We had a roadside issue with the battery. Over 30 minutes later, we were still getting, “Please hold for a few more seconds”! The representative constantly needed more info that was already on file.

My Bad Experience
I was very disappointed with the customer service I received from a representative at your company. She put me on hold several times, and the last time I was on hold for 15 minutes. When I asked why, she criticized me, saying I wasn’t the only person she was helping. I was calling to buy more insurance, but now I’m just waiting for my coverage to expire so I can change companies.

USAA has been a nightmare to deal with. It took three separate phone calls to customer service to set up auto-draft! And even then, they simply withdrew whatever dollar amount they decided was appropriate for that payment, even though it was twice the amount! Their explanation is that there was some sort of shift in the policy price and/or they took out twice the amount to compensate for a "missed payment," even though I'm set up on auto-draft! Absolutely horrible company.

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 really don't have any experience with my car insurance as I haven't needed to file a claim yet.

My take on USAA
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.

My USAA Rating
Very poor. I’m 90 years old, and I pay USAA over $10,000 per year. I have been with USAA for over 35 years, and I am actively shopping for another company. I’m not great on a computer, and I have to go through hoops to ever talk to someone. When I do, it’s rare to find someone who is helpful. Our car was rear-ended last year in Willis, TX, with damage to the bumper and right rear fender. It was drivable. I took it to your authorized repair center, and after a week I went to check on it and found you had totaled it. It took at least five weeks to receive the settlement, and I had to do all the paperwork with the salvage company to get the settlement. Last week I called to lower the value on our homeowners policy to a point that I felt was reasonable. The lady I was talking with was adamant, and I finally hung up.

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.

Careful, check your coverage details
If your car gets a rock thrown through your main window by a homeless person that you see doing it, and you run the person away, putting your life at risk, you might think you're covered for everything on your car, especially after being insured for over 7 years (I'm at 10 years now). However, they will let you know that you are not covered. You don't have GLASS coverage. It's important to know the specifics of your policy to avoid surprises.

Overpaying for Car/Rent Insurance
They keep raising their prices even though I hardly use my car due to my third cancer diagnosis. I paid full price in 2009, and my car now has 28,000 miles (which shows how little I use it). I pay for a parking space. They added rental insurance when I clearly said no thanks (over the phone and asked them to send it to me in writing). During the ongoing TOPA process, some of my belongings got damaged. I tried to place a claim over the phone, and an angry person told me it is not covered. Then why are they charging me for a service that does not cover anything? Lastly, my car was damaged while parking, and the DC 3rd Police Department told me that damages should be covered by any car insurance by DC law. I've tried over the phone without a response so far. I believe this is an abuse against older people who are just trying to survive on a very limited income. Waiting for a prompt response from corporate or a manager. The supervisor just said they would call me back, but it never happens. I’d appreciate anyone's help!

USAA: Just Too Expensive
USAA Insurance has become unaffordable for the average person. My car insurance and homeowners insurance got so expensive that I moved on.

They also pay their CEO a high annual salary, so it’s easy to see why their rates keep going up.

When I first got on with USAA auto insurance, they were forthright about what they could do for you, and their cost for insurance was unbeatable.

Help Needed
I was with AAA until I learned that USAA canceled my policy on August 24. I don’t recall ever giving them the right to do that. However, I was told that I had two accidents listed on my MVR, which caused my premium to increase from $132 to $289 per month. That’s more than I could ever imagine. I’m a senior citizen on a fixed income, and this is really going to make things very hard for me financially. The accident listed as “minor” was appealed, and I was found not guilty. The “major” accident was caused by an uninsured driver. It’s my hope that a way can be found to lower my rate. Also, while I was shopping around before USAA, I was told that this policy will lapse on September 11. Could someone please let me know if that is true as soon as possible? Thank you.

User Review Collection and Methodologyexpand/collapse

Insurify collects reviews from users on its platform who have successfully compared quotes, as well as users who have purchased a policy through Insurify. These users complete an optional survey asking them to review their experience with their current insurance company and to rate the company on factors like customer service, claims handling, coverage availability, discounts, policy flexibility, policy transparency, and value for money. These ratings and reviews are then compiled and cleaned by our data team to bring you company-level insights from over 85,000 Insurify users.
