around $500.00 a month in gas . my insurance payment was due to come out the next day so I called Geico and told her that I would be late on my payment to make sure they don’t take my payment out of my checking account that I would have checks bouncing . she assured me several times don’t worry Mr. Flynn we will not take any payments out of your account was told everthing was fine . to make sure in mail in my payment as soon as possible . So I go to use my card and was declinded . Geico took the money out of my account anyway . Geico cost me over $200.00 in check fees . So I called my bank and put a drop payment on the check than 2 days later within the grace period I was giving called to make my payment he than said we canceled your policy .without even a letter to tell me . So my payment for both vehicles came to $126.09 per month and because of that customer service being the one that misinformed me and gave me the wrong info they raisers my rates to $349.83 a month. I was told after the fact she gave me the wrong info that it takes 5 days to stop a payment .I said that’s not my problem not my fault I said you record the calls listen to it you will hearvim right she lied to me . So after over 4 years of being with them and I did nothing wrong they that employee made the mistake . I have to pay for it . I had to pay over $ 200.00 in check fees because of her as well as instead of paying $126.08 I now have to pay $349.83 a month for insurance because of her that mistake .

I have been with Geico so long…can’t remember how many years at least 10. After having surgery in 2012. I have not been able to work 2 jobs. And as a Miami Dade Schools teacher……you know I need that 2nd job. I use to love Geico, but; lately I haven’t been to happy. I struggle to pay bills in one payment and every other teachers sponsored program does 2 payments per month. Then, Geico would not wait until after court when I could prove not at fault in 2 accidents…paid them anyway. Now, your automatic payment system would not update my new bank information after changing it 3 times and Geico refuse to refund overdraft fees or deduct from policy and threatens to cancel my policy on August 11, 2016. For what reason? I guess you don’t have to supply a reason for cancellation. What happen to Geico?
I was a victim of a bait and switch tactic at geico.com yesterday. My money was not returned to me yesterday as i requested. Full details of this fiasco i have given to numerous geico reps since i was victimized. I will not cease and desist my efforts t o get my story out until i see the $247 gas been returned to my debit card account. I NEVER authorized this insurance purchase at $247 per month….i accepted a quote of $110 per month…u cannot believe this is how your company does businessm my next action will be a telegram to the CEO’s office about this. I can be reached at 508 369-XXXXX.

Geico is the worse when ot comes to settling claims. They pull all kinds of insurance tactics so they wont have to pay your claim even when there insure is at fault. They will investigate you but it was there insure who was texting and driving and slammed into my vehicle from behind. They want premiums every month but dont wanna pay out when there insure is wrong. All i wanted is a fair settlememt. My medicals come to 3200.00 and they have only offered me 1030.00. What type of foolishness is this.
Office of President and whom this concerns,
I am proud to say that ever since I began as a customer of Geico I never had to worry about issues of any kind. I personally believed Geico is the best insurance provider. That is proven completely wrong with my horrendous horror story of a claim (claim number: 051704842-0101-037) starting May 31, 2016. I write to you for help as all representatives refer me to the claims adjuster and their supervisor in which I cannot get a response from. At this point I am still needing a write-off amount to payoff my totaled vehicle and direct payment of rental costs until I purchase a replacement vehicle.
May 31st, 2016 I was unfortunately part of a 3 car collision and not at fault. The at fault persons insurance company took more than 48 hours to get approval for a rental. My car was towed to a collision center meaning I was car-less. I then was advised to go through my insurance to avoid further delay.
Ryan Church’s first estimate of damages was between $4,500- $4,900 on June 2nd. The estimate of damages turned into $10,342.76 on June 16th as told by the collision center. Church contacted me on June 15th that he would extend the rental until the 22nd of June as a second estimate of repairs will be done at that time. He said, “If my vehicle is not being worked on the rental could possibly be my responsibility.” From within the first 2 weeks of incident the Nalley collision center manager, Steve, stated that my vehicle is not safe to drive and would cost too much to fix. The assigned adjuster, Ryan Church, unprofessionally argued with Steve in a back and forth match that it can be repaired by utilizing profanity and raising his voice all while standing in front of me on June 29th. The final estimate of repairs totals $13,175.05 by Nalley collision and $8,322.51 repairs with a settlement of $15,381.82 by Church.
Later that day, Church then admitted that the vehicle is a total loss as of June 29th as it would be too much to fix. He refused to extend the rental and states I am responsible for the rental starting from June 22nd; Although, the vehicle was not deemed as totaled until the 29th of June and I have yet to receive payoff of my old vehicle to buy a new one.
