    Their insurers provide different names and add letters to their policy st they cannot be found when they are involved in accidents. Also USAA uses Arbitration Forum Inc - whose CFO and CEO - are former employees of USAA to make their insurers non guilty. This is a conflict of interest..But they have no shame. This is a biased and unfair process, it's like you go to court and your mother is the judge. They should be investigated for their practices as they have no values. I am fed up of injustice and discrimination.

    I have been separated from my military service for over 36 years and when I found out from friends that there was an insurance at a extremely affordable price for veterans I reach out for a quote and was overwhelmingly surprised at the quote. I immediately switched both of my vehicles to USAA and glad I did. I now save over 60% for insurance than I’ve ever paid. This is my gold mine and all I can say is I wish I have of known about this years ago and sorry to all those who are missing out. Thanks USAA.

    USAA is the most wonderful car insurance company because the subscribers are a select group who have served in the military and the agents are not on commission. I have excellent coverage and receive good guidance from agents when insuring a new vehicle. A subscriber savings account is also an advantage because each year I receive a dividend check.

    I'd been a Esurance customer for many years, and decided to compare companies in an effort to save money. Because of my Veteran status, I was able to get coverage from USAA, and now I save over $30 monthly versus Esurance. I recently was involved in a hit-run accident; no injuries. When I contacted USAA they immediately jumped into action. After describing the incident, they gave me a choice of repair facilities; recommended or I could choose my own. I went with one of their choices. Within an hour, I was contacted by the repair facility; set an appointment; provided pictures and description of damage. USAA also arranged a rental, sending the request directly to Enterprise. This accident occurred on 7-17; dropped the car off on 7-20. A completely stress-free experience.

Each time, they would recommend car repair company that they use, and as soon as the company heard me say USAA, I had their compete and devised attention. Since this company is made up of military people, and run primarily people, there is a mutual understanding, so we pull together for each other. Additionally, since I am a senior, and have been with them all these years, I received 2 different subscriber's checks every year. And finally, because of the Virus, and the shelter in place situation(a lot less driving), USAA is discounting the monthly premium each month.

    I was in an accident on 6/30/20. A driver ran a red light while I was making a left turn. He hit my front passenger side bumper causing considerable damage. When the accident occurred I was Door Dashing. My wife did the responsible thing and purchased an add on policy for Door Dashers. Now, you would THINK that you get more coverage the more money you pay, right? Not with USAA. Because I was delivering food to a client rather than on my way to pick it up, they DENIED everything. We also paid for an uninsured driver add on to our policy. ALL of this was denied due to the small window between driving to pick up food and delivering it. Basically, I'm being punished for telling the truth. Had I lied about Door Dashing or just forgot to mention it, I'd be covered. Stay away from USAA!! THEY ARE TERRIBLE.

    It goes like this: - got into a minor fender bender that caused some slight superficial damage, but nothing else. Police on scene deemed the vehicle to be road safe and fine, and let us go without a problem. - Filed claim, didn't expect anything (no coverage for vehicle collisions). - Several days later hit a deer. The car is totaled, the car can't drive, the axle is bent, the lights are smashed and out, and the car won't start without screeching and smoking even when stationary. Filed a claim (I DID have animal collision coverage), police report, and had it towed to the shop.

    - The autobody shop takes a look and immediately say it's totaled and that the deer collision is responsible. - USAA says they won't pay anything because they have "no way" of knowing what damage is from the fender bender and which is from the deer collision. - When pressed, USAA admits that they didn't even talk to the autobody shop or get a police report from either incident. (Despite initially saying they had done both: had to call the police and shop myself to check, and neither had been asked for anything from usaa save for a small statement from the shop saying it was totaled).

    - When confronted with their blatant lie (and me telling them that clearly, the damage that rendered it undriveable and not road safe MUST have happened after the police deemed it fine to keep driving during the fender bender) they agree to send someone out to inspect the car. - Guy comes out and takes pictures. Nothing else. Doesn't start the car, doesn't inspect the twisted axle, inspects nothing functional. - Weeks later get another report saying that USAA still won't pay because they still have "no way" of telling whether the totaling occurred due to the deer or the fender bender.

    - They have still not gotten a detailed report of damages and cause of damages from the autobody shop (I called the shop directly and asked). They still have not gotten the police report from the deer crash. They have still not done anything aside from take a few pictures. - Immediately dropped USAA. If you want a company that actually ATTEMPTS to try to do their job, I advise you do the same.

    It really breaks my heart to give USAA such a low star. Goodness, I remember the days are used to brag about how great their service was. They are now switch and bait company. Only for profit. They will only tow you 11 miles if you purchase their towing insurance. I have literally paid them Approximately 8,000 a year for the last 25 years. I have never filed a claim on my renters insurance, my homeowners insurance or my auto insurance policies. The only Service I have ever received from my loyalty, has been a handful of tow service is over the years. Typically a tow services over the years standardly, a tow policy will cover from 50 miles to 100 miles depending on how good the policy is.

    The other night I need to tow my vehicle 28 miles and they would not authorize the tow!!! I just can’t believe it after how much money I paid them that when I’m stressed out stranded on the side of the road, they couldn’t even cough up $100. Unfortunately, They also higher scrupulous tow companies who have less than two stars to give their clients service!?? I have had bad experience after bad experience last couple years and I have finally let them go.

    Don’t ever even attempt to submit an auto claim to USAA if you are not insured through their company. They will do a perfunctory at best review of your information (they did not ask me for photos nor did they even have a copy of the actual police report) and actually had multiple facts of the accident in which I was involved incorrect. They will refuse to have a second adjuster review your claim if you don’t agree with their initial decision. Horrible experience with this company overall and I can’t imagine how they would treat actual customers. What a joke.

    USAA Insurance is a scam, they do the Bait and Switch. Give you a low quote and then after you sign up they hit you with a major increase in the price they quoted you. You ask them nicely for help and they nicely tell you where to go. They tell you "O' the rep shouldn't have said that," or, "The rep was wrong in telling you your rate could go up".

    BS, I specifically asked for a quote based on my current auto policy with a surcharge compared to USAA quote. Told this was it, then later told, "Nope, that price didn't include the surcharge." Which is it USAA? Why would I ever leave my current insurance company to pay almost a $1K more? So you baited me with a lower price, I switched my account to you and then you say, "Not so fast, this is going to actually cost you more." You honestly think I'm going to stay with a company that lies to me? USAA, "we serve veterans". Not this veteran. USAA is not a very honorable company. They deserve a dishonorable discharge.

