About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At GEICO headquarters, a regular would always ask for the same policy. One day, an automated voice announced over the intercom: ‘For Mr. Smith’s policy, please press 1-800-G-E-I-C-O-S-P-E-C-I-A-L.’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why only “Special”?’ The intercom replied, ‘Because, sir, that’s how GEICO says “insurance” in their secret code.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone called, they’d hear, ‘For your special policy, press 1-800-G-E-I-C-O-S-P-E-C-I-A-L!’
2. At GEICO's downtown office, a delivery driver kept asking the receptionist why her coffee always tasted like it came with ‘unlimited miles’ coverage. Finally, one day the receptionist confessed that she had accidentally spilled some of their ‘accident forgiveness’ brochure on the coffee machine. The delivery driver just shook his head and said, 'Now I get it—your coffee has unlimited forgiveness!'
3. At GEICO’s customer service desk, a neighbor started leaving mysterious notes every morning. Each note simply read: ‘Your rates are too high.’ One day, an elderly lady arrived for her renewal. She looked at the agent and asked softly, ‘Are you sure my rates are really that high?’ The agent smiled warmly and replied, ‘Ma’am, I can assure you—your rates are perfect!’ From then on, the mysterious notes stopped appearing.
4. At GEICO's customer support line, someone kept calling and saying, ‘I just saved money on my insurance!’ The reps were confused until they realized it was the same person each time—just not using their own phone. Finally, a delivery driver answered the phone and said, ‘I just saved money on my insurance!’ Everyone laughed—it turned out he’d been listening to his neighbor’s prank calls all along.