Geico customer care agent, Charlene Boston, advised me July 6th to speak with Ryan’s manager, Jackie Hudson, to get the rental car extended since it made no sense that my car was not deemed a loss within the first two weeks as the collision center originally suggested to Ryan. I attempted to call Jackie Hudson with left voicemail messages as well as Charlene calling three times. She has yet to respond to either caller. I’m totally in disbelief that my insurance company treats me like this on my first claim or any claim.
I need help especially with the rental car being extended and to receive the payoff amount for my old vehicle so I no longer have to rent a vehicle. I never knew that I would undergo this much trouble going through Geico for a claim that I am not at fault for; I would have never chosen GEICO had I known this before. Church keeps stating its up to the collision center to pick up the rental bill. At this point there has been an extreme delay and complete lack of professionalism in the handling of my claim. Please help as this has gone on long enough.
Frustratingly,
Lyndon Boyd
Geico cancelled my policy. But i never got a letter or phone called that my policy was cancelled. Now my car got stolen but they tell me ur policy is cancelled sorry cant help u. Maybe da mailman lost ur letter. We cant help u.
I have had Geico on and off for over 17 years. I have encouraged others to buy Geico but never again. I called tonight knowing I wouldn’t have money in my account for payment and the lady said “it’s to late we need 3 days notice to stop payment” I realize now you people look at your customers as just a number. I’m a single dad of two and struggle as it is. . I will not be renewing my policy. I’m sorry it took this long for me to realize how terrible your customer service really is.
I had the same issues. An accident over a year ago. Not my fault and damages over $5,000.00. If you are doing a group lawsuit, count me in. I have contacted GEICO many times. Tons of name calling and bullXXXXX!
I was told I had 9 days after the date my payment was do before policy would cancel according to a GEICO customer service person. I called today policy still should have been good for 5 more days and they tell me its canceled sorry you received the wrong infomation from one of our agents. Then tells me I’ll give you a ext till the 5th. I said so I have car insurance then till the 5th? She said no its cancel so what is the point of the f-ing ext then if you canceled the policy already what a joke.
Shame on you Geico – that is all I have to say – I now have the Dept of Banking and Insurance involved. Not even worth getting into on here . . . just was curious to see what others had to say . . . you should be ashamed of yourself – all of you – esp the executive office personnel . .
I went to pick up my car from Desoto Collision center..440 union ave. Memphis Tn..on 10 13 25 n it was in terrible shape..I have talked with Mr. Mike Dewoff n was not satisfied at all ..I need help in getting my car repaired..My claim no. Is 0336453320101014.I await yor reply
Don’t hold your breath
I have 3 claims with them, 1 from jan. 2015, a guy ran a red light and almost killed my granddaughter… 1 was stolen in sept 2015 but paid for & 1 was a fender bender in 2016…one is over a year old….i know that sounds like a lot, but I’ve had insurance since i was 17, i’m 56….those are the only one’s i’ve had…you know what they say…how things come in 3’s….but if you pull up my report on geico.com it shows 7, they are still trying to figure out why they are there, only 1 of them so far have they said “o that one was a mistake, it was somebody else’s, it was put on mine by mistake” but its still fing there….one of the claims was for theft of my car, while it was stolen they show it was involved in an accident, but don’t know who reported the accident and they never paid anything out. They want to TOTAL every car that is in an accident and leave you with nothing to drive and NO MONEY to buy one with. After the car was stolen i put full coverage on it, paid for it for 6 months, when i found it, it was pretty beat up, they gave me 1,000$ but the 2 estimates i got was 3200$ & 3400$ WTH, then i had 1 of the claims guy tell me “YOUR LUCKY YOU GOT THAT, BECAUSE SINCE IT WASN’T IN YOUR POSSESSION WE DON’T HAVE TO PAY YOU ANYTHING” ARE YOU KIDDING ME! They knew that when i put the coverage on it that it was stolen! AND then I had one of the “claims MANAGERS” call me a STUPID XXXXXX…..she thought she put me on hold, but she DIDN’T! My granddaughter was borrowing one of my cars, she got into a fender bender,they gave her a rental car, and NOW THEY WANT TO TOTAL THAT ONE OUT instead of having it fixed. They said if they had it fixed i would get less than 1/2 of what i paid for it – the deductible – the pay off – what THEY would have gotten by selling it to a salvage yard…. She has had to quit school because where she worked, you can’t use a rental car….she worked for papa johns while helping put herself thru school, she only had 6 weeks left, but now she has to quit school and get another job to pay her rent. Geico has had me very close to jumping OFF a bridge…my doctor wanted to put me in the hospital because he said i was having a nervous breakdown, instead i talked him into anxiety meds…just today i kid you not i tried calling some of the claims people, managers & supervisors and the first 13 people i got their voice mail, they also failed to tell me that it was 1000$ deductible for everything, your car, their car, their hospital bill, your hospital bill, they just told me it was a 1000$ deductible….They told me they pay 80% i pay 20%……what they DIDN’T TELL ME was they PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT PART OF THE HOSPITAL BILL THEY WANNA PAY.