Subsequently I called back with the number, and spoke to a Brandon ** who advised he already had his social security number, but that I needed to provide his DD214 or his USAA number. I advised him that another representative already found his USAA number, and asked for a supervisor. Brandon refused to transfer me to a supervisor, and said there is nothing more they could do.

Sent in all the DD214 documents and signed up for auto and homeowners insurance January 24, 2020 when I was told DD214 info received and now eligible. Despite it was $400-500 more/year total it was more coverage. About 5 weeks ago my daughter called in to inquire and advised "your mother needs to call sooner than later" but couldn't advise why. It's now May 15. I have been uploading and faxing info over since that time as well as over a dozen calls. He has been DEAD since 2/10/20 and they are now asking to either "speak to him" or send a "COLORED, FRONT/BACK" valid state ID or DL. He had dementia and hadn't had a license or state ID for years. Used his VA card for anything he needed.

    NOW, after all these months USAA is stating because my Dad didn't contact them before February 5, (noting he died on February 10th) we are ineligible. That just is not right! USAA already signed me up January 24, 2020 WHEN they had eligibility verified. I left Progressive after 15 years.

After being late, I think 3x, they said I had to pay my bill in full, and not monthly increments. Cool, whatever, stupid idea that no one else ever did if I was late, but whatever, my own fault and beside the point. I tried to get them a year or two later just because I was looking around and they were the cheapest. No go, I had to pay 900 up front. Back then I couldn't do that.

    Fast forwarded to 2019. I try 'em again after reopening my bank account with them (because they are the worst in banking too). They let me go back to normal and pay a monthly amount for insurance. Cool! So I tell them go ahead and do autopay this time to avoid any issues like the first time. Coolsies! By the second payment they screwed up my insurance autopay. They were able to charge me a fee I owed and the first month no problem, but after recouping the bill they had with me, I guess autopay was too hard. So now they want insurance payment in full and I get a letter from the DMV saying I don't have insurance.

    USAA is the worst. My account has been hacked twice, the first time they kept me out of my own bank account while hackers emptied it out, and this time they can't even figure out how to keep autopay on I guess.

    First, I must state I am a 50 year customer of USAA. Realistically, USAA only exists now for the benefit of its upper management. Being a “member” ended some 35-40 years ago. Today, you are only a customer, nothing more. USAA’s customer service actions and policies are dictated by its accountants and attorneys. Taking it a step further, Cust. Svc. Reps. have no authority to settle even the simplest of matters, managers are impossible to get ahold of (and do not, and will not, call you back within the CS representatives offered 24 to 48 hours!) and upper management hide in their ivory tower impossible to contact or reach.

    Interestingly enough, USAA could save its customers some policy premium costs if it would cease the expensive TV ads falsely extolling its trustworthiness, virtues, services and concern for its customers. All these TV ads do is expand the customer base and in turn, increase upper management’s salaries and bonuses. Sad but true!

Horrible experience, eventually they agreed (sadly) that the truck was totaled and gave us a ridiculous "fair market value" for the vehicle.

    I have no problem with FMV but they use a outside service called CCC - bottom line, their comps were two thousand dollars below the value of the truck, even KBB private party values, and 5-6 thousand less than any retail truck available to buy. It is a truly long story, but I can assure you they do not care about their policy holders. They even had the nerve to try to sell me FMV "plus" add on to our policy to pay more (20% more) in case of a total loss.

    My truck crushed with a car flying off the freeway 5:00 in the morning on February/15/2020 while it was parked in the street. Since I didn't have full coverage on my truck (collision), I had to follow up with the other party's insurance to collect my damages. My truck was totaled and sitting in the tow yard. At the beginning every thing was going smooth. I've got the other driver's insurance info and claim number from my insurance company. Their auto insurance was with USAA. I've contacted the adjuster Fredrick ** and he promised an easy process (claim number **). I even went to CHP to pick up the accident report myself to speed up the process. I went to tow truck yard and paid them the tow fee and gave them the truck's title to wave any storage fee by Fredrick's approval. I sent them everything via email and the link they provided me. They even sent me an estimate for my damages.

    After a couple of weeks of not hearing from them, I found out that Fredrick is not handling the case anymore. Amanda ** was the new adjuster which no one had notified me. Here the drama have been started. Amanda has a really bad attitude, I've been able to talk to her only a couple of times since she never answers her phone. I called their client to find out about her recovery (she was badly injured) and also mention that her insurance is playing around and they are not working on my case. Amanda called me a couple of weeks later and asked me in a very rude way to not communicate with their client and I told her that it's not her business. I call anyone I want at anytime I want.

    To this date which I'm writing this review (04/07/2020), I haven't received a penny and their excuse now is waiting for Caltrans bill for damages the accident caused to the fence and freeway post. The other screwed up part about this company is the way they communicate. They send me emails but I can't reply. I've called their customer service a few times about the process of my claim because Amanda doesn't want to communicate. They tell me a totally different story comparing to Amanda. It's so off the course that every time I called them Amanda sends me an email right away dismissing her co-workers response and email. Like I mentioned by this date it's almost 2 month since the accident happened and I haven't received any thing for my losses.

    We joined USAA in 1991 when we were in Puerto Rico. My insurance agency wouldn’t insure our car there, so we joined USAA and purchased car insurance with them. Towards the end of my tour, we ordered a new car from the on base overseas car buying program. In 10 minutes, I was able to call, get preapproved, and the fax sent was sent to the office that did the overseas car buying program. We were super impressed. Over time, we moved all our financial products over to USAA. The only thing I wasn’t that happy with was their investments, but we tried them out and also retained a financial advisor.

    We both thought the service at USAA was consistently outstanding and we felt happy and fortunate to be USAA members. Over time their customer service started to fall. During the same time, they started to grow by changing the requirements to join USAA. While they grew incrementally, they grew too fast and they for the past several years they have been unable to deliver good quality customer service and it continues to get worse. Their customer service went from outstanding to terrible across all areas.

    We have 4 insurance policies with them, a couple checking and savings accounts, a credit card account, and a money market fund. I am closing all the accounts and moving away from them. I closed 3 bank accounts today and it will probably take me 2 months before everything including the insurance policies are transitioned away to ensure a smooth transition.

    If excellent service is important to you, read the other comments on the web. Everyone has different needs and price points so determine your needs are and what’s important to you. I can only speak for us, but that’s what our experience has been. I should have done this earlier – it would have saved a lot of time and frustration.

