"More and more consumers are using their smartphones and tablets to search and retrieve information," said Pete Meoli, manager of GEICO's mobile team. "As this becomes mainstream for insurance purposes, GEICO Connect is already ahead of the curve. We can deliver innovative digital capabilities to our customers anytime, anywhere."

GEICO Connect features digital access to insurance ID cards, GEICO's Roadside Help and GEICO Accident Assistance, a step-by-step guide for motorists should an accident occur.
