They can also be contacted by phone through licensed insurance agents or through their website. Jake Wood, an English actor, voices the mascot of GEICO. He is a gold-dust day gecko with Cockney accent. GEICO has made many commercials to entertain viewers and is well-known in popular culture.

Despite having the name “government” in it, GEICO is a private corporation. It has never been a government agency. Leo Goodwin Sr., and Lillian Goodwin, his wife, founded the company in 1936 to sell automobile insurance to federal employees.

GEICO also offers property and umbrella insurance. However, the company’s risk is transferred to third-party companies. GEICO acts as an “insurance agent” and has a separate customer service team that deals with the umbrella and property policies.