    It's really sad honestly.....I've had USAA Insurance for over 35 years. In the past I can easily say there was no finer company to do business with, they had my loyalty unquestionably. My understanding has always been the intent of the organization was to offer great insurance at a reasonable price to Veterans and their families. Over the last 5 years or so, I've seen their customer service decline, while at the same time, their rates going up. I recently purchased a new vehicle and when I went to add it to my policy (I'm 50's good driving record with, one minor fender bender, never totaled a car in my lifetime) they wanted to jack my policy up by over $1000.00. I shopped around with other very reputable insurance companies and found all were willing to insure me for 30-45% less (and yes with comparable coverage).

    I've seen lately that USAA has been advertising nationally on TV quite frequently. Makes me wonder. First, these advertising cost must obviously be driving up policy prices. Second, the company used to be so good that almost every veteran would insure with them, so with that kind of word of mouth, why the need to advertise so much? In my opinion USAA completely lost sight of their original mission and now they are simply another insurer that is focused on profits and not the Veterans they supposedly serve. Not surprisingly, CEO pay is on the rise as well with USAA's CEO taking home over 4.2 million last year alone. At the end of the day, this used to be a company I bragged about. Now, I'm afraid they lost their way and as a result are rapidly losing long time members like me for good.

    This may have been true in the past. I had been with USAA for almost 20 years with only 3 major claims (and none on the 3 homes I have owned with their home owner's insurance. I was involved in a hit and run at the hospital I worked at (happens at least monthly to all of us). The investigator came a week and a half later to ask what parking spot I was in and I told them what I thought (who can remember in a HUGE lot even the same day!). The one camera on a shed happened to show only that exact spot and turns out I was wrong. The investigator also went to my auto repair shop and told the manager he thought I was, "making up stories." VERY unprofessional. The auto shop called me and told me they thought it looked like classic hit in a parking lot.

    They told me that USAA has been very problematic to death with in recent years and to get AAA or Travelers. Also my EDR showed NO crashes which USAA could not explain how this damage would have happened if I was not in motion and hit something causing this much damage. I tried to get ahold of my investigator who told me he would return calls and did not (I had important additional info). They apologized for the way it was handled but did nothing because they had closed the case. Then they canceled my plan. I received NO letter just a check with a remaining monthly balance so I called and the girl took 10 minutes to figure out why. She then told me it would be cancelled in 5 days.

    I told her I never received a letter and then received one 3 days later with a BACKDATED letter (was stamped to mail out 5 days after letter date). When I tried to log on to my USAA it told me my access has been restricted. I still have a home owner's plan with them and all the legal back and forth communication is now restricted to me. Then they sent a letter telling me I still have to pay $865 for my next premium of 6 months regardless of cancellation. I've never been as stressed or had to deal with with a company I've trusted for so long like this. It's actually unbelievable. DO NOT get USAA.

    Going thru a Separation and merely called to INQUIRE about my coverage and status and got asked a series of questions WITHOUT being informed that my answers would cause COVERAGE IMPLICATIONS...Apparently INFORMED CONSENT does not apply in Insurance, only health care. After answering questions related to our separation and where we each reside TEMPORARILY, I learn that since I am not the Primary (essentially not the breadwinner) that only my car is covered but NO LONGER ARE MY BELONGINGS (even though I have a JEWELRY rider on the account)...typical, you pay for something and then they bag it when there is any concern or issue, no claim, just a temporary living change. AND now any passenger in MY car that is covered is not protected, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR IT for years (so WITH a TEMPORARY change non-breadwinner/primary is NOT COVERED).

    Now that's justice, especially since the Primary BreadWinner is the Liar and Cheat and continues to possess Control over the abused/separated...Way to go USAA/Insurers--perpetuating the cycle of abuse. I do not understand how you pay for something and it is no longer valid? Why can a member not call in to learn about changes or implications. ONE SHOULD BE INFORMED of any STATUS IMPLICATION before making that determination. So the answer is DO NOT CALL IN FOR INQUIRY OR TO SIMPLY ASK QUESTIONS because they are not interested in your humanity, only your money.

    I am not a USAA member, but was hit by one. He backed into my legally parked car in a parking lot. USAA first claimed that they could not sent an adjuster to go inspect the damage for an estimate for an entire week (which is ridiculously long). Nine days after this, I called the body shop to check the status. They told me USAA had not sent anyone out yet and were not planning on coming until two days after they had originally said they could. Because of this, the body shop asked if they could simply take pictures (which USAA already had) and send an estimate. USAA agreed to this, and the body shop was able to finish my repairs.

    When I called USAA to double check payment, they told me that they were sending me a check to reimburse me, and I would have to pay the body shop myself. This is ridiculous--- I can't afford to pay thousands of dollars in repairs. This is what the insurance is for, and they had accepted full fault for the accident. I asked why they could not pay the body shop directly, and they claimed that they did not have the complete information of the body shop--which is also untrue, as not only did I give them the details more than a week ago, but they have also been in direct contact with the body shop multiple times and could have gotten any information they needed.

    Additionally, they claimed to have sent an adjuster to look at my car and get an estimate--which they never did, according to the body shop (which has no reason to lie). They told me they sent a check three days ago which has not yet arrived, and I have sincere doubts that it ever will. In the meantime, I have no way to pay for my repairs. They told me they could cancel the check to me and pay the body shop directly, but it would take several weeks. NEVER EVER DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. If you are hit by one of their members, my sincerest apologies, and I urge you to suggest strongly to that person that they change insurance companies as well. They will get screwed.

    Halfway through making a left turn, from the main roadway, USAA's insured driver, stopped at a stop sign, decides to pull out and T-bone me. He admitted fault at the scene and, according to the USAA adjuster, admitted fault to USAA. Here's the kicker. SOMEHOW, I was found to be 20% at fault by USAA, due to "not trying to avoid the accident". WHAT?!?!! How does one avoid an accident they don't see coming? I only have liability, and they knew that, so they swindled me out of any compensation. In the state of Maryland, if either driver is found to be liable for ANY percentage of an accident, NEITHER insurance company has to pay for the "other" driver.

    I've heard so many bad things about this company, over the last month I've been fighting with them, it makes my head spin to think they're still in business. I understand that they aren't here to hand out money, but this is an immoral company, lacking the clarity to do what's right. I hope people wake up to their behavior and stop using their services.

