Strength:
They insured my house when no other insurance company would
Weakness:
No agent, but it really isn't a big deal. Also, for a while there my rates kept going up even though I have a spotless driving record. Seem to have leveled off. Started with GEICO in 94 because they would insure my home also even after Andrew. I recently had my Explorer stolen so I had to put in a claim. They took the information, explained the process completely and after three weeks of not finding the truck a check was in my hands. They gave me a fair value for the truck, and I am now driving a new one. No complaints and my rates did not go up. Give them a look. Similar Products Used: USAA |

Strength:
24 hr service. VERY competitive in NH. On-line operators give instant quotes for comparison shopping.
Weakness:
No personal service, so you have to take good notes. The experience of the operator can DRAMATICLY change the cost of a quote, so make sure they're reading the screen right. I've called a lot. I've got a 97 Ford F150 XLT msrp $27,000 and a 1996 Mazda 626 ES msrp $24,000 and for full coverage 100/300 and a $500 deductable my annual premium is $1411.00 (I'm also 29, my wife is 26, good drivers, yada yada) Similar Products Used: Progressive, Allstate, State Farm and a dozen local insurance providers. |

Strength:
none
Weakness:
expensive, no personal agent This company is a joke. I called for a quote, they quoted me $1300/6 months, I currently pay $700 with Allstate for full coverage. Also, the people answering phones do not have extensions, so it's impossible to talk to the same person. Similar Products Used: Allstate |

Strength:
None...period!
Weakness:
They quoted me a price on the phone... sounded good compared to others so I agreed. The paperwork came to me 1 week later. The rate WAS RAISED BY $400 DOLLARS!!!! This company is terrible. I called about that rate change. Twice. Both times the agent said, "Yeah, I see that the policy was changed, but I'm not sure why." Needless to say I went with a new company within days. One with a better reputation. Spread the word... GEICO = Bad idea!!!! Do I have to give them one star? Similar Products Used: PEMCO, State Farm |

Strength:
24 Hr staffing and the commercials
Weakness:
The remote non intrapersonal concept. You cannot see the rep you are talking to. I took a quote from these guys about a month ago just as a comparison, I am a 20 yr old driver w/ a perfect record. The quote they gave me was outregeous it was around $1080-6mo while my current rate is $640-6mo. I don't recomend Similar Products Used: MSI insurance |

Strength:
24 hour customer service I shopped around, and found their rates comparable (I'm in my 30's and have a good driving record) to other companies. Because I work pretty long hours, it's nice to have a 24 hour call center to handle changes, answer questions, etc. I don't really have any complaints about the service. |

Strength:
Great customer service and rates. I've been with Geico for over 10 years with little to complain. In the past, I had an accident and had no problems with my claim. My car was also hit while it was parked in a lot. Again, the claim was resolved expeditiously. However, this time, I had to drive the car to a satellite office for an adjuster to assess the minor damage. Thank goodness the office is only 15 minutes from my home.
