Geico commercial - dog chasing cat

[happylabs]

Okay I generally dislike Geico commercials BIG time but they have a funny one on now. Dog and Cat each driving a car, dog chasing cat.

And by the way, Geico is a rip off. They quoted me a "lower" price for my car insurance. Luckily I was paying attention. It sounded lower, however, the quote was for 6 months and not a year!

Geico had in the past had some funny commercials, just like Progressive, but now they both are scraping the bottom of the barrel for new ideas. The dog and cat is cute tho.

Geico and Progressive are both ripoffs! They both operate the same way. It's "buyer beware" with both of them!

That is a great one!

Yup, I called them eyars ago and found the same thing -- a 6 month quite.

I just laughed at the guy on the phone when he gave me the quote. He was so serious even when I told him it was almost double what I was paying.

Thankfully they stopped sending me advertisements weekly via snail mail. I get so tired of junk mail!

Thats a funny ad, it is the shame that it is in the aid of a somewhat dodgy company

Cute commercial! I've had Allstate for years. Wanted to save money. Called a local insurance agent, who goes through Progressive and was not impressed. The service I get from Allstate is above and beyond. Don't know if other companies can match it.

I can't stand the guy at the beginning of this commercial, but I like the cat and dog.
As for the insurance: I've compared my rates many times with many companies, and they all do that: give the quote for 6 months. I even tried AARP, figuring they'd certainly be lower. Nope. Almost twice what I was paying. Insurance is a necessary evil, if you ask me. And as much as I love cats, I'm not buying Geico just because of the cat!

Strange. AARP only offers Hartford as a motor vehicle insurer, and their rates and/or quotes are on a 12 month basis. I saved several hundred $$$ when I went with them and even got better coverage than I had with State Farm (which was full coverage also), and I had been with State Farm for 35+ years and never had an accident or a claim.

I've had State Farm since I turned 18 and started driving. (I didn't drive before that) I had one agent from 18-26 when I moved out of the Houston area into the Phoenix area. I've had the same agent since I moved out here in January 1999 and she is fabulous!

Hubby called me in to the front room to watch this commercial yesterday. It's really cute!

I have to disagree with you all about Geico! I only pay $25.00 per month for GREAT covererage. I have been with them for years and my premiums have never increased. Once at work, my emergency break gave out and my car rolled back into another one. They had it all settled within an hour. They were prompt, easy to do business with, AND MY PREMIUM DID NOT GO UP! I'm sticking with them. They are the BEST!!! I've had State Farm and some others and they never were there when I needed them and they were way more expensive!

I agree with Kokopup about commercials not making any sense and so many of them that you have no idea what product was involved. Why do so many companies do this?? Isn't the idea to sell their products?

As for the insurance companies, all of them are out to make money (their share holders demand it). We have found that staying faithful to a company is usually the best policy. I live in Canada and I think our industry is governed differently.