    Four people at USAA stated they would consider our evidence that we could not have been responsible for the accident if we provided measurements to show our front end is NOT narrower than the side fenders (Where the damage occurred). They were claiming that their client had a door open which we ran into... But pictures show there is NO damage to our front end. They claimed our front end is narrower than the side fenders. Our claim is that their client opened the door as we passed by.

    Our contact person Heather **, another agent Wesley **, another who only gave a first name - Victoria. The said the would send instructions to their repair shop... But when we took the vehicle to them, they did not have the instructions. The second time, they sent instructions to only measure the width at the side fenders. The last time I called, Ursula clearly stated that we shouldn't bother going back to get the right measurements because there was no way in hell they would reopen the claim to consider any evidence. And if we didn't like it... sue them. They were going to take the word of their client over any evidence to refute their client!!

    Update: Even though my experience was as stated before. I have since had another claim and it went better. Not great like before but better. This claim was for the theft of items from my storage unit. I was informed by someone that owns a storage facility. That home owners will not cover the unit and that only renters insurance would. I was surprised to find that USAA home owners insurance did indeed cover the items I had stolen. This was a large unit and had several thousand dollars worth of items stolen. They covered it and paid but held a depreciated amount and would pay that as I replaced the items. It wasn’t extremely smooth but enough so that I am glad I didn’t leave USAA?

    Original Review: March 6, 2020

    I have been with USAA for over 25 years. In the beginning they were less expensive than all other insurance companies and provided better service. I stopped using them a few years ago because they got so expensive but I came back because the few times I had a claim. Things went so smoothly and other companies had to be fraught with. Figured it was worth the extra month.

    Now since I returned about 2 years ago. Things have not been as I described above. I had a hail damage claim that took 10 months of back and for to get resolved. So the claim experience has been nothing like it was 10 years ago. My auto insurance premium has increase 60% over the last 18 months. No claims with USAA on auto in many years.

    I find it strange that the insurance industry can function under a socialist form of business. Like no other industry in the country and contrary to the way our country is designed. If 50% of the people in my state that are cover by USAA have a claim. My insurance premium goes up and makes me covering for their mistake or accidental. They claim you have accident forgiveness but this doesn’t apply when your neighbor has one. You can go years with no accidents but if several in your community have a claim. Their accident is forgive but pasted on to you. USAA takes this socialism approach to a new level. I am starting a search fo a new company to insure everything I have. Customer beware.

    Hello to all. I hope this comment finds you and finds you well. Where do I even begin to start on explaining what I have been through from these people? I wish I could have given zero Stars. I am writing to all the people that are looking for services with USAA so you DO NOT have to suffer like I am with this company. Also, I would like to state that I am 100% accurate on everything I am going to say here! To start, I am a disabled combat veteran who has been nothing but a good customer with this company. I've been with USAA as a customer for about 10 years now. I have not cost this company a single cent in auto claims since I've started with them. I have wasted hours of precious time on the phone with them over the years because they can't get simple tasks right that I have asked. All I would simply ask is to mail me a paid in full receipt when I pay my policy in full (proof that it was paid) and to mail me my insurance cards.

    (The ridiculous excuse I get about mailing me a paid in full receipt is: this is not something we normally do and due to the technology many people are on computers nowadays that's why I get my insurance cards emailed to me.) These things that I've stated here were just the beginning of a nightmare for me that I didn't know was waiting to happen. This experience I will explain next is the most recent experience that I've had with USAA Representatives as well as with Hugo ** who is a team member for the CEO's office. On January 29th 2020, I spoke to Valerie ** for almost an hour and a 1/2 about changing my address as well as changing my renters insurance to my new address. This person works with auto insurance and renters insurance. On that day, on a recorded line, I was specifically told that my insurance was going to go down due to my ZIP code change and I would receive a check in the mail.

    I was shocked because unfortunately, this company raised my insurance about $150.00 in the last two-and-a-half years or so without costing them a single cent in claims as I said earlier. One morning I went downstairs to check my mailbox and what do I find? A bill from USAA! For $45.40. Not surprised with this company! When I called to ask what it was I was told after being on the phone in one day for 4 hours and 15 minutes or so that It was duplicate paid amount for the combined services I have with them. I was told that not only did my insurance not go down but that I had to pay the bill for $45.40 and I was FORCED to cash the check for $45.40 which was negligence on USAA'S part for the duplicate payment! I already paid my auto policy and renters insurance in full January 14th 2020 as it shows on my statement.

    I reached out to the CEO's office to explain this and Hugo ** was the one handling this investigation as part of the CEO's team. February 27th 2020, I spoke to Hugo and I specifically explained to Hugo the negligence of not getting my insurance cards to me, the duplicate payment which they FORCED me to pay back which should have been corrected on their part in the first place instead of blindsiding me with a bill in the mail, and the reduced insurance check I was supposed to receive due to a zip code change. Hugo was not helpful at all and didn't address the main reason why I reached out to the CEO's office and that was about him "backing" it up is what I stated verbatim to him about honoring what the previous representative said I was going to receive, reduction in my insurance, and the check.

    By the way ladies and gentlemen, Hugo also heard this on a recorded line as he told me and his only response was it was incorrect about what the previous representative told me. I explained to Hugo that I will try one more time and if I could speak to Wayne Peacock who is the CEO of USAA and he stated "I am afraid that would not be possible" Stuart Parker's signature is on the check that should have not been sent out in the first place. This is the customer service I received after giving this company 10 years of my money.

    To all those that may be wondering what excuse I got on why insurance goes up, I was told the state raises it. Well guess what ladies and gentlemen? The company still does not have to raise your auto insurance. (As I was told by a USAA representative). I find it ridiculous and absurd for the people that are not costing USAA a single cent in claims and giving them thousands of dollars in business like myself and this company has the audacity to cost people extra money to cover THEIR cost. I would definitely think twice or maybe three times before you do business with this company. To all that took the time to read this, thank you! I hope this helps all the people who are looking for nothing but the best. Truly yours.

    I have had USAA auto insurance for almost 50 years, and my parents had it before that. My husband and I are currently looking for another insurance company due to shoddy customer service that has increasingly gotten worse. A car backed into mine in a parking lot, after I had fully pulled out of my stall (submitted photos clearly show this) and was preparing to move ahead. The arbitrator USAA hired to evaluate the incident declared a 50/50 fault, despite the evidence to the contrary, and using reasons that made no sense based on the photos.