Just say NO to Geico!!!! I’M DONE…ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ? TIME FOR AN ANXIETY PILL……… good luck everybody.
Geico where is your integrity ?!?! I was miss lead by your agent, giving false information that will cost me 3x more the amount of my monthly ” quoted” amount. All GEICO can say is we are sorry , oh you are sorry?!? How about you train your agents better so that your customers can have PEACE OF MIND like you advertise. And when you ask for a manager everyone is in a meeting, someone will get back to you! All I want is the corporate # so that I may be better helped. I WONT HOLD MY BREATH FOR A CALL OR A RESPONSE TO THIS BAD REVIEW !! Geico your cutomer service lacks integrity and support
I was very mislead also, and you right about everybody being in a meeting but honestly the managers are no more help, nor are the supervisors . There is a corporate # i called it and ask to speak to the CEO they assured me they would send him an email….i said yeah right, i told her i would have a better chance to talk to the GD lizard …… i mean really geico, we will only put up with so much…..it’s looking more and more like a civil suit to me, if i live through it….good luck

That number goes straight to customer service.
I was involved in a car accident on May 9, 2015. The party that rear-ended my car and pushed my vehicle to hit the car in front was found to be at fault and their insurance company Progressive assured me that the repairs would be covered. To date over $5,000 of damages have been repaired. Well, it has now been almost three months and my car is still at my dealer’s collision department with an ABS problem making the car unsafe to drive. Geico notified me that since Progressive was paying for the repairs that Geico could not get involved with the repairs even if Progressive has deemed the ABS fault light going off on the control panel not related to the accident. I informed Geico that my insurance provider is not Progressive rather Geico. I was not a fault and my car is now not safe to drive. Geico has been receiving my premiums and now they are asking me to go to another insurance provider to get my ABS problem rectified and paid for. Please help as I can not make any sense out of this dilemma. First Time Accident & Loyal to Geico since 2002! Walter
I just had an accident that wasn’t my fault, I’ve been a paying customer for over 16 years. They refuse to pay me loss wages. Geico sucks!
Where did comment number 6 go to ?
Mr. Nicely it’s been 5 months and no reply . Wealth you may have , honor and integrity in my opinion you surely lack.
Beware , don’t be misled by a low quote only later to find out what a misleading fraudulent company Geico is. Check out consumer affairs.com Geico. Thousands of Americans have paid premiums only to find how poorly they actually service their customers. Remember 15 minutes will cost your family plenty.
MAYBE WE SHOULD DO A GROUP LAW SUIT………HUH
GEICO SUCKS
I have been with GEICO for almost 8 years , on June 4th 2015 I received a call from one GEICO’s competitors offering me a better deal, they took all the information and they provided a Better rate, When they asked for my Driving record I told them that I never had any accidents. they checked and they said that GEICO had an accident under my Driver liscence on sep 2010. which I NEVER HAD . I called GEICO and they were not able to prove that I had an accident under my drivers liscence, I asked for a Police report and they were not able to produce one. and I found out that for the last 5 years they have been overcharging me for that accident that I was never involved. after about 20 calls I decided to closed my account with GEICO and they told me that I would receive a refund of $165.00 in the next couple of days, after two weeks , June 16th I called to find out the status of the Refund and they told me that I was supposed to get a credit into my account since I had direct debit. a day later still no money. I called again and Now they tell me that a check will be mailed but instead of $165 it will be $145, when I asked for a reason of the difference , they could not explained it. I wrote corporate hoping that something will get resolved. But as of Now I will make sure everyone I know NOT to Buy any of their products.
Carlos – they were doing the exact same thing to me also. I now have counsel and for some reason the woman – Barbara in the executive office is not returning my calls. shame on them . . . I questioned them every renewal and asked to speak to underwriting – they would never let me. I would never recommend them to anyone . . .
