I have been insured with GEICO for about eight months, and did not
have any rate increase at the 6 month interval. I have never heard of this
being the problem with GEICO but lots of people complain that they drop
you like a hot rock if you get into an accident or get a speeding ticket.

Essentially they do what they say they do... insure good drivers.  I have
found their service to be outstanding; I recently was in an accident with
an uninsured motorist and they prepared an estimate for me as soon as I
was able to get to one of their shops.  This did not result in a rate
increase for me.
