Been with GEICO for 41 years. I only had 1 small claim back in 1990 I believe. Anyway, my wife backed into our gate a few months ago and put a small ding in the passenger door. I put in a claim and after my deductible, I believe GEICO paid out less than $2,000. I'm almost certain that I questioned the CS agent if this would cause my rates to rise and from my memory was assured it would not. Well low and behold, I got an e-mail from them today saying my rates were increasing 21% because of the accident. I could possibly understand if this was a large claim but to raise rates over 20% for such a small claim after 35 years of not one claim is ludicrous given the thousands and thousands I've paid them. I've been very pleased with GEICO over the years but I can say without a doubt, this isn't the same caring company that it once was. I questioning if I'm going to keep doing business with them. Corporate greed is killing America! read more
