I'm shopping auto insurance right now since the economy is majorly imitating a vacuum cleaner on our wallets, nothing like price increases! I tried to do an on-line rate quote inquiry to obtain a Geico quote, however they didn't even list the Caprice. So, I called their Customer Service voice today and asked them......WHY?
The reply I received was very interesting. GEICO considers the Caprice an "imported car" and, as such, will only provide liability coverage on it - no other insurance available. Told them it was a shame that we were not going to be doing business and thanked the rep politely. Talk about a goofy company policy!
So, the Caprice and GEICO are mutually exclusive unless you want bare-bones coverage ONLY on your car. Disappointing. Onward in my quest, ho!

Re: GEICO Insurance..... Pfffffft!!!
I’m currently fighting with Hagerty to cover my caprice as we speak mind you I have regularly insured daily’s and than 6 other classics I have to prove to them it’s collectible they even had me fill out a high performance vehicle resume I’ve seen others claim that they have Hagerty so I’ll update you on the progress
Re: GEICO Insurance..... Pfffffft!!!
I've had and still have my 2014 Chevy Caprice insured with GEICO since I purchased it in 2020. I have liability, comprehensive and collision coverage on the the Caprice. It costs $395.80 every 6 months with the various coverage limits, my age (old), location (California), driving record (spotless).

Re: GEICO Insurance..... Pfffffft!!!
I have had GEICO insurance on Caprices for about 5-6 years, but only carry the bare bones liability. I have always had to call them to get one added to the policy.

Re: GEICO Insurance..... Pfffffft!!!
So after a week of back and forth the car is know covered by Hagerty with a 20,000 agreed value for any else who tries piece of advice talk to a manager they are the only ones that will get it done because you need to prove to them that you believe it’s truly a collectible or has a sentimental value

I too tried to get Haggerty on mine a few months ago and got rejected.
And I have been a long term customer on other vehicles with Haggerty!
Re: GEICO Insurance..... Pfffffft!!!
Weird - I have full coverage on ours with Geico and had no issue getting it. And I'm not far from you, as you may know, in Sebastian.
Re: GEICO Insurance..... Pfffffft!!!
How are you guys getting a hold of Geico? I have tried calling the customer care number, and I keep getting a prerecorded note saying they do not provide quotes over the phone. Can someone please provide me with the number they are using? I currently have Bristol West since AAA refused to insure my 2013 but they are expensive at $112 every month for just liability and uninsured motorists.
