The gecko in the Geico commercials does have a cockney (poor) British accent.
The voice for GEICO's Gecko is British actor and comedian Jake Wood. Mr. Wood's British accent is often mistaken to be Australian, however, rest assured the Gecko's accent is purely British.
While often mistaken for Australian, the GEICO gecko's accent is British. More precisely, southeast English (London or home counties). The British/Australian mix-up is used to comic effect in a commercial set in a boardroom meeting. In the wild they are found in warm climates around the world.
The Gecko from the Geico commercial is named Martin after The Martin Agency in Richmond, VA. While often mistaken for Australian, the GEICO gecko's accent is British. More precisely, southeast English, around London. See the link below for more of a biography. His name is clearly not Stanley as stated in a 2010 commercial in which he says, "My name is not Stanley . . . I'd hate to be Stanley."
This is from the "Geico" commercial where the gecko is in the refrigerator looking for his egg salad.
Some think he's from England, but in the commercial he says no. Some also think he's Aussi [[Which I don't see how they could]] but in the same commercial he says no as well. So, with those two out of the picture, in my eyes he's Welsh. Welsh and English people often have the same accent.So, to make the story short, He Is Welsh!Cottondale FloridaActually, he's from our IMAGINATION!

The recent voice for the gecko is done by Jake Wood. Now for the record, the Geico Gecko has been voiced by Kelsey Grammar (the stiff English accent), Richard Steven Horvitz (the voice in the Kung Fu Fighting spot), and Dave Kelly (the relaxed British-Aussie accent).
The name of the actor in the GEICO Man Made of Money commercial is not stated. It is stated that Jake Wood a British actor is the current voice of the GEICO gecko.
It does not have either of those accents. In one of the latest commercials he says he isn't British or Australian. I was searching and i found out he has a New Zealand accent.
The Geico gecko only exsists in the Geico commercials,so this means that in real life,the Geico gecko is not real.
I would have thought that the Gecko is actually from New Zealand since he inadvertantly rules out Australia and England in the one commercial. It's my understanding that Geckos are from Australia and New Zealand, which makes me wonder why they have "Him" speaking with a southern Brit accent..
The car insurance with a gecko as a mascot is GEICO it is a gold dust day gecko with a cockney accent (cockney is from London ) voiced by English comedian and actor Jake wood.
