Seeking the Best Price with USAA
I have been with USAA for over 60 years. I have been very happy with their service and have no intention of leaving. However, as I am not using my car as much as I used to and have never had a ticket, I am looking to get a lower price for my auto insurance. I keep seeing notices that suggest I should be able to get a much lower price than I am currently paying.

The representative performed well, but USAA needs to reconsider and significantly lower their rates. They are not the Nieman Marcus of insurance.

Sharing My Experience with You
I have been with USA for more than 60 years. I am very happy with them. I had my car and my home insured for all of that time. I drive very little anymore, certainly well under 50 miles a day. I see ads for much lower rates and I was just looking to see if there are lower rates out there and if USA would give me a lower rate. I have no plans to change my insurance.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I had a terrible claims experience with them. They did nothing to compensate for their poor handling of my claim; in fact, they increased my premium even more. The claim was for a 'hit-and-run' while my car was parked outside a house and I was in the backyard. It was broad daylight, around 12:43 pm; I had parked at 12:41 pm, which means I barely made it out of the car in time to avoid being hit by this vehicle. I was not at fault. USAA increased my monthly premium by over $100 each 6-month renewal period. I never planned to ever leave USAA in my life. But, honestly, the lack of addressing my terrible claims experience, during which they left my claim open and unattended, was disappointing. My entire claims payment/appraisal process required to complete the repairs on my Infiniti Q50 (around $14,000 in the end) was just sitting there, basically on hold for no reason. When I politely asked for answers to my specific questions regarding why my premium has more than doubled in the past 3-4 years, it seemed like they were trained not to give specific answers related to 6-month auto premium increases.

Being charged $568 per month for insurance is insane. None of your representatives could provide my mother and me with any valid answers to our questions. How can our insurance go up from $238 per month two years ago to over $400 last year and now $568? We were clearly being over-insured for no reason. I was very offended that in order to get any break on my insurance, I would have to have my privacy invaded by a device that tracks my every move while I'm driving. My mom is 85 and has been a customer of yours since she was in her 20s. It's sad that your company cannot retain a customer who has been so loyal in every way, having all of her services through you including house, banking, etc. Despite my dad being in the merchant marines, I feel I was treated poorly by your staff who gave me very poor explanations for why our insurance had almost tripled in two years without any reason. I didn't have an accident. The customer service was really poor and I spoke to three different people and no one could really answer any of my questions. One representative even suggested that if I get OnStar, I would save one penny. Is that supposed to be an attractive solution? You need better trained staff who know what they're talking about, know how to answer the hard questions, and know how to investigate things that just don't look or sound right. Do better, USAA. Love, Jaqi. I have also been a USAA member since I was 15.

I had to make two claims in two weeks due to unforeseen circumstances. Had I only had issues with one of the claims, I would have thought nothing of it. However, it has been nothing but a headache from the beginning of the claim process to now, over two months later, for both vehicles. Oh yes, and they are still not fixed.

I've been with them for seven years. In September, I notified them of my move to Alabama, which I thought would trigger a correction in my insurance records to reflect my new location. After paying three months of premiums based on Florida rates, I realized they were overcharging me by $100 per month. I believe they should have adjusted my premium, but they didn't. I felt deceived by them!
