HEED MY WARNING ABOUT GEICO AUTO INSURANCE!!!

My car was hit by a GEICO insured individual.

GEICO refused to pay for the damages to my car. GEICO did not even come out to check or inspect the damages on my vehicle. They asked a few questions and made their decision not to compensate me for damages their insured made on my vehicle. I really never thought of using GEICO, but after this incident I'm telling everyone do not use GEICO, if you have them cancel ASAP and find another company.

GEICO obviously pay too much for commercials and refuse to pay for damages made on behalf of their insured. TACKY and unprofessional company.

Monetary Loss: $1.

Location: Springfield, Virginia

I have Geico insurance and they are bad news. First they cancelled my insurance because I was hit head on by a 14 year old, being chased by the police, on the wrong side of the road in a stolen car.

Gotta love them they told me I was high risk. I was at a stop light and not even moving! That put me in the high risk catergory for years and I paid dearly. Move forward to 2013 and I end up on my husband's Geico policy.

I ran over a piece of metal in the road and my car just stopped running. Made the mistake of calling Geico to use my towing benefit. I fixed the car it was domething minor no damage to the car. Now Geico says that because I had an "accident" my rate just tripled!

I am 52, never a ticket and never an accident *except the 14 year old) and I am high risk again.

They are unbelievable and a total rip off. Never again, I am shopping elsewhere.

I had Geico insurance, but my daughter had an accident and they raised our insurance double than what is was. So I called and questioned why they also raised my insurance.

They gave me the run around and to date still have not gotten a reason why. Secondly, I went with another insurance company local and more prompt than what they are. I canceled my policy with them one week prior to renewal. I did a follow up phone call on 4/30/2013 to be reassured that policy was cancelled and no monies would be taken from our checking account.

I was told on 4/30/2013 policies were cancelled and no monies would be taken. So my new policy starts today 5/1/2013 and I have it automatically taken from our account. I review our checking account and behold they took May payment out of our account. I called immediately and asked why.

They told me that I called and called on 4/30/2013 and payment was already sent and I stated NO.... I called on 4/30/2013 to make sure that policies were cancelled and no monies would be taken out. So that was a big fat LIE..... Then I told her that the money needed to be refunded by immediately and she said it would be reviewed.

I said NO there is no policy and they do not get to review they MUST REFUND immediately. They stated it would probably take a couple of days and I said NO... I want it refunded Immediately. I have another policy payment coming out of my account and this will over draft me.

She told me that they will look into it. I told them that if I am over drafted they are going to pay my over draft fees and she stated that this was my problem and that they don't pay over draft fee. So I have contacted the Indiana Insurance commissioner and reported them. My husband is a 20 year Retired Military Vet and this was the only reason why we went with them.

they talk a big story but they can not back up the story they tell.

Just BEWARE and ask around before making a final decision. :(

I also was hit by a Geigo insured woman who rear ended me. The police were there so there was no problem with who was at fault. Geico looked at my bumper and said there would be a betterment charge since my bumper wasn't in perfect shape but it would be less than $20. I can understand that so I agreed to get the rental and have them fix the car.

I get the rental and put all my stuff in the rental. Then the auto repair shop guy says that the betterment charge now is $92 dollars. Geico says he is sorry that he made a mistake. Why don't they get the estimate 1st so you can decide if you want it repaired there 1st.

There's more. Now I have back problems. They can't understand why but I explain what I am doing and what Drs I am seeing. They send me paperwork. One afternoon I am sitting on the porch in the sun before I see the Dr. Someone comes to my gait and knocks. I ask who it is and he says he didn't think anyone would be home. I explain why I am in my patio? He told me he thought no one would be home. I do not unlock the gate. He shows me ID and his card and says he is from Geico. I said I already talked to someone and got the paperwork. He says he didn't know that and starts asking all the questions again. I back away from the gate and say I have to leave and he gives me the paperwork again?

Is Geico stalking me? I will report them to the Insurance Commission but be careful when working with them. They are not honest in any department I have worked with in the last 2 months. Their letters to me are threatening and I am the injured party.

i was hit from behind by a geico customer. That was two weeks ago.

I just got a letter saying they wont provide any coverage for the claim. there were 3 cars involved- and he caused damage to two of us. How can they just say oh, we arent paying for it. WTF?

Geico sucks. They did that "we cant get ahold of the policy holder" *** with me too. He lives right down the street from me- you want me to go "get a hold of him"???? I just hope my insurance can get the money from him or geico.

i am not rich and really need my car and my deductible back. He is an engineer and probably already bought himself a new car.

I am having to report Geico to the TN Department of Insurance! I was hit on the interstate by one of their clients.

Because the clear coat on my car scratched making it look white instead of the red color of the car that hit me, they are not paying in full. They "closed" my claim before their damage inspector even looked at my car! I sent them a copy of the police report stating there were two vehicles involved. They are going on a recorded statement from the at fault party claiming there was another vehicle.

They do not examine legal documents.

Even the inspector that works for them said the white marks are not from paint! I make sure that every one that tells me they have Geico knows of my experience.

Don't let Geico get away with this type of claims handling. We need to hold them responsible and make them pay for valid claims.

I had a situation where they strung me along for 2 months and then denied my claim because they couldn't contact the other driver. What is that? I got a company called Cerberus Subrogation Professionals to recover my claim for me. Worked well.

Didn't have to get an attorney. I would recommend them to anyone.

:( My car was totalled due to a bad hail storm. I filed my claim on the 1st and it's 3 weeks later and I still haven't reveived a check.

They didn't want to give me what my car was worth, never returned phone calls, and never went over our options as a car owner.

Now they say we are only allowed the rental car until June 30th, which by my calculations is 28 days at $26.61 a day. I am allowed up to $900 of rental car according to my policy which is only $745.

Today I will be on the phone with the better buisiness bureau.

My truck was hit by some one using Geico Insurance, they called me before I was even able to call my Insurance company took full blame for the accident and got me a tow truck. when it came time to get a rented car all the had was a Mini Van with in the price range that Geico had given me.

I drive a truck there was no way I was going to be stuck driving a mini van until my car was fixed. so I went with a car that was a few dollars over there covered price and when I got my truck back they had fixed all the damage and even some that was all ready there and when I explained about the Mini Van they covered all the extra costs.

I was very impressed with Geico and even thought about changing my insurance to them but went with esurance instead because they where a little cheaper. its easy to focus on the bad parts of a company on a web site dedicated to the bad, but make sure to look at the good as well.

Dear Friend,

I suggest you report them to CA Department of Insurance... This will be the best way to get back at them... they are thieves and they are doing this to everybody..
