Does GEICO check driving records?

I’ve gotten several speeding tickets in the past three years, so when I got my car insurance renewal notice, I wasn’t surprised that my rate has increased. However, my friend uses GEICO and says they have great rates. I was thinking about switching, but I’m not quite sure if it’s worth it. Will GEICO check my driving record?

Whether you have speeding tickets or not, shopping around for car insurance regularly can save you money. But with 100% certainty,
GEICO
will check your driving record.
Every single car insurance company checks your driving record to assess your risk as a driver. While it’s a vital part of calculating your premium, you may still save money due to other reasons, including:
  • Owning your home
  • Being married
  • Bundling your auto insurance with home insurance
  • Serving in the military.
  • Having good credit
On top of the qualities listed above, you can also get a cheaper rate over time with no tickets. If you can maintain a spotless driving record, car insurance companies will reward you with a lower premium. But among these premiums is the best rate possible, which you can only find by shopping around with the

app.
