Their claims procedures may be fine, but there is more to selecting an 
auto insurer than that, though it is important.

GEICO takes your policy dollars and uses them against you.  With your 
money, they have:

purchased radar and laser units for police to use against you with the 
provision that the cops use them to write lots of tickets,

wined and dined numerous politicians to get radar detectors banned, to 
allow photoradar to be used, and to keep posted speed limits as low as 
they possibly can get away with.  It is through GEICO's, and GEICO's alone, 
efforts that keeps Maryland a 55 mph state.

Why do they do these dastardly things?  Because it is their effort to get 
you the most traffic violations possible even though you pose no real 
danger to other motorists and no additional risk to GEICO.  And, they get 
to surcharge you for these violations to boot.

This is why I do not like GEICO.  Their anti-driver policies are abhorrent.
