Geico car insurance Pros & Cons

Geico car insurance FAQ

What types of car insurance coverage options does Geico car insurance offer?

Geico car insurance customers can also add the following riders or endorsements to their insurance policies:

• Accident Forgiveness: GEICO offers accident forgiveness, which excuses your first accident. This means no insurance rate increase, even if it's your fault.
• Transportation Network Company or ride-sharing coverage: Standard car insurance policies don't provide coverage the moment you log into a TNC or a ridesharing app like Uber or Lyft. This endorsement covers this gap.
• Modified Vehicle Insurance: This coverage, also known as customized parts and equipment coverage, can help repair or replace alterations and upgrades you make to your vehicle. Notice that most car insurance policies will only cover original equipment so you may want to consider this policy if you've invested a lot of money on aftermarket parts and upgrades.
• Rental Car Coverage: Rental car coverage, also known as rental car reimbursement, pays for the cost of a car rental if you can't drive your vehicle because of a covered loss, such as a car accident, theft, or vandalism.
• Non-Owner Liability Coverage: This policy is designed for people who drive a vehicle they don't own. It is also used by businesses who want to provide coverage for their employees when they use their personal vehicles for work. In some cases this endorsement will also cover rental vehicles.
• Emergency Roadside Service: Coverage varies by carrier but it typically includes jump starts for dead batteries, labor to change a flat tire, towing, and lockout services.
• Mechanical Breakdown Coverage: If your vehicle is protected by mechanical breakdown insurance the costs of repairs (not including maintenance or normal wear and tear) are covered by your policy. However, you will need to obtain authorization from your insurance company first.

What insurance discounts does Geico car insurance offer?

• Anti-Lock Brake System: ABS technology reduces uncontrolled skids and insurance premiums. Most cars have them but it's an insurance discount people often forget to ask for.
• Daytime Running Lights: This is an insurance discount you may not have heard of but it is becoming more commonplace. Daytime running lights make you more visible to drivers and pedestrians, which reduces accidents.
• Internal Safety Features: Geico car insurance offers additional savings if you have seatbelts, airbags, and similar safety features. Ask what other safety features on your car will trigger an insurance discount.
