| marygraves's Full Review: GEICO Direct |
Call Geico!
I bought a used car in April of this year and was looking for auto insurance. I have seen those quirky commercials on TV so I thought I would go to their website and get a quote for my husband and myself.
You can get an online quote in about 15 minutes, and nobody will call you unless you ask them too. I found other insurance companies online that said they give you a quote, but then you have to leave your information and they call you back. I just never liked some high sales person calling me and trying to get me to get insurance through them.
I went through the online quote and could you believe it? Under $300 for 12 months! I did get a discount for having a 5 Year Good Driving Record.
You have an option to buy your auto insurance online right then and there, or you can call them directly.
They have a variety of different payment schedule's you can use:
Pay in Full
Pay Two Payments
Pay Three Payments
Pay 4 payments
Most car insurance coverage is for 6 months.
I use the pay for 4 months and then I don't have to worry about it for 2 months. I currently moved to a new state and called then to tell them. Customer Service is very prompt and courteous. They immediately changed my rates to fit where I now live. (It went down to about $150 a year, no kidding!) They also sent me new insurance cards with my new address on them very quickly.
Geico's website (http://www.geico.com) is an excellent resource for finding answers to any questions you might have about Geico. They have an extremely comprehensive FAQ on the site with just about every question you can think of.
I would never use another insurance company for my car insurance. Geico is definitely the least expensive insurance around.
My one gripe: They no longer take payment by credit card on the phone or on their website. I have no idea why they would change something like this especially when a lot of people like to call in a payment on the phone and pay by credit card.
Note: I have never had to file a claim with Geico for an accident. I do not know how fast they complete a claim or if they are hassle free when doing this.
