    I wouldn’t buy from them. They have a late charge they don’t tell you about. If your insurance due date falls on a Saturday and you pay on Saturday, you’ll be charged a late fee because they won’t process the payment until Monday. I’d recommend purchasing from someone else.

    Why I am looking elsewhere.
    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. 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.

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.

    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.

    Receptionist is sweet but your policy needs improvement
    The 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!

    USAA penalizes you after an accident and finds a way to cancel your policy
    USAA is no longer my insurance. Conveniently, after I filed a claim when someone hit my car while it was parked, my policy was canceled without my knowledge. It was originally set up on autopay, and I’m not sure how that got dropped. Even if it did get dropped after the claim was filed, shouldn’t I have been informed that I needed to set up autopay again? This also cost me a suspension, a $150 reinstatement fee, and higher insurance costs because of the suspension. My premium was raised from $227 to $497 per month, which I refuse to pay, so I switched to a different carrier. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had with an insurance company. I had this insurance for more than a year, and the damages to my car were minimal at best.

Good but expensive
Pretty good, but still way too expensive.

All People Are Not Created Equal
If you have a spouse who is not in the military or a military dependent, they have to prove who they are. This requires sending in a driver’s license and scanning their face because they won’t have a profile.

Going to Switch After I Pay Off My Car
They keep raising the premium and have too much control over my driving—harsh braking alerts and no phone use, even though I have Bluetooth.

Will Van Ert Insurance Review
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.

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.

Usually disappointing
They claim to support veterans, but their prices are steep. I've experienced rate increases without explanation, despite having no tickets or moving violations.

USAA Not What It Used to Be
Subpar coverage and twice as much as others.

There are much better options out there and other companies will take better care of you.
Find someone else. They make it difficult for you to go through claims. I had them for 6 years and never needed to file a claim. The second I did, they made my process so difficult that I was forced to switch to another insurance company.
