Most GEICO Policyholders Miss At Least One Discount
As a GEICO exclusive agency in Denver, we review a lot of GEICO policies — new quotes and existing ones. The single most common thing we find is missing discounts. GEICO offers more discount categories than most people realize, and if you set up your policy online or through the 800 number without an agent walking you through each one, there is a good chance you are leaving money on the table.
Here is every GEICO discount currently available to Colorado drivers, what it takes to qualify, and roughly how much it can save you. If you are comparing carriers, see our GEICO vs State Farm comparison.
Driving Record Discounts
Safe Driver Discount
Five or more years with no at-fault accidents and no moving violations qualifies you for GEICO's safe driver discount. This is typically one of the largest percentage discounts available and can reduce your premium significantly. The longer your clean record, the better.
Defensive Driving Course
Completing an approved defensive driving course can earn you a discount on your GEICO premium. Colorado recognizes several approved courses, including online options. The discount applies at renewal and is generally valid for a set period before you would need to retake the course.
Policyholder Discounts
Multi-Policy (Bundle) Discount
This is the one we push hardest because it is the easiest money to save. When you bundle your GEICO auto policy with a home, renters, or condo policy through our agency, you earn a 3% to 6% discount on your auto premium. See how much you could save with a GEICO home and auto bundle in Colorado. It applies every year and takes almost no effort on your part.
Multi-Vehicle Discount
Insuring more than one vehicle on the same GEICO policy earns you a multi-vehicle discount. Families with two or more cars should always have them on the same policy rather than separate ones.
Pay-in-Full Discount
Paying your full premium upfront instead of in monthly installments reduces your total cost. GEICO charges installment fees on monthly payments, so paying in full eliminates those fees and can earn an additional rate discount.
Automatic Payment Discount
Setting up autopay through your bank account can qualify you for a small but consistent discount. It also eliminates the risk of a missed payment, which could cause a lapse in coverage.
Membership & Affiliation Discounts
Military Discount
Active duty service members across all branches qualify for a dedicated GEICO military discount. This applies to your auto insurance policy and stacks with other discounts. GEICO was originally founded to serve government employees, and military pricing reflects that history.
Veterans Discount
Honorably discharged veterans retain their military discount with GEICO. If you served and are not seeing this discount on your policy, it may not have been applied during setup. We check this on every veteran policy we review.
Reserves and National Guard
Members of the reserves and National Guard qualify for the same military discount as active duty. With Colorado installations like Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, and Peterson SFB, a significant portion of Colorado drivers qualify.
Federal Employee Discount
Civilian federal employees receive a dedicated discount. The Denver Federal Center, regional federal offices, and VA facilities across the Front Range employ thousands of people who qualify for this rate but may not know it exists.
Vehicle & Safety Discounts
Anti-Theft Device Discount
If your vehicle has a factory-installed anti-theft system, an aftermarket alarm, or a tracking device, you may qualify for a discount. Colorado has one of the highest vehicle theft rates in the country, and GEICO rewards drivers who take steps to secure their cars.
Airbag Discount
Vehicles equipped with driver and passenger airbags can qualify for an additional discount. Most modern vehicles have these standard, but the discount still needs to be reflected on your policy.
Anti-Lock Brake Discount
ABS-equipped vehicles may qualify for a reduced rate. Like airbags, this is standard on most newer vehicles but is not always automatically applied.
Daytime Running Lights
Vehicles with automatic daytime running lights can earn a small discount. Check your vehicle's features — many drivers do not realize their car qualifies.
Student & Young Driver Discounts
Good Student Discount
Drivers under 25 who maintain a B average or better in school qualify for a good student discount. This applies to high school and college students and can meaningfully reduce rates for younger drivers, who typically pay the highest premiums.
Student Away at School
If a student on your policy attends college more than 100 miles from home and does not take a car, you may qualify for a reduced rate on their coverage. The logic is that a driver who is away most of the year poses less risk.
How to Make Sure You Have Every Discount
The fastest way to check is to call our office at 303-824-3430 and ask for a policy review. We pull up your current GEICO policy, go through every discount category, and flag anything that is missing. The review takes about 15 minutes, costs nothing, and we have yet to review a policy where we did not find at least something to save. You can also get a GEICO car insurance quote online to see your current rate. For more ways to lower your premium, read how to save on car insurance in Denver.
