Geico does not have a pay-in-full discount – not an official “discount,” at least. But drivers who pay in full, up front will save money because Geico charges installment fees if you choose one of their multiple-payment plans. Geico just isn’t clear about how much because the installment fee can change each time you make a payment. Across the industry, paying in full for car insurance saves drivers between 5% and 15%, or around $10 per month.
Geico’s website also notes that some payment plans aren’t available in all states or for all policies. For example, you have to pay in full if you live in Florida and only want personal injury protection and/or property damage liability coverage.
Geico has a lot of other discounts that you may be able to qualify for in order to lower your car insurance costs. You can save for having certain safety features on or in your car, for example. There are also Geico discounts for being affiliated with certain organizations, demonstrating good driving habits and more
