Geico Corporation Consumer Reviews - Page 5

I know there are others out there that feel the same way I do. I have no tolerance for the so-called "cavemen" commercials. They are nonsensical unless you know of some of them living somewhere in this world. I've never seen them and it's kind of an insult to think that the ad company thinks most of us have limited intelligence and crawl on all fours. The newest ads are nonsensical also. A stack of money with eyes on top and a cell phone. Where do these ad people get their inspiration? I hope not from a drug pusher??? Let me know if there is an email where I could write directly to the ad company. Thank you.

FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA -- My car was park in front of my house and in a torrential unusual rain we had the street flooded, the car got water inside and Geico branded it TOTAL LOSS. The car has been sitting in front of the house without being able to settle the claim because Geico is doing whatever is possible to underpay me for my vehicle. They have given me the runaround, the service from the claim adjuster has been unprofessional and filled with tricks and little lies. The office of my agent told me not to call them anymore and that they did not have anything to do with Geico Insurance and they could not help me.

Questions I have about not just the status of my claim but billings, proratings, coverage, cancellation of policies, etc., etc., are the questions I have and the Geico office I did call is still open for business in Frederick not like they told me that they have nothing to do with Geico, the big lizard is right at the front door when you walk up to it. One of the executives Mike ** came to my house after calling him and before he left tried to accuse me of threatening his job and the job of the claim adjuster. His job was not threatened nor the job of the claim adjuster Debi **.

What kind of crooks do we have working for Geico? Do not get Geico Insurance, your nightmare will start when you file a claim. My claim puts me as a victim of a flood, my claim is not even a reckless driving or anything like that. It is sickening the way they play games to not be responsible.

I paid online my GEICO monthly payment. I cleaned out car and tossed the insurance slip into trash by mistake. Went online to print out another. However, could not sign in, GEICO saying my insurance had been cancelled for over a week for non-payment. Now I have been doing this for years and know I hit the pay now button and saw that I had but one payment remaining. At the beginning of my payment session I had two. Didn't matter, GEICO did not record the payment.

I was reported to DMV for having no insurance and now have to pay a penalty for no insurance of $7 per day for each car (2) for over a week. GEICO asked if I wrote down the verification number. I had not. I made the mistake of trusting GEICO's online system. I did some googling and found out this happens to a lot of people using GEICO's online system.

In the end, GEICO has no compassion. When asked what they could do, I was treated like a bum, like a person on their hook. (Much different than when they originally signed me up, when I was treated nicely.) They knew I needed to renew on the spot and so that's what I did to get to work. I am WITHOUT A DOUBT changing to another insurance company asap. I'll pay more money, I do not care. In the end what good is GEICO if you pay them and find you don't have insurance anyway? What would have happened if I had been in an accident?! Not to mention the fine from DMV. Really disgusted.

I recently purchased a newer model Jeep Grand Cherokee. Upon purchasing, the car lot stated that I needed to purchase the proper coverages in order to finance. I decided to call Geico because they were one of the only companies that I could sign up with over the phone. I purchased the full coverage premium package.

So after a $500 down payment and $231 monthly installment, I drove my new Jeep off the parking lot feeling secure. Boy was I wrong. My girlfriend drove it mostly and unfortunately is not the world's best driver. She ran a red light in Tampa, FL. crashing into a truck. The man jumped out and asked if she was OK. She reassured him that she was OK and he did the same.

After speaking to the police, he drove his damaged vehicle home. A few weeks later, we received a letter in the mail saying that we were being sued for the amount of 25k for bodily injuries sustained by the man who drove his truck away unscathed.

I called Geico to find out why I had no bodily injury liability (required by FL law). The snooty woman on the phone says, "Florida law does not require me to inform you that you are not purchasing bodily injury liability."

The lesson here is: insurance companies are out to screw you. Always ask questions and always make sure you purchase extra bodily injury coverages because unfortunately, people like this money hungry ** that sued me are out there waiting to sue you.

ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- In North Carolina they have a Contributory Negligence Law that allows Insurance company to hide behind and not pay claims. My son was killed riding his motorcycle in Asheville NC, April 22, 2008. A car pulled out in front of him for a side road. This person said when he notice the motorcycle, he attempted to back up but put it in park.

My son try to miss him but lost control. This person then put his vehicle in reverse and backed up. GEICO INSURANCE said based on the statement from their client and the report, my son was at fault. That's right GEICO sent me a letter stating that my son contributed to his death. This person was not charged with anything or even got a ticket. My son lost his life for the decision he had no control over. This person made that decision and walked away with NO justice served.

Traveled to Canada to visit. GEICO ensures me that I am covered. Woman ran through red light and smashed into me. Bad bodily injury, stuck up here in physiotherapy. OVER 3 months and GEICO has denied me, LOSS WAGES (totaling $4000), Nursing CARE (totaling $3700) and just about everything else. I am up here STARVING and they do not care. I have lost my job, I cannot work and my truck was totaled.

