When you declare your car a total loss and it’s being handed over to Geico or any other insurance company, you typically need to transfer ownership of the vehicle to them. This generally involves signing the title to officially release your ownership. By signing the title, you authorize the transfer and allow the insurance company to salvage or dispose of the car as necessary. The exact process can vary by state due to different regulations and title laws, so it’s advisable to check specific state requirements or contact your Geico claims adjuster for detailed instructions. Additionally, ensure you remove any personal belongings from the vehicle before the handover.
