Will GEICO drop me after an accident?

, not only would you have to get into three separate accidents within 36 months, all three of those accidents would have to be your fault.It sounds like you’re usually a safe driver, so you probably have nothing to worry about—but in the event that you did lose your regular GEICO coverage, you’re not out of options. You can still purchase auto insurance from a provider who specializes in covering
high-risk drivers
