Payment Methods – Choose one of several easy ways to pay your premiums

Online
  • Direct Check

    Write an online check. No postage! No mail delays! There is no charge for using Direct Check.

    Here's How It Works
    • Log in to the secure Policyholder Service Center each time you would like to make a payment.
    • Provide us your checking account information. (Have a check handy so that you'll have account and bank information.)
    • We'll then create a facsimile check, which will clear electronically through your bank within one to five business days. (The transaction will show up on your bank statement as "GEICO PYMT.")
    • Once you've set up your Direct Check payment option and created your password, you can choose to store banking information so you won't have to re-enter it the next time.
  • Debit or Credit Card

    You can make a payment with your debit card, check card or any major credit card.

    Here's How It Works
    • Log in to the secure Policyholder Service Center each time you'd like to make a payment.
    • Click on the "Pay by Card" link and provide us with the details of your payment and card account.

Automatically
  • Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
