I was early on this thread. Coming back with a word of caution.?
! too got 12 months notice from Geico (to submit the survey by my renewal date in July 2025). Remember it's not just the survey. Geico have to sign off on it, and will want any "significant" items (in their judgment, not necessarily as categorized by the surveyor) rectified?with documentation of repair submitted and approved by Geico, before they will renew the policy. I got the survey done when I hauled the boat last September. Good job too. There was nothing major, but there were a few minor items that I set up to get taken care of over the winter, rather than get down to the wire with having to get these done close to the renewal date.
What threw me - and I may have been unlucky with a particular adjuster - was that Geico added a requirement for removal and dye-penetrant testing of all the chainplates. This without any indication of stress-corrosion cracking. Our chainplates are pretty substantial. That was getting to be a major undertaking. Hence my shift to Progressive.
So bottom line - get your survey done early and submitted to Geico, so you know what you're dealing with.

I had a similar experience with Geico. Hauling is not required and I have until my annual renewal in December to get the survey done. This is the first time in 8 years since I started with Geico that they've required a survey so I'm not too bothered by it.
