Avoid USAA at all costs even if you think you will save, you will not.
USAA is too costly, changes policy without consent, and is a nightmare to deal with on claims. Our last claim, they offered us a final offer of exactly half what our vehicle was worth. We had to hire an independent appraiser, they wouldn’t honor his appraisal, then we had to pay for a mediator to get even near what the vehicle was worth. Our own insurance company fought us at every turn for what our vehicle was obviously worth. The policy has gone up more than 4 times our initial quote. I don’t know why we stuck with them for so long. Quotes from other companies put our 6-month price less than 1 month of USAA’s prices. We are dumping them as soon as possible. It isn’t the same USAA it was 20 years ago. We have good credit and clean driving records. The last thing we want after being in an accident is to have to fight with our own provider that we were paying top dollar for. Our payout finally came after 1 year of dealing with them, hiring our own appraisal, and paying for mediation. My only advice is if you use USAA and get into an accident, immediately hire an attorney to deal with it all for you; otherwise, stay away from this company at all costs. They are not worth the high premiums they charge.

  • Frequent rate increases

  • Hit-or-miss claims handling

  • Available only to military members, veterans, and their families

Better understanding
I recently switched to this insurance company and wanted to share my experience. The customer service was very helpful in explaining the different coverage options available. They took the time to ensure I understood what each policy covered and how it would benefit me. However, I found their rates to be slightly higher than my previous insurer. Overall, the service was good, but I'm still weighing the cost versus the benefits.

You're the Only One Who Cares About You - Your Safety, Your Money, and Your Bottom Line
Move out of or stay out of California; it's an insurance rip-off and joke. It doesn't matter if you have a pristine driving record (like me, 30+ years as a licensed driver, zero tickets, zero accidents, zero claims - still screwed!). As long as there are people encouraged to break the law, you're going to foot the bill. First and foremost, be a responsible driver, drive defensively, pay attention, and keep your head on a swivel. Understand that no one else out there cares about you, your life, your vehicle, or your money, so you have to do right by yourself and your family alone. My next best advice to help ensure you can have your own back, because not everyone can even qualify for USAA (but if you do qualify for USAA, bar none, there is no better insurer out there, period!), is to figure out how to self-insure. Pay the premiums to yourself, invest in a no-touch type of account to accumulate your premiums and get an actual return on that investment. Then, if the worst-case scenario happens and you need to handle business, guess what - you can pay for it yourself. Your claim won't be denied, and your rates won't go up if, God forbid, you get in an accident, nor will you be denied coverage. These days, you're going to foot the bill, one way or another, most likely for you and the other party involved, so you might as well be your own insurer and quit paying premiums to another company who will forget that you've been footing the bill for all these years with no claims the moment you actually need them.

Customer service is exceptional and claims handling is Grade A
I really don't have any experience with my car insurance as I haven't needed to file a claim yet.

The most professional and fair claims handling, bar none, out of all the carriers in the industry. I've never really seen it any other way, and I have handled over 10,000 claims myself in the past 15 years.

My wife and I are in our mid-70s. Having said that, we give USAA a 5-star rating. Zero run-arounds when reporting an accident at all. And their agents that do the investigations are extremely good at their jobs. From top to bottom, they are very professional and it shows. We've been with USAA now for some 13 years. We are not going anywhere.

What happened to USAA Customer Service?
USAA used to be a customer-oriented organization focused on providing excellent service and reasonable prices to service military personnel. Over the years, rates have gone up on auto insurance, and multi-vehicle policies are one size fits all. In other words, if you have an older car you own and a newer vehicle that is financed, USAA automatically insures both vehicles with the same coverage. I have gone in and adjusted coverages only to have them raised just before renewal. Their bundle rates aren’t bad and are competitive, but their auto coverage is still higher than many competitors. It seems they’re all about profits, a far cry from the original mission statement and focus.

You get great service with car insurance, but you get what you pay for: High price, great service.
Amica is great. Customer service and claims both have great communication. It's just too pricey for my budget right now.

How we ranked the best car insurance companies for discounts

Insurify ranks the best car insurance companies for discounts using real customer feedback collected through its platform. Users who compare quotes or purchase a policy through Insurify can complete an optional survey rating their insurer across several categories, including customer service, claims handling, coverage options, discounts, policy transparency, and overall experience.

For this ranking, we prioritized each company’s discount rating, based on thousands of verified user reviews, as the primary ranking factor. We also considered supporting metrics like claims handling and policy transparency, since these directly affect how customers experience service after buying a policy.

Our data team aggregates, curates, and analyzes these ratings and reviews to bring you company-level insights from more than 85,000 Insurify users.

What makes a car insurance company good for discounts?

Discount options vary among insurers. And what makes one car insurance company good for discounts over another often depends on your personal situation.

For example, if you don’t have a teen driver in your household, you won’t need to compare discount options for young drivers or good students. Since discounts can also vary by state, be sure to read the fine print if you move frequently or need insurance coverage in more than one state.

Several common types of insurance discounts can help lower your rate:

  • Driver behavior discounts: Many insurers offer discounts for good driving habits. Besides offering a low-mileage discount, many auto insurance companies offer savings for being accident-free, taking a defensive driving course, or being a good driver. More insurers are also offering telematics and usage-based insurance discounts.

  • Driver characteristic discounts: Some insurance companies reward you if you belong to a professional group or own a home. You may also get a discount if you’re a new driver, a good student, or a military member.

  • Policy-based discounts: Insurers may offer savings based on how you manage your car insurance policy. In addition to a multi-car discount, these can include savings for auto pay, bundling, loyalty, and paying in full.

  • Vehicle-based discounts: Some insurers offer discounts for driving a new car or one with safety features such as anti-theft devices, passive restraints, or anti-lock brakes. Vehicles that use alternative energy (such as electric vehicles) may also qualify you for savings.

How to choose the best car insurance company for discounts

Use these tips when researching the best car insurance companies for discounts.

  • Ask about discounts. Not all discounts are automatically applied. Ask your insurance agent what discounts you’re currently getting on your auto policy, if any others are available in your state, and what you can do to qualify for cheaper car insurance.

  • Pay attention to “up to” amounts. Insurers may advertise potential savings “up to” a specific percentage. Keep in mind that this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll receive the highest advertised discount amount.

  • Identify which discounts vary by state. Advertised discounts may not be available in every state due to different regulations. Check availability in your state.

  • Understand which discounts may cost you money. Some incentives, like telematics programs, could end up increasing your rates, especially if you fail to demonstrate safe driving habits.

  • Do teachers get car insurance discounts?

    Teachers may qualify for special insurance discounts or waivers, such as $0 deductibles for qualifying covered events. Specifics and availability vary by insurer, so ask an agent about your eligibility if you’re a K–12 educator or college or university professor.

  • How can you get an affiliation discount?

    Some insurers offer discounts for alumni or members of professional groups or organizations. These discounts may be unpublished, so ask an agent if you’re eligible for lower rates.
