## GEICO vs. Progressive

**[GEICO](/content/car-insurance/companies/geico/index.html)** wins for its customer satisfaction, claims handling, and its robust digital experience. GEICO’s mobile app is highly rated and features a virtual assistant, vehicle care guides, and its telematics program. Military and federal employees may also qualify for discounts.

- Drivers can potentially save on coverage through GEICO’s DriveEasy and Progressive’s Snapshot telematics programs.
