What is wrong with owning stock and wanting said company to succeed so you make money? And don't pretend you are objective while others are not we ALL have our biases it's only a matter of admitting it or not.

Only thing I've ever heard about Geico is it's expensive and it sucks. Geico in Canada is easily one of the lowest rated insurance agencies.

They often are quite cheap here, but they also are the worst at paying claims and the quickest to drop you. I'd rather pay more for good coverage I can depend on.

They are horrible to deal with when it comes to claims, want to pay out the bare minimum, etc. Terrible.

I've had the opposite experience with Geico, they not only paid our claim right away when my wife totaled our minvan, but they paid actual market value based on what dealerships were selling for, so we got higher than KBB value. And they have always been easy to deal with in my experience

Talk to some body shops about it. I’ve come across some that actually refuse to fix cars with Geico, my cousin for instance when the body shop he wanted to use found out he had Geico they declined. My body shop fixed my car and Geico was the insured and they told me the only reason they did the job was because I was a good customer.

One of the reasons why I switched to Erie is my experience with them when my car was hit by an Erie customer, and my body shop’s relief when they saw it was Erie.

I've heard a lot of good things about Erie, but unfortunately they don't sell policies in the California market, and the next cheapest insurance is about $1700 more

$1,700 is a lot more to pay...I would probably roll the dice with Geico too for that

it varies by state as well due to regs, can't make a blanket assessment.

I have had the same experience with Geico. I've had some fairly significant claims (rear-ended a couple of times) and they were super easy to deal with. I got to pick my preferred body shop, and Geico paid quickly and without any back and forth.

Same with windshields. My Tundra eats windshields for some reason. Because of all of the sensors in it, I am only willing to go OEM branded, and they don't even question it. Super easy.

I wonder if it just varies a bit by region. For me, they've been absolutely wonderful.

Agreed. That's been my experience with them over the years, too....usually, but not always, excellent.
