When I look up an insurance company in the Yellow Pages, there are many company's ads there...

...but only if you look up "insurance". If you look up "Geico", which would be in the white pages, you shouldn't be getting ads for their competitors. I have no problem with ads being tied to a generic term like "insurance", but it bugs me to get a competitor ad when I'm searching for a specific company. With the huge amount of $$ a business owner has to spend in advertising to get that level of name recognition, it's uncool, IMO.

That's a good point too.

That being said, off subject slightly, a good friend that is involved with Geico has told me on several occasions that it's one of the better insurance companies, and they actually treat their employees very well.

I also read recently that when you call Geico, a real person answers the phone, and you don't get 15 minutes of computer generated phone menus.

That alone is enough to make me switch to Geico, which my wife already wants to do.

It sucks that both Geico and Progresseive are owned by liberals, but what can you do? Anyway, I have had Geico for five years and they are great. They answer the phone promptly, and the people that you talk to are reasonably intelligent and can solve your issues.

Recently, they settled a $20,000 claim against me and didn't even raise my rates.
