About GEICO
Government Employees Insurance Company. Puzzled, are you? Well, the name goes back to the beginnings of the company. Founder Leo Goodwin first targeted a customer base of U.S. government employees and military personnel. Today, of course, the company has grown to provide insurance to a wide range of customers, whether they’re employed by Uncle Sam or the private sector. GEICO serves millions in auto insurance and offers additional insurance as well.
