I'll third or fourth that.  My family has had the same agent, Jim Podoley,
for well over twenty years, and their service and rates have always been
excellent, at least with respect to auto insurance.

Although GEICO _may_ offer you a lower rate, the politically aware might
like to know that it was GEICO that tried to deny insurance to drivers who
owned radar-detectors (until the Maryland Insurance Commission stopped
them) and among the insurance companies, it continues to be GEICO which
most strongly opposes any legislation to raise the speed limit over 55mph.
We _almost_ had 65 in rural parts of Maryland last year, passing the House
Subcommitte, and then the full House and Senate, but last minute lobbying
by GEICO persuaded Gov. Shaefer to veto the bill.  They're not going to
spend any of _my_ money on that.
