GEICO Insurance: History, Policy Types and Rates

Friday April 18, 2008
You might not remember the name of GEICO Insurance, but you probably remember the gecko.

In California, geckos are very popular. I can't count the number of homes I've toured where geckos are displayed. These homes generally sport an edgy, urban design and, in almost every one of those homes, I'll spot a gecko lizard on the wall. Not a real lizard, of course, but ceramic, clay or plastic, often painted in a bright array of colors. You can easily recognize a gecko because of the fingers on its little feet. They're simply too cute, for a lizard, I mean.

Of course, GEICO also does those caveman commercials, but I don't think they were as big of a hit as the gecko commercials. Not that I have anything against lizards, but I've never wanted to touch an iguana. But geckos, seem, oh, I don't know, friendly. Which is probably what GEICO wants you to think.

Apart from its darling gecko, though, GEICO insurance offers a variety of home insurance policies, including those that cover condominiums . . . read more about GEICO Insurance.
