What does "GEICO" stand for?

Government Employees Insurance Company. Puzzled, are you? Well, the name goes back to the beginnings of our company. Founder Leo Goodwin first targeted a customer base of U.S. government employees and military personnel. Today, of course, GEICO has grown to provide insurance to a wide range of customers.

Our Parent Company

In 1996, GEICO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, one of the country's most successful investors. For the past two years, FORTUNE Magazine has named Berkshire's property-casualty insurance operation the most admired in the country.
