Motorist Stories

Gaui was very helpful and pleasant. He explained the whole process we would go through and the best option to take. He was very reassuring because I was stuck on the freeway during rush hour traffic. He went beyond what I would expect for a free service. Thank you, GEICO for providing this essential service.

My water pump sprung a significant leak while on the PA Turnpike and my car alerted me to set the car to idle immediately. I drove on to the side of the road, put the car in idle to cool and popped the hood. Within minutes, a Safety Patrol vehicle pulled up behind. He was just as nice and kind and calm as one needs to be for such an occasion. The GEICO-sponsored Safety Patrol is absolutely a great service!

-Mark, PA

I just want to say a big thank you to Noah. I was on my way home from work and I had a flat tire on 295 south. A GEICO-sponsored Safety Patrol truck pulled up behind me and he asked if he could help me. He had me back on the road in no time. I just want to say thanks again for saving the day, Noah, I appreciate you.

I had a rental vehicle and accidentally ran out of gas on Interstate 15. I managed to coast off the ramp and a really nice man, Tim, stopped and assisted us. He gave us enough gas to get to a gas station. We offered to pay and tip him and he said no, this service was provided by GEICO. I just wanted to express our appreciation for this great service and to let you know how well Tim did for us. We have told everyone about this service that GEICO provides!

The patrol driver pulled up behind my car on the side of I-81 on a very hot day, no shade. He asked if I would like free assistance. I gladly accepted the offer. He set up a safety zone for our vehicles, then put a quantity of gas in my car at no charge. I was on my way in five minutes. Thank you VDOT and GEICO-sponsored Safety Patrol.

-Ed, VA

I was on the highway when my tire blew out! I deep sighed and said to my daughter ‘Where are all those GEICO-sponsored Safety Patrol trucks I always see for other people on the highway?!’ Unbelievably, I look in my rear-view mirror to see lights flashing behind me. It WAS a GEICO-sponsored Safety Patrol truck!! Hoyt was truly a lifesaver for us! He was super friendly and polite, kept us safe on the highway and QUICKLY changed my tire for me.

-Tana, OH

I am a nursing student, it was 5:30 in the morning and I was on my way to clinicals. I had a blowout, but then out of nowhere Micheal pulls up behind me, puts up his signs, and immediately gets out and tells me exactly what to do to keep both of us safe while he changed my tire. Micheal changed the tire within five minutes and gave me directions to get off the highway safely, he was incredible. Micheal will forever be the talk of my house. AMAZING!

The patrol driver was an incredible help. My car broke down and I pulled over. Within 2 minutes of being broken down, he stopped behind and put out cones. Then he proceeded to coach me while I put my car in neutral and he pushed my car with his car off the exit ramp. He was courteous, professional and calm. I cannot thank him enough. So glad for the Colorado DOT Safety Patrol and GEICO for having this program. Me and my dog really appreciated this!

-Katherine, CO

We ran over some debris in the road and the tire went flat. We have a new car and were not familiar with tire changing procedures. Fortunately, Max pulled up behind us a few minutes later. Max was very knowledgeable and professional and knew exactly how to unlock the wheel with a special socket wrench. He got the tire changed in minutes and despite blazing 95+ temperatures he was very friendly and eager to help. What a great guy! What a great service is Indiana DOT Hoosier Helpers! Thanks!

-Joe, IN

David was absolutely spectacular. He was quick to offer assistance for anything I needed with my disabled vehicle, which had a terrible flat tire on the highway. He safely and efficiently took control of the situation and had a spare tire on my SUV in no time. Moreover, he was caring, cordial, and warm. I don’t know what I would have done without David and the amazing service that New Jersey Department of Transportation and GEICO provided. Thank you all so much! Simply outstanding service!

-Nicholas, NJ

I hit a car part in the middle of 485 and blew my tire. By the time I pulled over Eric from NCDOT was behind me offering his help and was very nice. He even taught me how to change my tire for future if needed. A free and fast helping hand on the side of the road was extremely appreciated. Thank you so much, GEICO & Eric!!

-Taylor, NC

The patrol driver picked up my tire and bumper from the freeway so it wasn’t causing a hazard. He parked behind my vehicle, acting as an extra barrier between traffic and my vehicle. He checked in on me and offered me water. He was so kind and helped me feel safe in this scary situation.
