Common reasons people leave GEICO: home and some other lines are often written by partner insurers, not GEICO itself, and driveEasy tracks driving through your phone, which not everyone wants. We ranked 2 alternatives by how directly each one replaces GEICO, then by reviews, real visits and how recently each app's facts were checked against its own website. Progressive currently ranks first.
