Default I hold auto insurance from GEICO. Would the converage be good if I travel to Canada on my personal vehicle?

Why do you ask here instead of calling your insurance company? Just call them and tell the dates of your travel and they'll add TEMPORARY foreign insurance. If they do not have it, you can buy one right before you cross the border (you'll see signs for insurance before you get to the check point.)
------------------------------------------
To people who say an auto insurance is good anywhere in North America: absolutely not true. Maybe SOME insurance policies include such coverage, but MOST are good only in the USA. Read your policy and find a place where it says "good in Canada and / or Mexico." If you find such a thing in your policy, you have a very unusual one.
Please do not reply: "I have it." If you do, great, but it is unusual.

Should be fine.

It should actually state on the back of your insurance card where it is valid.

I live in Canada, and mine is good for the USA as well, I don't pay any extra or anything

Assuming you have proper coverage, it is good in Canada. You can verify with your insurance agent or broker that Canadian and American auto insurance policies are good in any state or province.

If you have a standard auto policy, the coverage territory is the US, Canada & US possessions & territories. That means you are covered in Canada. Read your policy, it will tell you. Also, most auto policies will provide minimum limits per the laws of the state or province you are travelling in. This means that if you have lower limits than the minimum in a Canadian province, your policy will provide the additional limits, without making any changes to the policy & without any additional premium. What you will have to do though is call GEICO & get a Canadian ID card. This ID card is a nonresident ID card & is written in both English & French. The company should give it to you for the time you will be travelling there. You will not be required to show it at the border, but you will be required to show it if you are pulled over or involved in an accident. If you do not have it, you can be in a lot of trouble. GEICO should be able to explain this to you. If they do not know this, if I were you I would call an independent agent to get quotes & change your insurance. I can beat GEICOs prices all the time, so they are not always the best rate. Also, if you have an indendent agent in your area, they will be able to help you with claims & other issues & you can actually go to an office & speak to someone in person.
