They say that they apply monthly discounts to my rate, but no discounts have actually been applied.Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on March 26, 2026The rates kept changing.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on March 24, 2026The car insurance is very expensive.

- Verified ReviewReviewed in New Hampshire on March 13, 2026I would rate my experience with USAA very high. If I had a question that the person I was talking to could not answer, I would be transferred to someone who could answer my question.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on March 1, 2026I have been with USAA for many years. I am very happy with them and recommend them highly.Verified ReviewReviewed in South Carolina on February 28, 2026I've been with USAA for many years. I have no complaints. They handle claims quickly and are very easy to work with. I highly recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you, USAA.Verified ReviewReviewed in Utah on February 27, 2026Excellent, you need someone in the family to be military or a veteran. I just got a check from the subscriber account USAA uses as a safety valve. This check basically paid for 6 months of coverage.Verified ReviewReviewed in Colorado on February 26, 2026I have not had any issues, and the price was always far below other insurers.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on February 25, 2026Looking for a car insurance company that gives you top-of-the-line support and coverage? Try USAA. They have done wonders for me over the last 61 years.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on February 22, 2026I have two cars. The discount for not using a phone is good, but both cars must meet minimum mileage before the discount can be applied.Verified ReviewReviewed in Nebraska on February 14, 2026USAA gave me a favorable price over the competition, and I’ve been with them for 1 1/2 years now.Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on March 29, 2026For all the hype, I found their rates inflated and service mediocre. I spent the better part of an afternoon chatting with an agent who was pushing coverage we didn’t need or want, to finally land on a reasonable policy.Verified ReviewReviewed in Tennessee on March 20, 2026USAA is not flexible on insurance rates. I've been a member for 16 years and paying $2,000 per year for insurance. I've never had a claim and never received a ticket or infraction. I asked for a better rate and was told nothing was available. Now I'm looking to change companies due to high costs and low-value customer appreciation.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on March 14, 2026I had a claim service problem because USAA's agent spent over three weeks searching for parts for a Toyota Avalon. Too bad I was driving a Chevrolet Avalanche. A little incompetence goes a long way.Verified ReviewReviewed in Arizona on March 11, 2026It's getting less expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Arkansas on March 3, 2026Astronomical rates that keep rising on my 2016 car. Monthly premium rates are too high.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on February 28, 2026It is good but expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on February 28, 2026Good customer service but very high rates.Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on February 23, 2026Response to incidents is great.

- Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on March 8, 2026They are a good company and provide excellent customer service, but they have increased their prices so much! That is my reason for leaving them. We have had them for over 40 years!Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on February 28, 2026It's very good, I'm just looking for cheaper insurance with the same coverage.Verified ReviewReviewed in Massachusetts on February 23, 2026Excellent, has been for 60 years.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on February 22, 2026Very poor experience. I had a car with 60,000 original miles, like it came out of a showroom, and it was totaled. They compared it to the same car with 238,000 miles, and no amount of talking and explaining would change their mind. I lost thousands of dollars! On top of that, because I was challenging them on the price they wanted to give me, they took the rental back or were going to charge me a higher price than I could rent it myself, although I pay extra on my policy for them to provide a rental to me in case my car gets disabled!Verified ReviewReviewed in South Carolina on February 20, 2026Whether it was an accident or a window replacement, the claim was handled very quickly and with no delay.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on February 18, 2026Excellent and professional service. My minor complaint is that it is somewhat expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Arizona on February 17, 2026I would like to have full coverage at a cheaper rate.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on February 16, 2026Great service, expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on March 10, 2026Same as any other insurance company. They used to be great when we just covered officers, but now that we cover anyone who can spell Army, the company has become mediocre and expensive to boot.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on February 15, 2026They use computers extensively without regard to driving history, etc. There is no one to discuss how a rate can be adjusted, as the computer decides everything. In essence, there is no human underwriting.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on February 14, 2026As a disabled veteran, I find USAA’s premiums to be too high.Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on February 10, 2026With no accidents or tickets in the last decade, our car insurance rates doubled with USAA after 5 years. Why? Couldn't tell you and couldn't get an explanation as to why either when I called them to inquire about the rate hike!Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on February 8, 2026I have been with them for over 50 years and have only made one claim, so my experience has been good. However, I feel that the price is getting high, especially since I haven't had a claim in 40 years.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on February 2, 2026Too expensive, but they are very good at processing claims. Very dependable.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on January 29, 2026USAA 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.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on January 27, 2026Pricey increases annually, especially in home coverage.
