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.

Experience with USAA Auto
USAA is the best bank I've ever worked with. Their insurance is great, and they even provide dividends, which no other insurance I've been with has done. I'm constantly comparing USAA and Progressive to find savings on car insurance. I'm pleased with the company and would recommend it to anyone.

USAA is great for auto insurance
I had a great experience with USAA. However, their rates gradually increased over time without any clear justification. We were with them for over a decade. They offer the best customer service and claims handling I've experienced.

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.

Age, years of coverage without claims, and loyalty don't count anymore!
After 60 plus years, I am disappointed in the service and value today. I know at 85 I am a higher risk, but they have done nothing to offer alternatives, just increased costs.

They are stellar at handling claims! However, their prices have recently skyrocketed. The insurance on my home has more than doubled over the past few years, which may force me to sell.

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.

They Did Not Handle My Claim Fairly
If you're black, they will not handle your claim fairly, especially on property claims.
James

My payment increased from $93 to $108. I don't understand why. I thought the longer the policy (in years), the lower it would go. I'm on a fixed income.

Troubles with USAA
Even though I've been with them for 18 years, I can't recommend them anymore. They resort to bait and switch tactics, and they don't tell you the truth. They even apply a surcharge when they assure you at the time of signing up for accident forgiveness that it will never be on your record.

I find USAA to be quite expensive, especially for someone like me who is on a fixed income. I can get the same coverage for both of my vehicles and my home for less money elsewhere. Moreover, the agents I've spoken with don't seem to listen to my concerns!

USAA is being outbid by other insurance companies
Less time waiting to talk to a human. More confidence with the cost of insurance compared to other companies. USAA has always been the best insurance, but with the current state of the economy, other companies are less expensive for the same coverage. Most of the older military retirees can no longer afford USAA and are looking for more reasonable prices.

No Customer Loyalty
I was with them for over 15 years. I forgot to update my credit card information and they didn't send any diligent letters or calls. They cancelled my policy and when I started it again the very next day, my rates doubled. There seems to be no customer loyalty.

The service was very poor. They sent my check to a bank I no longer use, and that was my food money. They said I might get it in 90 days. They were supposed to mail it to my home address. I'm very upset and will be looking for new insurance after my house is fixed.

Laborious, Cumbersome, Frustrating
The claims process has become unbearable. Despite having full coverage, I had to hire an attorney to get the repairs approved.

Unhappy with USAA
My rate went from just under $700 for 6 months to over $1400 for the same period! They track your every move, and not very accurately at that. They penalize you for heavy braking, even if you're stopping for a red light, or using the in-car answering system for your phone. All of this affects your discount for the next 6 months. Despite being a US Army Veteran, I get no breaks on my discount.

Issues Encountered with USAA
A few years ago, a minor male bicyclist collided with my car, which my wife was driving at the time. She was leaving a large intersection with a green light when the bicyclist, who was riding in a pedestrian lane, appeared from behind a stopped box truck that obscured his approach. The local police department in Belmont, MA, was called and the Traffic Control Officer wrote up the accident report, clearing my wife of any responsibility. I forwarded this report to USAA. However, when I applied for increased motor vehicle insurance coverage about a year later, I was denied. USAA cited the accident with the bicyclist as a chargeable accident against my wife, despite the police report, and they had never informed us about this. I was never able to resolve this issue. Another incident occurred on December 14, 2023. I wired $60,000 to USAA for a 7-month CD and received a receipt acknowledgment. However, on the same day, the deposit was withdrawn without any direct notice to me, except for a normal monthly bank statement reflecting the withdrawal without any explanation in mid-January. It took about 9 days for USAA to resolve the issue and return the $60,000. This was a very stressful 9 days for me, and I never received an apology or explanation. Trying to reach someone with authority through numerous phone calls was literally impossible. It took a two-page business letter with 7 enclosures to get the CEO's right-hand woman to take action and return the $60,000 to my credit union. As for insurance rates, we own, register, and insure two cars that are driven about 10 miles per week on average, sometimes 100 miles on a Saturday to visit our daughter. However, it seems that we do not receive any discount for this.