    USAA did not notify me of this decision until five months after it had been made, when we finally made an inquiry. Even though the company representative agreed with me, those "higher up" only indicated that arbitration decisions were binding (apparently even if unfair) and refused to rectify or even apparently to consider the situation. If this is the way they value my decades of loyalty to their company, I no longer value them.

    I had been with USAA for 20 years. Had my checking, savings, auto and renters insurance and 2 credit cards with them. I work in the service industry and make a good portion of my income in cash tips. For 4 years I’ve been consistently making deposits by buying money orders because they do not have any other way for me to deposit cash in Arizona. One day I received a a phone call from a USAA employee asking me all kinds of questions about why I deposit most orders and where is my cash coming from, etc. She was extremely rude, I felt like she was treating me like I had done something wrong and I was a criminal being interrogated. It was so intrusive, rude and offensive. I asked her why she is asking these questions and she snapped at me and said “because it’s my job!”

    I was really in disbelief that I was really being treated this way by a bank that I had been with for half my life! Mind you, I was only depositing about $6,000 per month in money orders. After asking more questions, she was basically accusing me of money laundering! Unbelievable! At this point I was so offended I told her I’m not interested in speaking with her until she can talk to me with the respect that I deserve. I knew upon hanging up she would flag my account somehow. I didn’t hear back so I assumed she never did figure out how to talk respectfully. 4 months later, I was accepted for an Amex Card thru USAA with a $20,000 limit. I already had a Visa and used both cards monthly but never kept a balance because I would always pay in full every month and always on time.

    About 2 months later, now 6 months after being treated like a criminal, my auto insurance increased by $50 per month for no apparent reason, I didn’t get any tickets or have any accidents and then things got worse... A couple days after I noticed the increase I received a letter in the mail from USAA stating they are exercising their right to no longer do business with me and after 2 weeks from the date Of the letter all my accounts except my insurance will be closed, so they suggested I make other arrangements if I had any plans of funds to be taken from any of my accounts. I was in shock! I don’t know what happened to USAA but they have completely changed over the last few years with how they treat their customers. I’m so glad I didn’t have my retirement account with them!

    The way I was treated is absolutely absurd! I called them to ask why they dumped me and the customer service rep had no clue and extended her sympathies for the way I was treated. She had never heard of USAA doing this to any customer and she thought it was strange that my account didn’t have any notes regarding this. I informed her after I searched some message boards, I have learned I’m not the only one as I have found other long term USAA members that had the same thing happen and could not get any answers or explanations from USAA. USAA has become nothing more than an immoral company with no class and no funks to give about their customers.

    At the end of the day I’m relieved to no longer support such a terrible, cold hearted business and have been treated like gold over at Bank of America! USAA can go kick rocks, I encourage anyone and everyone who is considering becoming a customer of USAA to not walk, but run away from this place! And never look back! And the folks that are still with them, you should really reevaluate and consider going with a better institution, one that will treat you as a valued customer with respect and appreciation! And at the very minimum, have a back up plan should they decide they would like to exercise their right to no longer do business with you, too!

Then the rep on the phone proceeds to tell me that his analogy is "if something is on the road and you have your headlights on and you hit it, it's your fault."

    I don't know how this even pertains to a moving vehicle that's not in any way illuminated. Then he proceeds to tell me that she was at fault because she pulled out in front of the other vehicle. The point of impact was behind the passenger door, there is no way that is pulling out in front of the other vehicle. I am going to request the footage from the officer's body cam. She should not be held at fault for this accident. Normally I wouldn't even complain but my child was in the car and thankfully he is safe and unharmed but this could of had a different outcome as well all because someone forgot to turn on their headlights.

I called USAA and will spent over an hour and a half getting a quote for two vehicles and home. I was given the quotes over the phone and asked them to send them to my e-mail account so I compare them with other quotes I've gotten from different companies. When I got the e-mails they were not the same prices that were quoted to me earlier. Very poor attempt at a bait and switch. So I went back to the website to cancel the account so they would send me any e-mails or anything to that effect or call me. You can't do it. Had to call customer service.

    The person the customer service I told her what happened I told her what I wanted to do, and she kept asking me questions, "What? Why don't you talk to the person who gave you the quote." Then she put me on hold for 20 min. Don't trust this company. The quotes are no better than what I already got from other companies. So the story that I heard that they are a better company you get better rates and better customer service, if this was what their customer service is like I don't trust them.

    USAA rates went up but $200 dollars (no claims, no accidents and no tickets). Talk to rep and got comments like state sets rates, rates based on all people in state, etc, etc. They are the least expensive, give best coverage,etc, etc. Almost like they were reading from a prepared script. Could not answer a simple question, without rereading the prepared script. A quick comparison, shows they are about 300 to 500 dollars more expensive then other leading companies for same level of auto coverage. After being with them for 38 years, it is time to change insurance.

    I was hit by a USAA insured driver. USAA adjuster handled me like a child. She was extremely rude to me. They did not fix my car properly. I escalated the call to their corporate office and they backed the representative being rude to me. Said the adjuster was being firm. How is that to treat a victim? It was a nightmare. I could not believe they would treat me (being the victim) so horrible. Stay away from USAA insurance.

    I'm still with them because they offered to keep my full coverage at 137$ a month, but it seems like I'm calling once a month to try to figure out what's going on. I'm worried that the reps may be getting incentives to raise rates, because on one occasion I was given the impression that I would be paying 300+ a month for my Auto bc I was bundling with property, only to find out that we never finished setting up the property insurance, and I was paying that much JUST for Auto. Also, if you are on auto-pay, be careful. I was a little short this month, and they attempted to withdraw 3x, so 90 in bank fees and at least 40$ in fees from USAA and they are saying that if I don't pay this month, the late fees and next month's bill, they will cancel my insurance.

    USAA predetermined how long it would take for my car to be repaired. The auto body shop took longer than USAA thought it should and when I returned my car to Enterprise they told me I owed almost $400. I contacted USAA and was transferred to the Enterprise Rental Car department within USAA. I never received a call back and in my ignorance, assumed they had taken care of the issue. The wreck was not my fault. I was rear ended by one of their customers. I wasn't notified that if the car wasn't ready at a certain date I was responsible for the rental car. I couldn't get the original adustor that was assigned to my claim to return my call ever.

    Now USAA is saying they will have to contact the auto body place and find out why they didn't adhere to the timeline given to them and if they don't have a reasonable excuse I am responsible for the charges for the rental car. They dropped the ball on notifying me of pertinent information regarding this policy - which is a ridiculous policy in the first place. They don't return phone calls. The rental car costs almost as much as the repairs to the vehicle. I'm a single mom with a limited budget and paying $400 for a rental car that I had to have because of a wreck I didn't cause is not acceptable.

