An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this GEICO phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like GEICO staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call GEICO is Monday. The most busy day to call is Wednesday. Again, this is based on a sample of 47,804 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday.
The best time to call
In summation, the best day to call GEICO is Monday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that GEICO staffs the call center well on Monday.

My Experience Calling GEICO at this Number

I'm thinking about getting motorcycle insurance with GEICO, but I hate signing up for new policies online. I prefer talking to an agent who can walk me through each section of liability and offer me some recommendations. This is something my husband used to take care of, but now that we're divorced it falls back onto me and I'm just not that comfortable with it. As a motorcyclist, I've been in a few accidents and appreciate how important the right coverage can be, so I prefer to talk to someone who understands it better than myself. 

That said, I found this phone number online as a sort of cheat to get right to a representative, but it didn't go as planned. GEICO manages a lot of different insurance policies including home auto, and miscellaneous ones, so I'm sure they get a lot of phone calls. I was hoping to get to someone quickly, but the line was a dead end. When I called, a recorded voice said, "Thank you for calling GEICO. This call may be monitored or recorded for quality purposes. If you know your party's extension, enter it at any time during this message. If you do not know your party extension, please dial one for our company names directory."

Clearly, that line led to some type of corporate headquarters, and if you don't pick an extension it hangs up on you. So, that wasn't going to work. I Googled the motorcycle customer care number for GEICO and found this number, 1-866-238-6902 which did get to me a person eventually. It took about 10 minutes, but at the end of the phone call, I was able to speak to someone about different motorcycle policies. 

While there was a 10-minute wait to talk to a representative, I actually found the directory easy to use. It asked me upfront if I needed a motorcycle policy and after I gave the voice assistant some pertinent information such as my birth date, phone number, and ZIP code it sent me straight to a hold line. The music wasn't that bad, and the representative who answered spoke clearly and walked me through some policy choices if I decided to go with GEICO. They also offered me several policy payment options and I enjoyed the flexibility and extra time they took to review those with me. I didn't sign up yet, but I did appreciate the thorough nature of the call.
