It was founded as the Government Employees Insurance COmpany which was deemed the lowest risk group at the time. It's still conservative in that respect (see above regarding 3 vs 5 year horizon). The bottom line is that they're not necessarily cheaper due to a lower level of service (my experience has been much to the contrary), they are cheaper because if you have a long and clean record, your premiums should be lower and they are with GEICO.

I've had Erie Insurance since I'm driving and have NEVER had any issues with them whenever I had a claim.
When I moved to a new area, my insurance basically doubled in price due to the higher income level and standard of living being higher. I got upset and called a couple other insurance companies for a comparison quote and none of them, including Geico, could come close to what I'm paying with Erie.

Geico protects their customers no matter what. A 70 year old lady hit my car driving the wrong side of the road, while on her cell phone. Police Report and photographic evidence, and they still denied their client could be responsible for the accident. My insurance, USAA, ending up fighting them over it and ate the cost to avoid a 3rd party review.

I recommend Geico to all my friends buying their first cars, no matter how terrible of a driver you are- Geico will never let you pay for an accident. Assholes.
