Geico Help? Why is Geico auto insurance so much cheaper than other auto insurance companies? I just got a quote from Geico for under $400 per 6 months, while the closest competitor quote $600+
no one company is the “cheapest” in every situation. If you find in your unique circumstances GEICO at $200/6 months less expensive… good on you.
However despite what your question implies… the same result does not fall on everyone.
Why? Because the Auto Insurance marketplace is extremely competitive. The free(est) market systems in the world (US and Canada) allow numerous carriers to vie for your business based on price, coverage and service.
