- VO: A Chinese philosopher once said, "Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from a friend's forehead." Hmm...interesting quote, but not the most interesting quote you'll hear today. Not if you call GEICO Direct for a quote on your car insurance. Got 15 minutes? Call GEICO at 1-800-947-AUTO. That's 1-800-947-A-U-T-O. You could cut your car insurance rate by 15% or more without wheeling a hatchet. GEICO Direct, the sensible alternative.
