USAA Top Shelf
After researching car insurance, USAA came out on top. The prices and the coverage can’t be beat, along with little extras like towing and rental car reimbursement. It’s the one you should pick first.

Great Insurance, Lousy Rates
I love the insurance, but we now pay double per month compared to what we did just 2 years ago (and we have clean records).

USAA is a Great Insurer
USAA has always been a great insurer. Currently, I feel their cost is on the high side, so I thought I'd view the competition.

USAA Competitive
First, not everyone can join USAA, but the pricing is very good. Today, I went to Farmers and it was eye-opening. Very happy with pricing and customer service.

Outrageous rates
We've been with USAA for well over 25 years and have never had a single claim. However, we're switching companies because their rates are outrageous. They don't even give a break to those of us who have never filed a claim!

Great Service, with a Price
Fantastic customer service, at the cost of higher premiums. They do offer refunds for loyalty, safe driving, and senior bonuses. Limited to military and their extended families.

High rates and hard to add discounts
They provide good services for auto insurance, but the homeowners' insurance never covered any issues I had. Customer service was better in the past. Now, they require the customer to take pictures of any damage, and they decide on reimbursement based on these pictures. Their rates have been increasing rapidly, and trying to add discounts has been difficult.

I Love USAA Insurance
I can always access my information on the app. If I ever need to call, the agents are always very friendly, professional, and helpful. My issues, concerns, or questions are always resolved in the first call. I love USAA, but unfortunately, I can only recommend it to those who have served or had parents that served in the military and were members of USAA.

USAA Review
The quality of the service/product has declined over the 40+ years I’ve had the coverage. However, the price has always been competitive, but the advantages are becoming less significant. I suspect that the increase in national advertising expenses, which was not a factor before, might be affecting the product's pricing. I used to utilize all USAA services like investing, credit cards, banking, and insurance. Now, I only use their banking and insurance services because of banking convenience and competitive insurance prices. The banking operations seem to become more miserly and fee-centric, especially with ATM fees. Considering there are no real branch banks, they should increase their ATM fee reimbursements.

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?

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 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.

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.

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.
