GEICO announced the release of GEICO Connect, a new mobile app that allows access to GEICO insurance information via mobile devices.

"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."

According to the company, GEICO Connect is a mobile application solution for customers designed with multi-driver policies.

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.

The GEICO Connect App is currently available from the iTunes for iPhone users, with an Android version to follow.
