Geico Insurance Review
As far as financial strength goes, credit ratings agency AM Best rated the Geico A+ (Superior). However, there appears to be some issues with their customer service. Both the Consumer Affairs website and the BBB have negative reviews from customers who purchased Geico auto insurance. The biggest problems seemed to center around the company’s ability to communicate specific information to their clients in a timely manner.

Comparing Geico Insurance Quotes
When it comes to your monthly premiums, a single man living alone in his own apartment isn’t going to pay the same monthly premium as a soccer mom on a family policy with two SUVs. Different drivers are going to get charged different rates based on their risk profile. In the chart below, you can see how The Geico’s rates compare both among different risk pools, and among other companies.
Clearly, the chart shows that Geico is fairly competitive with other, average-priced major providers in the insurance agency. As a matter of fact, the estimated quotes in this chart are ironically more competitive among Teenage motorists than with their rates for seniors, which nearly break even with the average market rate for drivers 65+ who own their own home.
Pros and Cons of Geico Insurance
| Pro | Con |
| Useful discounts for senior citizens | About average rates for those under 65 |
| Strong financial stability | Customer service reviews suggest poor communication between The Geico and its customers |
The Geico, in partnership with the AARP, has been working hard for over 30 years to bring discounted auto insurance to senior citizens who need it. They’ve also been staying relatively competitive, price-wise, among those drivers who are not yet of retirement age. Apparently, however, their customer service has been less than optimal in recent years. At the end of the day, it’s up to you to weigh the risks and compare quote from multiple companies, The Geico included, to find the best auto insurance deal for you.
