From just telling him my name he was able to pull up my information and actually told me all the vehicles on my policy, years, makes, models and VIN. He asked what I needed to do and I told him I need to remove a car from my policy. He told me he did everything I asked. He then charged my credit card $200+ and after hanging up with him I checked my card and saw the charges were not from Geico so I called another number for them and after many calls got a human on the line. The agent told me that it was indeed a scammer. She told me that their system is hacked and that there are scammers in it 24/7 and although they constantly combat this...they can never get rid of them entirely. I asked her to look closely at my policy as he made changes and asked her to make sure everything was ok. She said he (scammers ) did all the changes correctly! WHAT!! I asked could he go in and simply cancel insurance on a policyholder if he wanted and SHE SAID HE COULD! And if he did and I got into an accident.....that I would not be covered!! WHAT! This is a MAJOR PROBLEM GEICO!! This is 100% true and they can and should contact me immediately. You have my number....Im sick of trying to call you! CAL ME IMMEDIATELY! FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP!!

I guess most people only leave a review on the GEICO Yelp site when they have a bad experience. We…read morehave had GEICO for our auto, renters and Umbrella coverage for the past 12 years. Have never had an issue with claims, in fact I have always been pleasantly surprised on how efficient GEICO has been in processing and taking care of us with any claim we have submitted. Prices are fair for California and we demand good coverage. Warren Buffett owns the company so they have sufficient funds behind them. Pretty much everything is done online and at our convenience. I carry a hundred dollar comprehensive insurance deductible which if I repair 1 broken windshield it pays for itself for the next 10 years. That is a bit of information I pass on to most people is to compare rates on comprehensive insurance premiums $100 deductible vs $500 deductible. The difference is marginal and 1 claim covers the extra costs of premiums for 10 years or more. We are happy customers of GEICO and I felt it only appropriate to leave a good review amongst the several negative reviews left by people that seem to only use Yelp to bad mouth a business.

And then a week later my husband got nailed by a drunk driver and they would not cover him leaving us thousands and thousands of dollars in debt, because he had his Uber app active. No one had told us that we couldn't have the apps active we were under the impression that they had to just be in use like a passenger in our car. Also on two occasions while reporting this we caught the Geico representative in lies.

They blamed it on my husbands DL # from when he was 16 and lived in another state. This other guy never lived in THAT state. Don't trust Geico with your Insurance needs . They are HORRIBLE!

I called Geico, spoke to 9 different people. Initial representative said there was an exclusion statement I needed to sign. No problem but why wasn't it either emailed or mailed? The Geico rep stated it was, I am certain it wasn't, why wouldn't I sign and get it back??? I explained that the policy expired 10/21 and its 10/24 clearly this is a mix-up as Geico is able to view my record and see that I have never let my insurance lapse. The rep then contacts the underwriter who says no problem I'll email the form send it back and there will be no lapse of coverage. I waited an hour no email. Called Geico again and went through the entire process again to be told the same exact thing. Another hour nothing. Third call, I get transferred to an underwriter Connie who states because the policy was cancelled that I am not able to sign the form now and I would have to apply for a new policy. Really? Does this sound right? Any insurance people out there that can chime in?

I would definitely not recommend Geico to anyone seeking recommendations for auto insurance. After…read morespending an exorbitant amount of time on the phone with customer service, and being reassured by two different agents that my claim was fully covered, and the auto body shop having my husband's car for nearly a week waiting to begin the work, Geico at the very last second informed me that my claim wouldn't be covered. We've wasted so much time with the car sitting at the shop and so much time going back and forth with them on the phone, and they've been nothing short of a nightmare. I'm not sure what kind of business can get away with telling a customer TWICE that something is covered and then just randomly backing out at the last second but it's certainly not one that I'll continue giving my money to. Now I have the pleasure of spending the day searching for new auto insurance because this isn't a matter of policy, it's a matter of failing to deliver on a promise that was made by TWO different employees and a "manager" stepping in and reneging at the last second. This company is unreliable and dishonest, AT BEST.

Not only was he easy to work with, Patrick also identified a couple gaps we had in coverage and had a quote ready for us in just a few minutes. Because of the discount Allstate gives when you have multiple policies we were able to get some better coverage than we had with Liberty Mutual for a better price. Even though we use direct pay, I love that the location is on my way home and easy to get to, on the chance we have to stop by with a question or something. I'd recommend this particular Allstate in San Marcos over some of the others in the area simply due to the fast and accurate service Patrick gives!
