Geico

Obamacare is like the exact opposite of GEICO, instead of saving you 15% or more, it costs you 15% or more.[:D]

That, and no government employees will be insured using it.




GEICO, which you may recall, began to provide insurance directly to federal government employees and their families.[:I]

    Who comes up with the TV commercials? The chicken, ping pong guys are great. Insurance one with the Canadian geese with no phone service is great too.

    Their advertising agency. The fact that you not only watched them, but recognized the product, seems to me to indicate that GEICO's money is being well spent.

    I canned Gieco. Rates steadily going up with no explanation. Called Progressive and recieved two quotes, one for vehicles and one for the bike. Overall savings of aprox $1500 a year. Called Gieco with Progressive quote, they said they could not come close to that and I said bye bye. I'm now with Flo, and she is sexy in a wierd sorta way [:D]

    More than a little. I really think those ads with that phony are more than a little disrespectful to the real Col. Sanders.

    LOVE: Geico, Wells Fargo, Chase and Reliant Energy in that order.

    GEICO bill when my car isn't being driven IE: In the garage,, $5 bucks a month.

    Return to the U.S. reinstate with liability and off to the grocery store.

    Lucky to have GEICO when I started traveling. Staying out of the country probably saves me $50 bucks a month !!!

    HA !! Just noticed I've got accident forgiveness !!!

    Why would you insure a vehicle your not driving?

    If in your garage at home, your homeowners will cover damage when garaged.


    Good question,, sometimes wonder if I even need a car in the U.S. but,, it's cheap compared to renting a car,, even rent a wreck.

    I'm in the US for an average of 2 months a year.

    GEICO policy states:
    Comprehensive (Other Than Collision) $31.30
    Deductible: $500
    Pays for damage due to theft, flood, vandalism, explosion, and fire.

    Do not have homeowners insurance, nothing to insure doubt everything has a value of over $3,000. SUV might be worth another 3K ? 94 with 110K miles ?

    The main reason to insure/garage is to be able to call and change coverage, no new companies, less problems and it's CHEAP.

    speaking pf ADS ; have you noticed the several ads that show 2 guys and a bay or 2 women on a bed with a child >> our young people are being indoctrinated very similarly to the Interracial thing that has been pushed for 30 or 40 years and has been quite successful.

    quote:GEICO is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.

    Warren Buffett owns (ok, his company Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.) owns Geico and also a big portion of Wells Fargo Bank.

    Liked Buffett,, because he was humorous,, until he started giving opinions about Obama / Taxes.

    Some of GEICO's claims are misleading or untrue depending on what the meaning of is is.

    They claim to have been serving the public since 1936. GEICO is an acronym for Government Employee Insurance Company. In 1936 they were organized similar to USAA and only insured government employees and some military personnel.

    When the company was reorganized and started selling to the public they should have changed the claim to the date of the reorganization. It's not really the same company that was organized in 1936.

    In 1962 GEICO turned me down for insurance because I was an E-4. They told me they only insure government employees and E-5 and above military personnel. I haven't applied since 1962. Their claim that they have served the military since 1936 should be they have served E-5 and above military personnel since 1936.

    I like some of their commercials. [:D]

    I would surely throw it in Flo, and the rest of you all would too. If she's making $400,000 a year, she could for damn sure even pay for the pizza afterwards.
