Auto Insurance Coverage
GEICO offers customizable auto insurance with coverages across four main categories:
A. Liability Coverages
- Bodily Injury Liability: Covers injuries or death you cause to others in an accident.
- Property Damage Liability: Covers damage you cause to someone else’s property.
These are legally required in most states and help protect your assets if you’re at fault.
B. Medical Coverages
- Medical Payments (MedPay): Can pay for medical bills for you or your passengers, regardless of fault.
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP): May also cover lost wages or other related expenses.
C. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist
- Uninsured Motorist (UM): Covers injuries or damage caused by a driver with no insurance.
- Underinsured Motorist (UIM): Covers additional gap if the at-fault driver’s coverage isn’t sufficient.
D. Vehicle (Physical Damage) Coverages
- Collision: Covers damage to your vehicle from collisions, regardless of who’s at fault.
- Comprehensive: Covers non-collision damage like theft, vandalism, weather events, or hitting an animal.
E. Additional Optional Coverages
- Emergency Road Service: Assistance for flat tires, towing, dead batteries, and more.
- Rental Reimbursement: Helps pay for a rental car while yours is being repaired after a covered loss.
- Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI): Covers repair costs for new or leased cars (typically under 15 months or 15,000 miles).

Understanding GEICO Coverages & Terminology
- The term “full coverage” commonly used by customers is a myth; it’s not a single, standard policy. It usually refers to a combination of liability, collision, and comprehensive—your actual coverages should reflect your needs.
- GEICO offers tools like their Coverage Calculator to help you align coverage and deductibles with your budget and state requirements.
- Bundling policies (like auto and home) often earns discounts.
