About GEICO
GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company) was founded in 1936 in San Antonio, Texas, originally to sell auto insurance directly to federal government employees and their families. Since 1996 it has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway and is headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland. GEICO is one of the largest auto insurers in the United States, historically built around direct-to-consumer sales by phone and online rather than local agents, backed by a fully digital policy management and claims platform. It offers auto, motorcycle, and other personal lines coverage nationwide.
