Auto insurance company GEICO unveiled plans to expand their technology reach with apps for the iPad and Android. The GloveBox app will add more features, according to a report by Insurance Technology. “GEICO wants the best experience for our customers at all times,” Dave Weaver, manager of mobile applications, told Insurance Technology. “Our mobile applications for iPad mobile digital devices and Android operating system were built with that in mind.”

Want to pay an insurance bill? There’s an app for that. Want to access insurance ID cards, record accident information, call a GEICO representative or view GEICO videos? There’s an app for that too. The idea is to help consumers through an accident and help them pay their bills. “Instead of simply shrinking our existing website, we reinvented the interaction with our latest applications,” Steve Smith, assistant vice president of GEICO’s Internet business unit, told Insurance Technology.

The company currently insures 16 million vehicles and recently announced they’re hiring hundreds of new workers.

As part of a program to help college and university students meet their educational goals, GEICO insurance has created its GEICO $1,000 Achievement Awards. As a result, hundreds of students have now earned this award.

GEICO, the most rapidly expanding auto insurance provider in the United States, recently received additional recognition from the Ward Group, a company that monitors the insurance industry. GEICO earned a place in Ward’s prestigious 50 Benchmark Group for its excellent treatment of policyholders, its financial stability, and its continued ability to come through with its promises. This is the 18th consecutive year that GEICO has won the award.