    I'm incredibly disappointed in the customer service thus far. I have been a customer of USAA's before and considered going back but after this experience I don't believe I will. I was told to wait until next Wednesday, so four business days, to find out if they will pay for the rental car or if I am responsible for it. Maybe they should bill their customer who rear ended me while texting and driving.

    It took over 2 months for USAA to acknowledge that their insured customer was entirely at fault for clipping my fathers parked vehicle. I did all the leg work for my elderly father and jumped through all the hoops USAA asked of me. There was plenty of it. I took it upon myself to visit Si's Autobody for an estimate — a well known neighborhood outfit with a good rep that has been operating on the same lot for over 40 years in N.E. Portland.

    Eventually, USAA decided on a cash settlement but would not accept the photographs and estimate obtained from Si's because "they were not familiar with Si's". USAA gave me an option to chose from their "preferred list" and even went so far as scheduling an appointment at the shop I selected from the list. Not only does USAA have access to this shops day planner but USAA actually schedules appointments for them!? Knowing fully well that it was a cash settlement, the estimator at USAA's preferred shop proceeded to hack Si's estimate from $1210.00 to $728.00. At this point there is no way I can return to OUR PREFERRED SHOP with a check that has been butchered down to nothing more than discount work

I already had back issues, and the accident compounded my lower back and neck issues. USAA did not step up to the plate when my car, being towed by THEIR tow company was subsequently damaged by their tow company. The body shop stepped up and covered the expense. Then during my physical and medical rehabilitation, they stopped paying Medpay to my doctor. Said I didn't need any more visits to the doctor.

    USAA have become typical ripoff artists of the Insurance field. They don't care one bit about their clients, or their injuries, or their pocketbook, despite the amount of premiums I've paid them for just under 50 years. They have no customer service any longer. Everything is done by email. Trying to speak directly to your Claim adjuster is impossible. They never pick up the phone. You must email. And then you don't hear a word back for days.

    I'm disgusted and angry with the company I was once proud to say I was part of their family. My grandfather served this country as did my father and Uncle. I have not served but have been a teacher to our youth for over 35 years. It is simply horrible where we've come as a country. No one cares and everyone is only after the God Almighty dollar.

    After 10 years of being a loyal customer, 2020 will be the year I find a new bank. I recently experienced an accident with my credit card which resulted in a substantial fee. Not fully understanding the issue, I called customer support to review options - especially how to prevent similar occurrences from happening moving forward. While doing so, I was told that as a courtesy, USAA would waive the fee. I was further told that I needed to await the fee to post and to call back to then resolve the matter. Upon posting, I called a few days later and a different representative had an entirely different story and was firm that the fee would not be waived. I rebutted their hostile response with my reasoning based on that I was explicitly told conflicting information. I was then met with suspicion, as if I were trying to game some sort of system.

    I was very put off by this and challenged this associate to initiate a formal complaint which involved pulling the last call to verify that I was given "bad information." I was told this case would be elevated and I would be reached out to directly by some artificially important sounding executive resolution team. Four entire business days later - not a peep. I called again to firmly ask for the status of the situation, and was given a totally bureaucratic runaround that the case was was being reviewed by someone else, and this person will send an email to that person, and they will personally ask their manager to contact their manager to request a status update - blah blah blah. I was literally told that my case has gone through multiple levels of escalation yet not a single person I spoke with has shown any interest in resolving the issue or could assure what to expect next.

    Again, this is a simple case of being told a fee would be waived and has instead turned into an outrageous carnival game that USAA is seemingly incapable of stopping. I could only relate my experience to the worst-of-the worse past dealings with local state DMV offices. The antiquated, archaic, and rife with red-tape practices and complete absence of accountability has significantly diminished my impression of USAA, and I am no longer willing to be a part of their circus. I've always been an advocate for USAA and I'm deeply troubled that this elementary issue has seemingly stumped the best of their best as associate after associate has been crumbled to a simple customer service issue. I can't trust an organization that folds this quickly with anything of importance.

It is now 1-20-2020, and USAA has not paid the claim to repair my vehicle and provide a rental. The assigned USAA adjustor does not return calls or messages. I have had to wait on hold for a call-taker to get any information at all. First the call takers advised that USAA had not yet talked to their insured. After taking 3 weeks to obtain a statement from their insured, USAA states that they are only 60% liable for my damages. When I realized that their driver was turning in front of me, I had braked hard and steered hard left in an attempt to avoid the collision.

    My actions resulted in damage to my right front and the at-fault driver's right rear. Had I not taken the action that I did, I would have hit the at-fault driver's vehicle dead center (T-boned it), and that would have likely injured the occupants on the passenger side of that vehicle. I lessened the severity of the collision and avoided injuries by trying to avoid the at-fault drivers vehicle. USAA states that I am 40% liable for the collision because they conclude that I was not paying attention and did not do enough to avoid the collision. Their statement about my actions has no basis in fact, and is made solely in an attempt to avoid paying the claim. Now I am forced to sue USAA to get them to pay the full claim and provide a rental. In the meantime, I have a vehicle that I cannot drive due to it being unsafe to drive because of the collision damage.

    My wife and I are both veterans, and we were considering switching to USAA since they have been heavily advertising their insurance service to veterans.

    Zero stars would be too many. My vehicle was rear ended by a USAA insured driver. After reporting the accident to USAA, weeks went by with no contact or communication from the claims adjuster. I eventually gave up and spoke to any customer service service rep that answered my call. I was told that USAA would be covering the cost of the repair and to take my car to the body shop for an estimate. A rental was also reserved for me at that time. My vehicle was dropped off at the body shop on 12/04/19 and on 12/09/19 I was notified that USAA had declared it a total loss. At that time, USAA instructed me that they would not be covering the cost of the rental past 12/12/19. So they leave me with no car and no payment just 3 days after deciding to total out my car. The least they could do is cover the cost of the rental until they issue payment for my totaled out car!!

    On 12/13/19 I received an email from the total loss adjuster stating that my claim is unresolved because I had not submitted the exact paperwork. Problem was, I hadn't received any paperwork! Several calls later, it was discovered that USAA had given the title procurement company an incorrect mailing address for me. This was admitted during a three way call between myself, the title procurement rep, and adjuster. So the paperwork was never sent to me the first time. I finally received the paperwork on 12/17/19 and promptly signed everything and mailed it back the next day.

