Many insurance companies provide special discounts to teachers and others working in education, such as GEICO. This company offers discounts to those who hold multiple policies with them and pay premiums automatically from their paychecks or belong to educational associations; additionally it also offers the Educator Advantage Endorsement for its home, renters and condo policies.

Geico offers many auto policy discounts beyond educator discounts, including good driver discounts for drivers with excellent grades or completion of state-approved defensive driving courses, discounts for being members of certain organizations such as fraternal and sororal societies, membership discounts to certain fraternal and sororal associations as well as special membership rates for military service members and more.
GEICO provides car insurance policies specifically tailored to teachers as well as various other policies — homeowners insurance and an auto/home package among them — as well as special features, like offering vandalism coverage with zero deductible for vandalism occurring on school property or while being used for school-related activities and covering items owned by schools such as teaching materials in vehicles.
The company also sponsors other education-related initiatives, such as an effort to encourage more teens to enroll in driver’s education classes and an offer of military discounts to active duty members, reservists and veterans.
Other insurance providers also provide educator discounts, with Horace Mann being founded by two teachers to offer affordable policies to educators. Other options for educators are Country Financial, Farmers, Liberty Mutual and Plymouth Rock Assurance.
