Re: GEICO Insurance Co.

I called GEICO 2 years ago when inquiring about a policy with them 
for my DeLorean. I ended up no going with them because of their rates 
of $2400 every six months! But at that time they had no problem with 
the car at all, and it was in their system. Sounds to me like you 
just ended up talking to yet another ignorant call center rep who'd 
rather argue with you than say "I don't know". Remember, these are 
people who's entire job is to input information and make sales. They 
are NOT experts, nor adjusters. Call back, and ask for a supervisor. 
If they REALLY push the issue again, then tell them to contact the 
DOT Archives @ George Washington University. All crashtest footage 
and analisys data for vintage cars is kept there. I don't know where 
the EPA archives are kept, but I'm sure they'll have data on the D 
there as well. Remeber, you're the consumer, so all the footwork is 
up to them. But if they give you any flack the 2nd time around when 
you call, take that as a sign that you don't want to deal with them. 
If it's this hard when simply trying to obtain coverage, imagine what 
could happen if you had to file a claim. Besides that, customer 
loyalty no longer offers any advantage to the consumer any longer. So 
you might just end up like I did when you start looking around. Not 
only better rates for you automobiles, but you home and other assests 
as well.
