How to File a GEICO Hail Damage Claim in Texas
By Max Exteriors PDR · March 15, 2026 · 5 min read
Step 1 — File via the GEICO Mobile app or 1-800-841-3000
App is fastest. Claim number is generated immediately.
Step 2 — GEICO Photo Estimate or shop estimate
Light hail may qualify for photo-only settlement. Moderate-to-severe damage routes to GEICO's Auto Repair Xpress program or an independent shop of your choice.
Step 3 — Choose a PDR specialist
GEICO's Auto Repair Xpress shops are convenient but not required. Independent PDR shops typically beat ARX estimates on hail jobs because PDR is their specialty.
Step 4 — Approval timeline
GEICO approves most PDR estimates within 24–48 hours. After major storms, expect longer — but PDR shops handle the supplement process directly with the adjuster.
Step 5 — Deductible and payment
GEICO pays the shop. You owe only your comprehensive deductible at completion. Ask about deductible assistance.
