Discounts & Add-Ons

The average cost of homeowner insurance in the U.S. is $1,312 per year for $250,000 in dwelling coverage, according to Bankrate’s study of annual quoted premiums. Pricing can vary greatly, depending on state requirements, the value and age of your home, and how vulnerable your area is to natural disasters or crime. Geico offers many ways to lower the cost of your homeowners insurance if you have a good credit score (in applicable states), make renovations that protect your home from natural disasters, or increase your deductible.

Geico homeowners insurance covers several types of insurance, which may include coverage for your structure, belongings, liability, and additional living expenses. If you get an insurance policy, your house can be protected for scenarios like fire, wind, hail, and in some cases, water damage. Liability coverage can pay for expenses if someone suffers an injury on your property or if a child breaks a neighbor’s window, for example. Finally, additional living expenses can help you pay for a hotel or other living arrangements if your home becomes inhabitable. To estimate your homeowners insurance, you may need to speak with a licensed agent to determine what your financial assets are and what risk you’re comfortable assuming in the event of a loss.

Geico enhances the digital customer experience for some policyholders. In fact, in J.D. Power’s 2021 Insurance Digital Experience Study, Geico earns 5 stars and is rated the top company in the industry for insurance. To get a home insurance quote from Geico, you may contact a local agent via email, phone, Twitter, or a chatbot on its website with an app on the website to begin the process.

However, Geico receives a high number of complaints from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). While the baseline average is 1.00, Geico has a complaint index of 1.35 for total complaints. Most of the complaints relate to Geico’s auto insurance sector regarding trouble with unsatisfactory and delayed settlements. Your experience may be different, depending on the policy you buy and the local office that services your policy.

You can lower the cost of your premium through various discounts offered by Geico. One great way for homeowners to save is by purchasing multiple policies with this provider, such as auto insurance. Geico offers some discounts for homeowners who reduce risks to their homes by installing security systems or fire extinguishers, but there isn’t much more outside of the basic discounts.

Methodology

We evaluated the company based on their customer rating and experience, financial stability, and coverage to determine Reviews.com score and create our Geico Homeowners Insurance Review. To compare this company with home insurance companies across the board, we calculate each Reviews.com score based on the following:

  • Customer Ratings — Customer ratings indicate satisfaction with shopping and the process of filing a claim. We reference the latest J.D. Power U.S. Home Insurance Study.
  • Coverage — As there isn’t one company to fit everyone’s needs, we evaluated companies by the amount of coverage options and add-ons available. 
  • Confidence — It is extremely important for insurance companies to fulfill customers’ claims. Companies with sound financial strength ratings indicate a positive history of being able to pay out claims. We measured this using AM Best’s ratings, which specializes in assessing the financial strength of insurance companies.
  • Customer Experience — The amount of complaints a company receives is an indicator of the overall customer experience as it expresses dissatisfaction. We base this measure on the NAIC National Complaint Index (industry average = 1.00; above 1.00 indicates more complaints than expected for the company’s market share).

Geico vs. State Farm

When we compared customer complaints for Geico versus State Farm home insurance, State Farm generally has fewer complaints than Geico at the brand level because several GEICO underwriting entities post above-average NAIC Complaint Index values in the Private Passenger Auto line (industry average = 1.00). Most of the complaints associated with the GEICO brand stem from auto, not homeowners. Another stand-out factor for State Farm is that the provider is a top-rated company in our survey for the best homeowners insurance companies

In terms of availability and coverage, both companies have broad national footprints and local agents. However, homeowners availability and discounts vary by state and, for Geico, by the underwriting partner issuing the policy.

Geico vs. Allstate

Looking at customer complaints for Geico versus Allstate, the latter markets a wider array of optional features and discounts (e.g., new-car replacement, accident forgiveness, telematics) that Geico does not always advertise for homeowners, and Allstate underwrites its own homeowners policies while Geico works with a network of partners. Both companies offer intuitive websites and apps and maintain national presence, but availability and discounts vary by state.

The Bottom Line 

Geico is a well-known, popular insurance brand that offers access to homeowners coverage through partner insurers. It may be worth getting a quote to see if it offers a competitive premium and features for the coverage you need. The provider’s leading apps, tools, and website support make it very accessible to customers. 

Although the brand is associated with more regulator complaints than the industry average in auto insurance, most aren’t related to homeowners insurance. Since Geico offers coverage nationwide through partner carriers, it could be a solid choice for homeowners who want to purchase more than one policy. Current Geico policyholders may also save by bundling their coverages.
