‘Good Students’ in Virginia Get 15% Auto Insurance Break from GEICO

In Virginia, drivers who are full time students between the ages of 16 and 24 could be eligible for a 10-15 percent discount from GEICO.

The insurer said its discount applies if the teens meet any of these requirements:

B average prior semester
3.0 grade point average
Dean’s List or Honor Roll
Top 20% SAT scores
Top 20% PSAT scores
Home-schooled students may be eligible based on standardized exam results
