USAA Insurance Cost
It's expensive for one person who has never had an accident. I've been with them since 1972. I live in town and drive 12 miles a week.

I've been a member since the 60's and have made several claims on homeowners and auto insurance. I couldn't find a better insurance company than USSA.

Service Provided
USAA is an excellent insurance company. They ensure that you are well taken care of and are fully satisfied with their service. Their customer service is very caring and always provides the best care. Today, I called because I had questions about my policies and I connected with a very caring and knowledgeable person named Paul. He ensured that I was satisfied and happy with the service provided by USAA. Thank you very much, Paul. You certainly are a great asset to your employer.

Excellent service, good coverage, okay discounts, and the price could be better.
The service has been excellent. The cost of the insurance could be better, but everything else has been good.

USAA - 5 Star Insurance
Great coverage, but more affordable options do exist.
Eric
Verified Review
USAA
The technology and app are disappointing. The app often freezes or fails to load a page as needed. Recently, the website locked my account for no apparent reason. The company seems to be growing too large and straying from its original core values of serving military members. In my opinion, they spend too much money on celebrity advertising instead of reducing rates.

Nice but Becoming Unaffordable!
It's a great company with good coverage, but we are retired and living on a retirement budget. We are unable to continue with the recent premium increases. We need to reduce our expenses!

Be Aware, It Could Get Costly
I've been with USAA for a while and they were great in the beginning. However, after experiencing some misfortunes, including a few accidents - one of which was my fault, my insurance rates skyrocketed. I can no longer afford them, which is why I'm currently shopping for another insurance company.

Avoid Banking
The company is excellent for insurance, particularly home insurance. However, be very cautious with their banking services!

I paid less when I had my Prius than I do now. I haven't had any tickets or accidents in many years. I barely drive, except for going to the VA Hospital. My Chevy pickup stays in the building all the time. I don't drive more than 4,000 miles a year. I shouldn't have to pay so much.

I have had USAA banking and auto insurance for 20 years. I just changed my bank account and am now looking for new insurance. They used to be awesome and nobody could even make me think of switching, but it seems people these days don't care about good customers.

USAA Doesn't Treat Long-Time Customers Well
After being with them for over 40 years with no tickets or accidents, all they did was continue to raise my rates time after time. Unfair!
Anthony

Not worth the hype
Work better with your customers; don't just shut their insurance off. I thought mine was on auto-pay, but it wasn't. By the time I realized it, they had canceled my policy. Then, less than 30 days later, I called to get it reinstated, and it went up by $100 a month. Plus, nobody could help me, even though my husband asked them to add me to the account so I wouldn't have to verify every time.

Hopeless
I am a disabled veteran. I lost my phone and got a new number. I needed to adjust my policy and had forgotten my old phone number and password codes. They would not allow access to my account to make changes. It became a nightmare. Otherwise, they are a good company.

Bait and Switch at Its Worst
After receiving a quote of $54 for the first payment, and $40+ per month, Suzi insisted on 'reviewing' the answers I submitted online. She took this opportunity to add coverage I didn't request or want. When she finished, her offer was over $200/month. No thanks, 'Suzi'.

I give their customer support a thumbs down
They treat you like a fraudster with their pin and password, SS number verification. They are not very friendly either; they act like you are inconveniencing them and just want to go home at 5 pm. My anxiety increases when I call them.

I called customer service to inquire about the availability of additional discounts beyond the driving app. The individual who tried to answer my question seemed either clueless or was provided with poor information.

No Benefits from USAA
Look around for the quality service you want, not what they want you to take in their products, whether it's through credit card debt, home insurance, or loans for cars or homes.

Compliance with Florida Law
I recently sold my Lexus and attempted to remove it from my insurance policy. I was told that I first had to surrender the plates and registration, which I had already done in compliance with Florida law. I believe this should reduce my monthly insurance payment.

Left in the Cold After 56 Years
After 56 years of membership and multiple insurance policies including autos, home, rentals, and personal policies, I am treated like a bad risk. This is despite paying thousands of dollars a month for over fifty years.

Horrible
If you can't make your payment on time, they will charge you. I called to let them know that the day they had scheduled to take their payment did not coincide with my payday. It was two days later and they are going to charge me $15.00. I don't think so!

Disappointed with Overpriced Rates
USAA seems to inflate the replacement value of your home and charges a premium well above competitors' rates. At policy renewal time, my premium became price prohibitive, causing me to switch carriers for over a thousand dollars in savings. While this company is rated as number one by Consumer Reports, it's just too expensive.

Just Don't! Save Yourself!
Absolutely terrible. This company left me without a car for 8 months. They couldn't decide whether or not to total my car after it was already repaired. There were so many mistakes on their end and all I received at the end was a voicemail acknowledging their mistakes and an apology. This was literally the worst experience I've had with an insurance company. I'm traumatized!

They're okay, except for the constant increase in rates. Also, at the end of the year, they withdraw a larger amount without any explanation.

USAA's Lack of Loyalty
I would not recommend USAA. I have been with them since 2015 and have had my insurance on auto pay. However, since November, my payment was being declined due to 'no approval'. I did not receive a single call about this issue and only found out after the fact that my insurance was not active. As a long-time customer, I feel like I have been overpaying every month. My new insurance is half of what I was paying with USAA!
