From the day we first opened our doors in
1 9 3 6
, GEICO has been saving people money on car
insurance. Of course, the Gecko, hasn’t been working nearly that long, but he’s certainly been helping
establish GEICO as the nation’s fastest-growing auto insurer. He’s doing a nice job, with over three million
drivers switching to GEICO last year. Others have noticed, too. Recently, a leading insurance analyst gave
us their highest rating for financial strength. So if saving hundreds on car insurance sounds good to you,
just call, go online or stop by your local GEICO office. The Gecko will be happy to help.
