Easy Photo Estimate: Insurance Made Easy

Getting an estimate for damage to your vehicle has never been easier. No appointment and no waiting in line. With Easy Photo Estimate you can get an estimate and receive payment for your damage right from the mobile app or on geico.com

How does Easy Photo Estimate work?

1. Access your claim on your mobile device from our app or geico.com and select Easy Photo Estimate as your repair estimate type.
2. Take pictures of your damage from a few angles and upload them to your claim (we'll guide you).
3. An auto damage adjuster will review the photos, write an estimate, and issue your payment in as little as one business day.
4. Give the estimate to your body shop when you take the vehicle in for repair.

How do I take the best photos?

The damage should be easy to see in the picture, so make sure you have:

• Good lighting. Please ensure your photos taken in well-lit areas, with minimal glare or shadows.
• Clear visibility. Make sure the damaged area is dry and not covered by any objects, such as snow, dirt, leaves, drop cloths, boxes, etc.
• Proper distance. The online guide helps you with taking each picture from the right distance. Some photos will need to be of the entire vehicle, and some will only need to be of a specific area.
• Full vehicle access. Give yourself room to move around your whole vehicle so you can take pictures from all sides.
• Proof of ownership. We need a photo of the vehicle title or registration to verify ownership and issue payment.
