Most complaints are resolved within 3–7 days depending on complexity.

Based on customer feedback, these are GEICO’s most frequent complaint categories:

Often resolved when additional documents (photos, estimates, police reports) are supplied.

3. Billing & Rate Increases

Common issues:

• DriveEasy telematics errors causing unfair surcharges

4. Cancellation or Non-Renewal Issues

Complaints include:

Sometimes reversed when customers provide additional proof (e.g., repairs completed).

5. Lack of Communication or Follow-Up

Customers often report they felt “left in the dark”:

• Delays in claim progress or billing corrections
  
  

Tip: Ask for a case manager if delays persist.
