My Geico troubles started last year. My wife and I had been Geico customers for about 7 years. No claims for anything, no accidents. My wife had a speeding ticket but went through an online traffic school to remove that. One day, a guy parked his Porsche in front of our house very close to our driveway. My wife was backing out of the driveway and clipped one of his fog lamps. Replacement cost: $800. Pretty ridiculous and I'm not sure why anyone would approve that charge to replace a fog lamp. Anyway, the next thing was the call from Geico. They were adjusting our rates to three times what they had been! That was the thank you for one claim in seven years. We switched our insurance to AAA. I posted on Twitter about the experience and within 4 hours, Geico had figured out who I was and called me on the phone to discuss the matter. No change in the insurance rate, so we stayed with AAA.
