Is leasing like a rantel that you cant let anyone drive it if they are not on your lease/insurance ?
No, its not like a rental.

Not possible way to many variables.
For starters go to geico.com and plug in all relevant information, see what it spits out.

Most insurance companies will let you lend the car to whomever you'd like. When you lend them your car you're lending them your insurance though so keep in mind your rates can go up if they get into an accident

I live in Brooklyn, 2 leased cars and 2 drivers, and my Geico insurance just went up from $200/mo to $280/mo last week due to an accident my wife had last year. There's either something wrong or you have very expensive cars. (I have a '15 Altima and a '14 Pathfinder.)

+1 maybe he means per 6 months and not per month

So you didn't switch to Geico you just added it to your policy. I guess you can switch to Geico and become a member.

I switched to geico today and I am paying 50% of what i paid before. that has nothing to do with this, just a random fact I wanted to share.

The 8% can be added to any current account.

Same by me. Thing is, Geico gave me originally such a cheap deal, that anyone else's quotes are over 500 more, so I gotta stick with them
