- Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on May 11, 2026Pretty good, but still way too expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on May 7, 2026They are great. Bundling everything keeps costs low, and the satisfaction of having everything with good customer service is top tier. Sometimes they aren't the cheapest, but it's worth it most times.Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on May 5, 2026Customer service is excellent. However, it is expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in California on May 5, 2026Move 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.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on May 5, 2026It was a great experience talking with one representative and getting a clear picture about my house and car insurance.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on May 4, 2026I really don't have any experience with my car insurance as I haven't needed to file a claim yet. However, I am a property adjuster and never stop hearing and seeing firsthand the way policyholders are handled out in the field. 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.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on May 2, 2026I went with John, who helped me with everything. Outstanding job, well done!Verified ReviewReviewed in South Carolina on May 2, 2026They are great! I don't have a bad thing to say about them. I just wish that the price of insurance, whether with them or someone else, would be cheaper.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on May 11, 2026Completed a 5-year surcharge. Now I have accident forgiveness. To this day, I am unable to get a fair premium not only from my insurance company but any other carrier because they want to penalize me for the surcharge that I just completed.Verified ReviewReviewed in Ohio on May 9, 2026Insurance is a racket. No car? Need a non-driver's policy, otherwise the gap in insurance is held against you and comes with obnoxiously high rates. Bad credit? For some reason, it's viewed as a high risk and means obnoxiously higher rates. Why the premium on a 14-year-old Audi was $180/month for full coverage for someone with no points is beyond me. If anything, the premium should have gone down due to continued depreciation (i.e., replacement cost goes down).Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on April 27, 2026If 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.Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on April 27, 2026Rates increased, and there were no significant discounts after the initial activation of the auto policy.Verified ReviewReviewed in Hawaii on April 20, 2026Not much on discount concerning age of auto, no DUI, tickets, no accidents, and senior citizen.Verified ReviewReviewed in Michigan on April 19, 2026The insurance rates are getting too expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Nevada on April 11, 2026My premium keeps increasing by $40 to $50 every six months. I feel like I am being taken advantage of due to my age.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on April 1, 2026Too expensive for being a customer for over 5 years.

- Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on May 2, 2026Excellent options and service, but continue to check options that may be cheaper.Verified ReviewReviewed in Mississippi on April 30, 2026The lady I talked to was very knowledgeable, patient, and professional in every way. The only problem I have with all insurance companies is that I can’t drop comprehensive insurance without dropping collision. It seems like a tactic by insurance companies to take more money from people who don’t need comprehensive coverage. I’ve lived in my house for 20 years, and the chances of my car getting stolen are really slim. There are no trees close enough to fall on and destroy my car. I live in the city and seldom drive at night, so my chances of hitting a deer are very slim. My car is completely paid for and not financed, so why can’t I drop comprehensive coverage? I don’t need it and haven’t for a long time!Verified ReviewReviewed in Tennessee on April 23, 2026USAA has been absolutely amazing when it comes to auto insurance!Verified ReviewReviewed in California on April 21, 2026Rates are too high for Tesla vehicles, otherwise excellent.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on April 12, 2026USAA was the perfect fit for me. They had lower rates than any other agency. I’m retired and like to have lower rates because I drive 1,000 miles per year. So, I’ll stay with USAA as long as they are the best for people who drive less than working people.Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on April 11, 2026Great, no problems thus far.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on April 6, 2026Very good, however, the premiums are high. I haven’t looked at premiums for quite some time though.Verified ReviewReviewed in Georgia on March 24, 2026Outstanding customer service, but the price got too high.Verified ReviewReviewed in Oregon on May 3, 2026When 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. However, in the last few years since they have brought on their CEO, the cost of having USAA insurance has no benefit to it whatsoever. They still have good customer service, but on the financial side, they have gotten overly greedy.Verified ReviewReviewed in Illinois on April 29, 2026Way too expensive for someone of my age (71) who drives about 5 miles per week, if at all. No tickets or accidents in 5 years or more.Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on April 22, 2026Inflexible, non-thinking, non-service providing, borderline rude agents. There was a discrepancy in driving history due to identity theft. I collected and presented my actual clear, clean official notarized history from the DMV, advising them their info was in error. I was blown off. Always looking to be cost-efficient; however, customer-centric businesses are more deserving of anyone's time and patronage. Three other companies I've inquired about caught the error and were able to provide realistic, competitive quotes.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on March 24, 2026The car insurance is very expensive. It is good insurance if you can afford it, but I am getting to where I can no longer afford it. I am looking around now for good insurance that I can afford and not break the bank. USAA is very good, but it's just too expensive for me.Verified ReviewReviewed in Montana on March 6, 2026Very good, reliable, steady.Verified ReviewReviewed in Louisiana on February 28, 2026You 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.Verified ReviewReviewed in New Jersey on February 17, 2026Very unhappy. I've been with the company for years. I get no discount, and I don't think they help veterans with their high rates. I am getting lower quotes from everybody else.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on February 10, 2026I have had no claims, so there is no new information to share.

I have only had to use it once for an accident, but USAA was so helpful.

And the rate is better than any other has offered.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on March 18, 2026If you qualify, get USAA.Verified ReviewReviewed in South Dakota on March 18, 2026I have had no coverage issues.Verified ReviewReviewed in Oregon on March 16, 2026Two accidents in the last 18 months - USAA has been very supportive, timely, and understanding. Staying with them.Verified ReviewReviewed in California on March 14, 2026They are excellent and I understand they are the cheapest. Over the years, many companies called with quotes, but none were cheaper than USAA.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 Georgia on April 28, 2026I was a victim of a hit and run. Due to the location of the damage, it was not discovered at the time it happened. When I submitted a claim for the issue, I found myself being questioned multiple times, seemingly to try to find cause to refuse my claim and not pay out. Then, upon review of my auto and home coverage, I found several key items of coverage completely missing or with an outrageous deductible.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on April 27, 2026Good but high premiums.Verified ReviewReviewed in Oklahoma on April 25, 2026Excellent service but very pricey.Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on April 23, 2026I expected to have fair treatment. All they do is raise prices. I strip down coverage, but it isn't too long before it is right back up. I have a spotless record that gives me nothing!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 Kentucky on March 12, 2026Ussa is outstanding insurance but too expensive.

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 Georgia on February 23, 2026Response to incidents is great. Prices continue to rise, making people look for alternatives.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.