A CLAIMS MANAGER CALLED ME A STUPID B*TCH……LOL
WOW THEY CALLED YOU A STUPID XXXXXX……
Good Day Mr Bill Roberts Geico COO Geico overcharge me then claimed they would give me a refund for over charging me, after 30 days I have not received a refund. then they did not contact the motor vehicle after I informed them that I change my insurance.
I HAVE 4 ON MY GEICO RECORD THAT ARE NOT MINE, SO FAR THAT HAVE ONLY FIGURED OUT 1 OF THEM…THEIR EXCUSE “O IT WAS PUT ON YOUR BY MISTAKE, IT BELONGS TO SOME ONE ELSE” BUT AS OF TODAY IT IS STILL ON MY RECORD. SMDH
I HAD SOMEONE ASK ME ABOUT A GROUP LAWSUIT, I SAID SURE…..I’M IN.
Hi, Sherry Hinds
If there a group law suit could you please let me know by posting that information for me or you can email me that if you don’t mind…I will look for your reply when ever you get the chance…Thanks for your time..
Group law suit?
I’m very upset with this Insurance Company
My son was in a car accident on Saturday (April 18th 2015), he was in the left turning lane on a green arrow to go. Before he could proceed through the intersection, Passangers and Pedestrians started to walk across the street as the bus was letting them off. At that point my son had to stop and slow down so he wouldn’t hit them. The back of his car was in the intersection. Out of nowhere a vehicle traveling southbound ran right into the back right side door. My son vehicle is not drivable and his back right passenger side door is smashed in.The other vehicle only the bumper has minor scratches and has my son paint on it. But did I mention that the other vehicle is drivable and was in an accident already. I was told this past friday that my son was in fault due to the fact he was in the middle of the intersection waiting for the Predestrian to pass before he went. I was told by the claim department the outcome came due to the fact the other party has (2) witnesses that seen and I quote both vehicles go through the yellow light. But it’s very puzzled since he did not stay around to talk to anybody, he gave my son his information and then pulled off. But he had (2) witnesses a man and a women ( WOW..) as of today no one called any of my son’s witnesses that were in the car at the time of accident. I believe all the news stations should be aware of this, why because something is not right . Just to let everyone know I was told by the Claim representative that the other vehicles involved was racing the light Maybe this is the reason why he could not stop his vehicle when he seen my son in the middle of the intersection.
Thank you have a bless one
I have emailed Geico and still no follow up..Geico continues to push me to the side..when I am making my payments, and still waiting on them to reimburse me for a car rental that was authorized by the Geico representative that isn’t no longer there. The new representative doesn’t return my calls or even my email me.. I have been patient with them and now it must stop.
I am very Upset with Geico, My policy was due for renewal in January. I called on January the 16th and made a payment, The lady I spoke with told me I would have another payment Due by February 8th for 98.00 and some change. I went to log into my account today on Feb 7th to make that payment and my account was cancelled. I called the customer service department to explain to them my payment was not due until the 8th and they advised me my policy was cancelled on Feb 2, 2014 for non payment. I am not even a full month into my 6 month policy and they cancelled it for non payment 6 days before my payment was due. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they told me they would have to give me a new quote and my policy went from 467.00 every six months to 798.00 every six months. This is not right and I can guarantee you after this I will be shopping around for new insurance. I have been with geico for about 5 YEARS NOW AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS AND THIS WAS THEIR ERROR AND I AM PAYING FOR IT!!!!!! I WILL BE SENDING A COMPLAINT TO CORPORATE! The supervisor did not even try to pull up our call from the 16th to confirm if the rep advised me my next payment would be due on the 8th and then they sent cancellation notice to my email on FEB 7th, 5 days after the fact. VERY ANGRY SOON TO BE EX GEICO CUSTOMER!!!!
I have been a Geico customer for 8 years….
I called three weeks ago and made a payment that I thought was for a month. Apparently, my policy was cancelled last week. I explained to the last operator that I would be able to pay off my 6 month balance around the first. I called this evening ready to make the payment and the operator said that my policy was cancelled and that if I wanted to start a new policy, my 6 month premium would be $50 more. He hung up on me.
I am really appalled at the lack of service that has taken place here. I have been trying to call to discuss this matter with a supervisor, but I keep getting transferred to a recording that won’t let me speak to a live representative.
Your company used to be more customer-oriented but I am getting the feeling that this is no longer the case. Please call me to discuss this matter as soon as possible, so that I may believe otherwise.
