Geico
Quoted rate on new vehicle rose at next policy period

Cars & Transport

I have been a Geico customer for 2 years and I purchased a new vehicle one month ago. When I called to inquire about quotes, they told me the rate was 659 for 6 months. Since I already had insurance with Geico, they only charged me the prorated balance for the duration of my 6 month policy.

One month passed and I just got a bill of 719 for the next 6 months of my policy even though I've only had the car on the policy for 1 month! I called and spoke with a rep who informed me that the quotes are only valid through your original policy cycle so my quote is no longer valid and I will have to pay this higher rate for my next 6 months. I spoke with a supervisor and they told me that this would be the case even if I had called ONE DAY prior to my quote running out.

Don't be DUPED! If you're considering purchasing a new vehicle, be ready for your premiums to raise at least 10% as soon as your original policy is up! Can you imagine if other companies ran their businesses this way? What if every time you bought a new cell phone they raised your monthly plan 10%? This is not a company I will stay with!
