Hi everyone, I live in the city and don’t own a car. I’ve been paying Geico $217 every 6 months for insurance, even though I don’t have a car listed on the policy. This lets me rent cars without buying insurance from the rental company. By the end of the year, I don’t rent cars often enough to save money with Geico instead of using the rental company’s insurance. But I’m okay with possibly losing a few bucks because I feel secure having a real insurance company behind me, not just rental car insurance. It also lets me rent cars spontaneously for weekend trips when I find good deals. Before, high rental insurance costs stopped me from renting, so I appreciate the freedom and peace of mind this gives me.
I’m wondering if this policy is legitimate. If I have an accident in a rental car, will Geico cover me? I asked the agent about it, and he assured me that Geico has a product for my situation. I’ve never doubted this policy, and I can see my coverage, but I’m curious if anyone sees any problems with it. Should I cancel it? I like the peace of mind it gives me, and I usually break even each year. Plus, one big trip could make it really worthwhile.
