GEICO

 


1. 

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.
