GEICO to Sell Commercial Auto Coverage Direct to Customers in N.Y.

Business owners in New York can now purchase commercial auto coverage directly from GEICO, which could lead to lower premium rates for many risks.

Commercial insurance packages cover the cars, trucks and vans used by small businesses such as contractors, retailers, caterers, professional services and others. In addition to providing protection for a variety of business vehicles, GEICO offers protection for business operations and property through the GEICO Insurance Agency.

“Customers can now contact GEICO for all of their automobile insurance needs, and through the GEICO Insurance Agency we can meet other insurance requests they may have,” said Pionne Corbin, GEICO director of commercial lines.

GEICO offers commercial plans to both new and existing customers and can provide free rate quotes.
