Yes, Geico does offer a defensive driving course discount. Eligible drivers who complete a Geico-approved defensive driving course can get a discount of up 10% on their Geico car insurance premium, depending on their state of residence. Geico-approved online defensive driving courses typically cost between $12 and $25.
Why a Geico Defensive Driving Course Is a Good Idea
In general, Geico defensive driving courses improve students' driving skills by teaching them how to react effectively in hazardous situations. Main topics include how to drive in bad weather and on wet or icy roads, how to correct course if you lose control, how to veer off the roadway safely, and how to react if something crosses into your lane suddenly. Courses also cover the dangers of road rage, speeding, aggressive driving and driving under the influence.
Geico's defensive-driving course discount is available in most (but not all) states, and rules and qualifications vary. Geico has a convenient directory to help you learn more about the defensive driving requirements in your state.
Geico Defensive Driving Discounts in Major States
- California – up to 5%
- Texas – up to 10%
- Florida – up to 10%
- New York – up to 10%
- Illinois – up to 5%
- Pennsylvania – up to 10%
- Georgia – up to 10%
- New Jersey – up to 5%
If you already have a course in mind, check with Geico to see if that course will qualify you for the discount. You can also find an approved Geico defensive driving course, and learn how to sign up, through SafetyServe or the American Safety Council. Many states offer the option of taking the course online rather than in a classroom.
