Local Expertise Beats 15-Minute Quotes

GEICO Alternative in Bergen County

Discover why more Bergen County residents are choosing Midland Insurance over GEICO

The 15-Minute Quote Problem

GEICO's famous "15 minutes could save you 15%" slogan sounds great, but here's what they don't advertise: those quick quotes often miss critical coverage needs, local risk factors, and available discounts that could save you even more. At Midland Insurance, we take the time to understand your unique situation, ensuring you get the right coverage at the best possible price. Yes, it might take more than 15 minutes, but proper protection is worth it.

Why Bergen County Residents Switch from GEICO

  • Tired of explaining their situation to a different representative every time
  • Frustrated with claims being handled by distant adjusters who don't know the area
  • Discovered coverage gaps after it was too late
  • Wanted someone who understands Bergen County's unique insurance needs
  • Needed help navigating complex claims, not just filing them online
  • Realized they were overpaying because GEICO only offers one company's rates
  • Preferred face-to-face service for important financial decisions
  • Found that "saving 15%" meant losing important coverage

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it hard to switch from GEICO to Midland Insurance?

Not at all! We handle the entire transition for you. We'll review your current GEICO policy, find better coverage options, and coordinate the switch to ensure no lapse in coverage. Most switches are completed in under 30 minutes at our office.

Can Midland really beat GEICO's rates?

Absolutely! While GEICO can only offer their own rates, we shop multiple insurance carriers to find you the best price. We often find better coverage for less money because we know which carriers offer the best rates for your specific situation.

What happens to my GEICO claim history if I switch?

Your claims history follows you regardless of carrier. We'll help ensure any open claims are properly handled during the transition. Having a local agent actually helps with future claims because we advocate for you based on your history.

Do I lose online features by switching from GEICO?

No! You'll still have 24/7 online access to your policy, digital ID cards, and online bill pay. The difference is you also get a local agent who knows your name and can help when you need it most.

Why is local service better than GEICO's 24/7 call center?

While GEICO's call center is available 24/7, you'll speak to a different person each time who doesn't know your history. With Midland, you have a dedicated agent who knows your specific needs, understands Bergen County, and fights for you during claims.
