An Experience with Greediness
I’ve been with them for months and have been participating in their Drive Safe program, where they monitor your driving through your phone, and I haven’t had any dings. I also received a notice last month that, due to their monitoring, I’m eligible for a 30% discount; however, I haven’t seen it, and they actually raised my monthly bill by a few dollars. I think the entire insurance industry needs reform—they’re just plain greedy.

I’ve taken the AAA driver’s course and have even taught it. I’ve had my mileage tracked on each trip and scored 100%, yet my rates have about doubled in the past two years. I’m tired of looking for good companies with fair rates, but you’re charging too much.

High Costs...little return
For the most part, the insurance has been fine. It is difficult at times if you need to speak with a customer service rep, as the company relies on AI to try and resolve issues. Claims are hit or miss, and it seems that not all representatives provide the same quality of service. Rates have consistently increased regardless of any claims against your own account. There are very few discounts for customers that have been with them for years. Rates are 4-5 times higher than other insurance companies.

USAA doesn't actually serve veterans or their families
It used to be a really good company, but they changed a lot of their policies, didn't put them in writing, and it wasn't until later that we found out changes were made. They say that they apply monthly discounts to my rate, but no discounts have actually been applied.

How the System Operates
You have to log in to the site to specify if you are a driver or passenger, etc. The more miles on the vehicle, the more you pay monthly. There's a basic rate, and then mileage takes over.

Switched to Progressive After 25 Years with USAA
Switched to Progressive from USAA after 25 years. USAA would not work with me on lower car insurance rates (we are retired) after they jumped $80/month. I've been very impressed with Progressive, setting up auto for 2 cars, plus I moved our homeowners policy as well. I was disappointed that USAA wouldn't try harder to keep me as a customer, but switching to Progressive is proving to be a great move. Full policy matching what we had with USAA, saving $100/month!

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.

USAA has no loyalty to long-term customers
USAA consistently delivers exceptional service; I have been a loyal customer for nearly two decades. However, I've observed a continuous increase in rates, which suggests a lack of loyalty to long-standing customers. I believe USAA should consider implementing loyalty discounts for their tenured clientele, rather than consistently raising their rates.

USAA lied about coverage
I've had USAA for 6 months. I was told an accident I had 3 years ago would be off my record by the time it renewed. I called back when I found out it did not and would not be for 2 more years. I was also told that the mileage tracker was just like a game and they knew nothing about my total mileage. Now I just don't trust anything they say!

They offer big discounts but then raise your rate by the amount of the discount, so they don't really give a discount.

USA's Monitoring Practices
I do not care for their big brother approach. They monitor your hands-free phone calls and deduct points for talking, which affects your premium. They also took my average miles driven per year and divided it by 12. If I go over my monthly allowance, I pay more for my next premium. Ridiculous!

Discounts only apply if you drive a certain number of miles each month that they require. I'm a disabled, service-connected veteran, senior citizen and don't do any unnecessary driving. USAA took away my discounts and increased my premium. I'm 65, have no accidents ever, am a non-drinker, and non-drug user. My car is 10 years old now, so I dropped full coverage. My monthly payment went from $176.00 to $76.00. After losing my discount, my monthly payment went up to $108.00.

I don't like that you only get the discount if you're enrolled in their monitoring safe driving program. It's not easy for someone like me who has a hard time navigating on my phone. I've tried to do it on the phone with one of their agents, but it didn't go through, so they raised my monthly payments. I'm on auto-pay, so I'm not very happy.

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.