They treated me like a criminal even though the accident was not my fault. They sent 2 investigators from GEICO to Toronto (at a cost of $10,000 approx.) to obtain a written account of the accident despite the fact that they were provided with a full accident report from the police. The second investigator questioned my residency even though I have been living in the U.S since 1997.

They demanded income tax returns and, basically, my first born son which I provided. They still denied. Yet, they spend approx. $10,000 to deny my legitimate benefits. They are absolute sleaze bags. I am physically, emotionally and financially starving. Now, I have to take them to court (and I will win) to get this money that they owe. This will take an additional 3 months. SO, I will go 6 months without ANY INCOME while they look for any reason not to pay me.

NEW YORK -- NO ONE WANTS YOU TO KNOW WHAT I AM ABOUT TO TELL YOU! Allegations are always on the horizon when you have people of different ethnicities and social classes working in the same company. Many companies employ different strategies for dealing with allegations to avoid Civil Rights law of 1991. Simply, not having a plan to neutralize possible allegations of Title VII of the Civil Rights law can prove to be fatal.

So what is this company's plan? Bait and Switch. Turn complainant into a pariah and a scorched earth policy! What happens to the complainants? Well, we can't ask the young lady who used to work at the Geico Woodbury office that claimed discrimination because she relocated to a different state and was terminated under mysterious circumstances. What is really at work here is a way to deter complainants. Although they have an Ethics Hotline how is it effective if no reasonable employee would dare to use it?

Here we are on the official birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who gave his life for the 1964 Civil Rights law. As I reminisced on the fear that covered this man amidst numerous death threats, I can see that those who have benefited the most from his selfless death now stand with the deceivers and pretend that the Scorched Earth Policy does not exist. Shame on you! A paycheck now becomes more important than what is right.

EDISON, NEW JERSEY -- I moved from AZ to NJ, I had three months left on my AZ policy. When I moved to NJ, Geico had to rewrite my policy and told me that the money from your AZ will be credited towards your new policy. Anyway, they ended up charging me 900 dollars for 8 months where my premium is 486 for 6 months. They never admitted that they had overcharged me since they billed me twice one time in April and one time in July when they rewrote my policy.

I called 4 representative. None of them was able to figure out what's going on. Eventually they escalated me to a supervisor who really needed help with his math skills. The supervisor didn't do much for me either. My advice, don't go with Geico, when over-billing occurs, they are of no help and on top of that, they don't provide a logical explanation for the error.

SCHROON LAKE, NEW YORK -- My son was driving in Sullivan County on his way to take his real estate licensing test. He was pulled over and charged with 2 violations BA0653181 AND BA0653192. 1. Revocation of registration of license plate date 12/2006. 2. Violation of operating a vehicle without lack of insurance as of 12/-25-2006

My son is facing for the revocation of license plate violation: Mandatory surcharge of $55 dollars, Fines in the range of $ 50-$1500 dollars, additional fines of $750 if convicted, his license suspended for 1 year, a misdemeanor that will be attached to his record permanently. For the second violation of lack of insurance as of 12/25/2006, he is facing: a mandatory surcharge of $55 dollars, fines in the range of $ 50-$100, a misdemeanor that will be attached to his record permanently.

We have incurred the following costs: we have had to rent a second car at our cost, a towing charge of $95, further towing costs are still looming; because of GEICO's actions my son lost opportunity to take the licensing test. He lost the $300 fee and lost the possibility of working for a real estate company.

We would like this matter to be investigated as this since this has not been the first time GEICO has failed to comply with their obligations to report the correct information to DMV. A very similar claim was filed NY state Dept # ** by in 2005. So far GEICO has only covered the towing and 3 days of a rental, the car is still in the catskills and will need a lawyer. Still in process to GEICO.

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA -- I worked for Geico for several years and towards the end I felt I was discriminated against and left the company. I spoke to management and human resources several times and was finally offered a small amount of money after an investigation was done. I was told that the offer meant they did nothing wrong but it was offered to me. I did not accept it because I feel I am owed more than what was offered. There were a few things done during my period of employment there that I felt uneasy about.

My wife worked there as well and was told, while she was pregnant, to work through lunch and eat when she could and that the company would buy her lunch, a couple of times. She was also asked to lie to vendors to try to save the company money. It was stressful and I feel we were taken advantage of by Geico. I have contacted several attorneys but have not found the right one to help us yet.

Towards the end of my career I suffered from much stress and even had a small blood clot form on my head as well as migraine headaches. I personally feel it was attributed from the pressure from dealing with the company. I hope this email reaches the right people or enough people and some results are made.
