All sorts of companies offer military discounts, and auto insurers are no exception. In fact, GEICO – the “Government Employees Insurance Company” – first formed to provide insurance to federal employees. Many auto insurance providers reason that government employees as a group are less risky than the general population.
GEICO and USAA (United Services Automobile Association) are among the largest providers of low cost car insurance to military members. Here are some quick overviews of their offerings:
- GEICO gives discounts to active duty and enlisted personnel, veterans, and members of the National Guard and Reserve Forces. The company offers extra discounts to service members with emergency deployments and those who are members of certain military organizations, such as the Marine Corps League or the Air Force Sergeants Association.
- USAA is a member-owned Fortune 500 company. It extends discounts to active duty and enlisted personnel and members of the National Guard and Reserve Forces. It also has specials for officer candidates in ROTC and other government programs. Discounts may also be offered to military members’ spouses and adult children.
Both GEICO and USAA, among others, are known for understanding military members’ unique needs. Whatever company you choose, remember that’s it’s not just about low cost car insurance. You’ll appreciate dealing with a company that’s designed to serve your military lifestyle.
