Auto Premiums Becoming Unaffordable for Senior Vets; Homeowners Insurance Not Direct
This company provided great car insurance for decades. However, increasing premiums have led me to start comparison shopping.

Difficult to Evaluate USAA
The auto and renter's policies are overpriced. There are no available optional policies for circumstances like low mileage driving in my state.

USAA Satisfaction Rating
Almost 100% of the staff members are very helpful and kind! I love that when you call about an event, the first thing they ask is, 'Are you okay?' It's also kind to receive a sympathy card from them. However, I don't understand why, just because my husband passed away and I am adding my name to the policy as his widow, I am being treated like a new policyholder. For home insurance, they are asking for pictures of the house and now demanding I get a new roof. It was fine before my husband passed away, so why is it a problem now? My bank was notified that my homeowners insurance was cancelled, which is incorrect. The name was just changed on the policy. We were married for almost 40 years when he passed, so why all these unnecessary difficulties?

Rating USAA Insurance Company
I have been with them for over 50 years and most of my dealings have been handled well.

Give Us a Break!
One would think that the length of time you have been with a company and the absence of any claims would result in better rates. However, USAA doesn't seem to offer much, if any, discount. Additionally, the car insurance is quite high when you have no claims. I just wish they could offer us a better rate.

Real Savings
I am paying $241 a month for a whole year, not just 6 months. I wanted a yearly rate for full coverage for my 2014 Chevy Impala and the least amount for my 2002 Acura MDX, which is driven less than 100 miles a month.

USAA Becoming Costly
I have been with USAA for many years. The customer service has been fantastic. Unfortunately, USAA has raised the premiums to very high levels, which forces me to look for price comparisons from other insurers.

Scammed by USAA with super high rates after years of loyal patronage
They start out with fairly reasonable pricing, then raise your premium payments to absurd levels. It's super expensive for loyal customers.

Why I am searching for new insurance
Everything was fine until this year's renewals came up. I'm 84 years old, never had an accident or ticket, and have been driving for 59 years. They doubled my insurance cost. The same happened with my household insurance; never a claim, yet they doubled it too. I served my country for 8 years and this is how we get treated?
Kevin

Beware
It's very frustrating! The best thing about them is their price. However, their security protocols are quite aggravating and their customer service is poor at best. Every time I call them and speak with a different person, I get a different answer. I have been with them for over 8 years and despite not having so much as a parking ticket, they have continually raised my rates. I am 64 years old with a very clean driving record, yet I am paying over $1200 a year.

Thinking About Going With USAA?
The commitment to service members, whether current or former, is overshadowed by their desire for profit.
Carrie

Disappointed with USAA
USAA required me to make an $880 deposit because I had several late payments. I was dealing with a personal situation, as I spent months caring for my sister who was battling ALS. I thought that USAA would show some compassion and understanding for my circumstances, but that was not the case. I initially believed USAA was better than other insurance companies, but this experience has left me disappointed. It's unfortunate that the human element seems to be missing.

Loyalty doesn't equal discounts
I thought USAA would offer bigger discounts to members who have been with them for a long time. I've been with them for 24 years and I'm still paying three times what other companies are offering me.

They overcharged me based on mileage. They claimed to have sent me information, which I never received as I was in the hospital and rehab center after suffering a stroke. They could have called me instead. There's nothing wrong with that approach.

USAA isn't a one-stop insurance company for my needs

Thanks for 40 years
Don't feel compelled to stay with USAA. This is not the same company I joined nearly 50 years ago. I'm willing to pay more for my insurance products, but I'm grateful for the experience.
Michael

I would recommend this service to a friend or another service member, but it didn't do much for us except charge a lot of money. I've been driving since I was 16 years old. My car broke down about a year ago and I thought there was no need to have insurance. That's what they're basing their rates on and it's quite expensive.

Unsatisfactory Banking Experience
They unexpectedly closed my account when I reported unauthorized activity. They said I could keep my insurance with them, but couldn't continue banking. It seems unfair that they are happy to take my hard-earned money for insurance, but don't provide a secure place for me to keep my money. I wouldn't recommend banking with them; consider Navy Federal instead.

Do not use USAA
I was with them for over a year. Every phone call I ever made to them took well over an hour. Their customer service representatives are rude. No matter how many times I verified my information, all my details ended up on my dad's account. I'm 47 years old and haven't lived with my dad since I was 6. Even when I had a claim, they put it under his insurance and then denied the claim because he told them he hadn't been involved in an accident. After I called to rectify the situation, they denied the claim anyway, even though they made the mistake. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Keep Shopping
Keep shopping for auto insurance. The current prices are ridiculously high and are getting higher for absolutely no reason. As a 30-year customer who has never had an accident or a claim of any sort, I find this unreasonable!

Need Better Rates
Somehow, I lost my discount app on my phone. I'm tired of escalating prices every year despite having no issues with the police and no accidents or claims. I thought I'd get better rates than the open market, but that's obviously not the case. Several companies are offering lower rates, although their coverage is not great. I'm really tired of paying for bad drivers.

When you pay your bill, expect the money to remain in your account for well over 5 days after payment.

Trust Issues
There's a trust factor, especially for senior citizens who are on a very low fixed income. You would expect that the rate you set for them would last at least for a 6-month policy period, not change every 90 days. There's absolutely nothing left after all monthly bills are met.

Veterans, Be Aware!
They increased my car insurance by $180 a month without any reason. Moreover, they charged me over $100 for canceling just 5 days after I refused to pay the new amount, which was $620 a month for 2 vehicles. This is not an appropriate way to treat disabled veterans.

Good and Bad!
They are good with my wife's policy, but for no apparent reason, they doubled my rate, stating that I had too many accounts. All of my accounts are paid through auto pay, and I haven't had any tickets or accidents for at least 40 years. Plus, I have more than enough income to cover all my debts.

Unfair
Don't get into an accident because even if it's not your fault, they will find some way to make it partially your fault so they don't have to cover your deductible.