    On 12/26/19, I contacted USAA to inquire on my payment status as I was still waiting for payment. I was told that the check was issued on 12/23/19. Over the course of 3 weeks, I sent multiple emails because the check never arrived to me nor my vehicle finance company. It seems pretty strange that 2 separate checks would go missing. Nobody ever replies to my emails, other than the generic "your email was received" message. On 01/11/20, I contacted USAA again and requested that replacements checks be issued immediately, sent overnight, and with tracking information. Once again, I never received a response from USAA. A simple reply or phone call to let me know that they will or will not issue replacement checks would have been really helpful at this point.

    On 01/15/20, I received a check in the mail and deposited it my account. On 01/17/20, I was notified by my bank that the check was being returned because a stop payment was issued for it. Now I am left with multiple overdraft fees and returned check fees. If USAA would have attempted to communicate with me, I would have known that they were reissuing the check. Simple communication would have prevented a lot of stress with this whole situation. It has been a complete nightmare since day one, all because I was hit by a USAA insured driver. All the time and MONEY I have lost with this claim, you would think I was at fault for the accident. USAA has left me with no rental car since 12/13/19 and still waiting for total loss payment.

    I am in the process of dumping USAA after being a member for the past 5 years. In November 2019 I was in an accident, which was the other drivers fault. My vehicle was totaled. I figured that due to the accident being the other drivers fault that this would be a fairly pain free process to go though. I couldn't have been more wrong. USAA has still not paid me the agreed upon payout for my vehicle, even two months after the accident. According to their own website, the payment should take place 24-48 hours after they receive all documents. This couldn't be further from the case.

    USAA claims there is a title issue. There is no title issue. I am the owner of the vehicle. The only issue is that their was a lien on the vehicle, which I have paid off in full. I have a lien release from the loan company. For some reason, even with USAA receiving all this documentation, they do not want to pay me out. What has been even worse has been dealing with the agent assigned to my claim. She has been extremely rude and condescending. It's is like they don't care about my business at all! Part of the documentation that I needed to send to USAA was a power of attorney for any title issues that come up. So technically, USAA has the ability to take care of whatever they claim is the issue, even though there is no issue because I included everything asked for.

    Also, after getting no payment from USAA I just called them to inquire about the next steps. They told me that I needed to go to the DMV to have the lien released, even though I sent them the lien release form. I told them that I needed my title back along with the lien release form. They had been holding onto this for weeks. Not sure how they thought I was to take care of this when they kept the documents? This has been a nightmare!

    I was hit by someone who has USAA on 11/27/19, it's 1/10/2020 and I still don't have a settlement. It took two weeks for me to get a rental approved by them and then they made me turn it in a week ago yet I still haven't received paperwork to sign and finalize the claim so I'm unable to purchase another vehicle. Forget about talking to "your" claims adjuster cause they're never available, you just have to talk to whoever answers. In hindsight I should have just went through my own insurance and let them deal with USAA. That would be my suggestion to you if you are unfortunate to be in this position.

    I was in a minor accident. I reported it to USAA. It has now been a few weeks and I still can't get the help I need. I continue to call and they keep sending me to different departments. No one seems to know what to do. Today I've been to 4 different departments and been on with them for over an hour. They might be a cheaper insurance but they are definitely not worth it.

    From 2015-2017 my family was going through an estate/probate case after the death of one parent. As expected, medical and legal bills started to pile up - long story short my vehicle was behind on payments. At the same time, the car was offered to be bought back in VW's TDI emissions case. (Easy deal right?? Have VW pay for car = no repossession on acct because USAA gets paid in full.) WRONG! After numerous calls with USAA, even getting VW on the phone with them, what do they do?...Go right to auction with the car a month later and stick me with a towing bill and repo on my credit report. So much for "our customer's come first" B.S.

    USAA customer for 45+ years. Insured a 2004 BMW 330I for 14 yrs with total payments of $15,000+ without an accident claim. Recent accident resulted in damage $3,930.43 done by 3rd party using “virtual” process. USAA determined to "total" the vehicle; we desire to repair and keep the vehicle. USAA under-valued the car at $3,963 failing to include all options on the vehicle. USAA could not find equivalent models with same special equipment anywhere in North America - so USAA used other models as examples for valuation. We provided documentation of only equivalent models to be found – but located in Europe and having a MUCH higher value. We also provided documented examples of more similar models found in North America – also with higher values. USAA would not change their valuation.

    At no time did USAA offer to repair the vehicle. Instead, USAA insisted that if damage is 80% of value of vehicle the “state” requires them to total the vehicle. USAA offered $3200 if we accept as total loss and they take the vehicle; $2673 if we keep car and repair ourselves but claim they “MUST” declare the vehicle a total and also (themselves) issue a salvage title. Research of FL Statutes show these claims to be erroneous and false; FL Statutes do NOT attach any percentage relationship to repair cost vs. value or any requirement to total the vehicle. FL only requires the owner (NOT the insurance company) to send them the title if repair costs exceed 100% of value of vehicle and they will issue a salvage title. Claims agents unwilling to research and acknowledge correct FL Statute verbiage.

    Finally elevated matter to Executive level. Provided them (again) with correct verbiage of FL Statute and specific reference but they still claim "some states (no specifics given) require them to total the car. Now 60+ days later they have reassessed the damage and "magically' arrived at a new repair estimate of $5,425.26. A cursory review shows their cost estimates for parts exceed our findings. Have now dealt with three different claims agents and two executives; none of the executives appear to have full knowledge documentation related to claim; that is no acknowledgement of the vehicle value examples we provided or that FL Statutes DO NOT require the car to be totaled based upon repair costs being equal or exceeding the value placed on the vehicle. (FL Statute does require the “OWNER" to directly send the title to the state if cost of repairs exceeds value of vehicle and the state will issue a “salvage title”.)

    We have told USAA that we would accept both their low valuation & their repair estimate and will pay additional repair costs out of our pocket. HOWEVER, it is clearly apparent to me that they have made the initial determination to total the vehicle and will go to any length to achieve that goal REGARDLESS of any state mandate to do so or the owner's desires to keep and repair the vehicle. Their latest (increased) repair estimate would result in the owner having to obtain a salvage title from the state and would fulfill their initial prediction that obtaining insurance for a “salvage” vehicle would be problematic.

