In the past the Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) car insurance was only available to government agents. It has now become one of the most competitive car insurance companies for the general public. GEICO car insurance is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway including Warren Buffet and Bill Gates on its board of directors. Leo Goodwin, the creator of GEICO car insurance was recognized in the International Insurance Society Hall of Fame in 2001, due to the popularity of the company.

GEICO car insurance is one of the largest companies in the United States and is one of the most popular affordable car insurance companies around. As of 2006 GEICO car insurance had provided coverage for more than 10 million motor cars, trucks and over vehicles. The company has achieved this growth with the founder’s idea in the mid 1930’s of providing lower premiums to consumers by lowering marketing costs by carefully targeting customer groups. GEICO car insurance’s CEO is now Tony Nicely and he sums up the companies way of thinking almost the same as the original idea of the 1930’s as: excellent coverage, low prices, outstanding customer service.

GEICO car insurance is considered a leader in the insurance industry and is regarded as the one to beat by many insurance companies. GEICO car insurance is available in the District of Columbia and all U.S. states except Massachusetts. GEICO car insurance is now the largest car insurer in New York, Maryland, the District of Columbia and Hawaii, and is almost at the the top in several other states.

GEICO car insurance offers extra discount when you take out a multi-car policy or have additional safety and anti-theft devices, on top of already discounted car insurance rates. The multiple policy discount is a big bonus when you consider many house-holds have more than one car.

GEICO car insurance performs outstandingly in customer services, with a 97% customer satisfaction rate. Customer service lines are open 24/7, in case you should ever require them.

Obtaining a quote online is easy and fast, simply fill in your details and you will receive your quote immediately. Customers find obtaining quotes online the most convenient as they there is no waiting on the phone to speak to a representative and can easily play around with things like the excess to see how it effects the premium. In fact, this is one way GEICO cuts your premium, by freeing up capital that would have otherwise been spent on employing insurance agents, GEICO car insurance is the nation’s largest direct writer of private car insurance.

As a GEICO car insurance policy holder you are also eligible for the GEICO Privileges program, entitling you to a variety of discounts on everything you need for your car, travel & entertainment and home and garden.

In conclusion, GEICO car insurance exceeds industry standards for budget rates and superb customer satisfaction. However, I would always recommend that you obtain car insurance quotes from at least 3 different insurers to ensure you get the best rate.
