I too had been a long-time customer of GEICO until I got the quote for my TCH. At the time I requested quotes for several vehicles, including a non-hybrid 07 Camry, and was pretty shocked that I would be paying more for the TCH than for any of the other vehicles. When I asked why I was told it was, "because the technology is so new" .

My husband works for an insurance broker (as an IT person), so we decided to have them get quotes for us from other insurance companies and see what the price would be. I am now paying LESS for insuring my TCH with Traveler's than I was paying GEICO for my 1999 Corolla .
