I think her sidekick is hot. The cute random guy she picked up at the car dealership in the very first commerical who’s been her faithful and devoted companion ever since. Swoon…
My daughter has Geico.
Recently, her car broke down and she just left it in front of the house til she could pay for the tow.
I asked her why she didn’t have towing on her policy, pointing out that my State Farm policy has towing/ emergency road service on it for $2 per car per half-year, they pay “reasonable and customary” reimbursements instead of some lowball dollar maximum, and that I had yet to submit anything “unreasonable or uncustomary” to them-they’ve paid anything and everything submitted-- in full.
She said that because she didn’t have a loan and wasn’t carrying full coverage, Geico wouldn’t sell her towing. Older cars that I’ve stripped down to the minimum legally-required coverage have never been denied towing by State Farm.
“But Geico is cheaper than State Farm.” Well, duh. They can pay for wall-to-wall annoying ads and can still afford to lowball State Farm by about $50 a half-year because they’ve figured out that cars new enough to still have liens on them don’t break down as often.
Of course, being the shit that I am, I couldn’t resist a dig about how doing without a car and having to beg Mommy and Daddy to drive her everywhere was soooo worth saving 50 damn bucks.
Would Geico deny towing to someone who bought a 2007 Bentley for cash? Just wondering.
Am I the only one who thinks she’s kind of hot? For a cartoon, that is?
. . . anybody?
Rachel Ray is a cartoon now?
Hotness aside, Esurance seems to have given up any pretext of the “spy story in 30 sec” commercials and just has her doing random crap these days. What’s that all about? In one spot, she’s just watching a baseball game! And she has her on-the-spy-job pink hair instead of her off-the-job brown hair!
These are the things that keep me up at night. And make my wife question why she married me.
I thought this was hilarious even before I’d ever seen any of those stupid commercials: The Firing of Erin Esurance.
Where the fuck are Esurance ads playing? I’ve never seen a one of them.
I love Geico commercials! My current fave has a grandmotherly type reading what looks like a mother’s car ending with the 'I just saved a bunch…" Good stuff.
The ads are doubly annoying when you live in Massachusetts and **can’t even fucking get Geico insurance if you wanted it!! **
Their ad budget must be larger the GDP of many third world countries…

Can I just say I hate Charo? The scary thing is she hasn’t changed since her *Love Boat * days. And that’s just wrong.
You shut your damn mouth!
Okay, there’s one Charo fan out there… :eek:
Make that 2…and I like the Geico commercials for the most part.
I don’t mind all the ads. Just get the ones about Jed, the Flintstones, and that stupid Cabbage Patch Kid off my TV!
Would anyone who paid cash for a 2007 Bentley only get liability insurance? :dubious:
I haven’t seen that one yet, but I think the one with Michael Winslow, the sound-effects imitator guy, is pretty funny.
Just the other day one of my friends sheepishly admitted that she has a crush on the Geico gecko. Now, normally even if I don’t share the crush, I can understand the attraction. This time, no.
I hate to answer a question with a question but who says GEICO only offers liability?
My point was that the towing is only offered with the comp/collision policies. Both of which I know GEICO offers. The question upthread wondered about those people who paid cash for a car because they were under the impression that the towing was only offered for people who had liens. Towing is not offered on a liability only policy, therefore my question…Who would pay cash for a brand new Bentley (or other car for that matter) and not insure it fully?
Sorry I wasn’t clear on that earlier.
