No, seriously. And what’s more, I don’t think I’ve ever done such an easy transaction in my life. I filled out the online quote info, because I really hate dealing with people. But, once I got the online quote, I realized that it was a big decision to make without actually speaking to someone.

I called the 800# and was immediately greeted by Bill. 1st ring answer, babyee! I gave him the online quote reference number. He accessed my information and asked if I had the VIN number for the vehicles. I’m at work, so I didn’t have them. His response? “No problem, I can pull that up right here.” POOF. Done!

Next, he asked for Mark’s driver license number. Er… I don’t have that either. His response? ” No problem, if you give me his social security number, I can pull that up right here.” POOF. Done!

Then he gave me the quote. 58% less than our current Nationwide coverage, but it was only for the state minimum. So, I asked him to check on comprehensive coverage for me. It changed my quote by a whopping $17 a month. The final quote…50% less than our current payment, for the same coverage. And that is with the discount that I get for having auto and homeowner’s insurance with Nationwide together.

So far, so good. I say, let’s do it! Bill says “You get a $3 per month discount for automatic draft from your checking account.” Deal! I know I know… Momma gets a little crazy when folks try to save me money. Then, he follows it up with… “Oh, and let me go ahead an email you your policy right now. And we’re sending a letter for you in your mailed packet to send to Nationwide. All you have to do is sign it.”

“When is the coverage effective”, I ask. Bill says “Right now”.

I love their customer service. I hear good things about their company and their customer satisfaction rating. They’re saving me $1200 a year. I give them “two thumbs WAY WAY UP” (bonus points if you can name the movie that’s from).

    I have always used Geico for my auto insurance. Good service and good business practices. (Knock on wood)

    always nice to save money isn’t it? Geico didn’t have the cheapest rates for me, but we ended up saving almost 1200 too. Isn’t it nice! thanks for the link!

  3. Parish says:

    I need to look at them…I’m none too happy with my current company

  4. Allstate is claiming that the average customer that switches to them from Geico is saving around $500 per year. Hard to believe, yet, I have gotten some high quotes from Geico on occasion.

    I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

  6. Internet is really going big and bigger. I think we have some perfect type of competition which is always a good thing for customers. Normally people don’t go for such companies but it is just our stupidity. I am glad to know your experience and I know you are driving a lot of people to them.

  7. I have read a lot of good reviews on Geico so on your blog. I am thinking to use them for my current needs and I think it will be the right decision.