    My car was in an accident with one of their insured. The facts were plain and simple, their insured was at fault 100%. They were speedy and got us a quote to pay off my totaled car fast. That's when it went bad. They gave it to us Saturday, told us we had 3 days from when we received it to return the rental. Now I am paying $24 a day for a rental car because I have not received any paperwork to turn in the title. They won't give me the settlement until about 7 days after they receive this paperwork. So to be clear, I was to turn in the car Monday and not have a vehicle for at least 2 weeks, or pay for a rental $25 a day for 2 weeks or more. To top it all off new years is adding to the delays.

    I was persuaded by a family member to switch to USAA. I managed to make it 25 years of marriage without any home owners claims or auto claims. In the past 2 years we have had one lightning strike to the home that has caused multiple things to break and malfunction. The claim ended by USAA using an outside company to come in and be the deciding factor stating it was not lightning, they did not help us with $18,000 in repairs. Fried geo thermal, fried well pump, fried sewage sump pump, fried ground wire, and a continuing cascade of small motor malfunctions not included in the above number. (Dryer, ceiling fan, microwave, etc.) Other experts agreed this was most likely due to the lightning strike in our area recorded by the power company and weather service.

    Next the auto claims...the short story USAA finds every way possible not to pay. The kicker was when they said even if the other company is found at fault they would not pursue them on our behalf. We only had liability on this particular car because of the value. All our other cars have full coverage. In all my years of owning insurance I didn’t realize liability means pay monthly but don’t expect any help going after the other insurance company if you are hit by someone else. I also had to keep calling them, I was given misinformation, our adjuster seemed to always be out. I was the one asking “what are the next steps”? To add insult to injury, we are still paying for coverage on the car while they take their time protecting themselves from liability of damages claimed by the other company. They will pursue them on their behalf just not ours. We have to do that for ourselves according to our claims adjuster.

    Lastly, as I’ve talked and listened to claims adjusters I have learned USAA is not there for you! In every case they made sure they are protected not us! They will sell you premium packages that sound awesome but in the end they weasel out of helping you every way possible! Accident forgiveness, haha, did you know you must pay into their insurance for 5 years before you have that benefit? Should have never left State Farm.

    One of their insured rear ended my car. They claim complete fault in the accident. Problem was getting a fair settlement for my car. USAA totaled it based on estimate from an approved garage on the USAA list. The garage said "Nice car, we could fix and sell". I told them I wanted to retain the vehicle. They totaled it. Everything on car from garage was listed good or very good. USAA and/or their estimate company gave very low value of car. I disputed, sent in receipts for up keep. They raised value $50.00. Then stopped communicating with me. Said had to send in title by MD law to get a settlement check from them.

    Again I said wanted to retain the vehicle. Paperwork had to be done three times for them to accept that I wanted to retain the car. Then in order to settle still wanted title and I had to go through taking off work to get salvage title and inspection done. None of which they were willing to compensate for.

    I was towing my bass boat through Kentucky on my way home to West Virginia in early November. It is now December 18 and the claim is till open. A USAA member hit me from behind on the interstate going 70mph. He hit so hard it knocked the motor off my boat completely and bent the trailer. It has been a nightmare dealing with the claim and customer service since day one. Granted, boat claims are out of the norm, therefore insurance companies are not set up to handle values and damage amounts. I am a very patient person, but I am at my wit's end with this claim. I get a different customer service representative every day along with a different story as to how they intend to handle the claim, whether it be total the boat, trailer and motor or compensate me for the damages.

    My wife wants to divorce me, she says because I am always in a bad mood. I can't help but think that this will never be resolved and in the end I will get shafted. I'm a 44 year old male and I've had one accident in the 28 years I've been driving, so I feel confident in saying I'm a safe driver. Had it been my automobile that the guy hit I'm positive this would have been resolved by now because they would be paying for a rental car. How can an insurance company get away with jerking people around like this for an unlimited time? USAA needs some changes made to their customer service training.

However, since I started this new policy over a year ago, it's been nothing but a nightmare. The customer service has been horrible. No one ever seems to know what they are saying, agents constantly contradict the previous one or the notes on my account. They suck at explaining anything. My daughter got into one MINOR accident as a new driver and my premiums just about doubled. And when I sold my truck and went into a smaller economic car which should have been cheaper to insure, I was quoted a decrease in my premium of almost 650 dollars.

    So what happens? They use my daughter's accident to RAISE my premium with an "accident surcharge" of almost a THOUSAND dollars. When I asked why I wasn't informed of this when I renewed my policy, I was told "we mail you a copy of your policy." with NO explanation at all. And then when I ask how long I will have to pay this "accident surcharge" they tell me until NOVEMBER 2022! WTF is that? I've been in ONE accident (weather caused) my entire adult life and my premium has never gone up, and yet one accident from my teen driver and now my insurance costs more than my car payments!!! I advise you to definitely shop around, they might be cheaper than some, but their customer service and assistance is horrible, and they screw you in the fine print.

    Right before the vehicle was to be fixed I suddenly received a phone call from Alexys who stated we are 100% at fault and USAA will be paying !00% of the bill to the other driver as well. I asked where she had disappeared to and she stated she had been in contact with me the whole time, such a foolish lie. I am sure their records and recording would prove otherwise. She also stated the other 4 claims adjusters I had spoken to could not make any decisions in this matter and that I should not have been speaking to them.

I told him to stop talking over me so I could explain and he kept talking over me. I asked him to speak to his supervisor and he told me it would take 24 hours before she could respond. I called customer service and they transferred me to her extension immediately and I left a message.

    I truly hope that his supervisor is able to pull call and listen to the conversation we had because Chris needs to be administratively disciplined for his unprofessional conduct. I didn't ask to be in an accident with USAA's insured and I shouldn't have to put up with Chris' crappy conduct. Hopefully, Chris' manager, Victoria, calls me back soon.

    It took only one short phone call to decide NOT to go with USAA for my vehicle insurance. A few minutes into the phone interview I was told by the female rep that I had previously called USAA, but I have no knowledge of ever applying to USAA for insurance. In fact I never knew of USAA's existence until today when I saw an ad on TV. I denied her assertion and she proceeded to ask additional question, which I found routine -- until she asked me to identify my children. I declined, to which she responded it is USAA company policy to get that info. Again I declined claiming my policy is to never reveal info about my children when they are not involved in the whatevers. She maintained it to be company policy, I objected. She then informed me she was going to end the call, and did. Without even getting a quote I am disappointed in USAA's customer service.

    I have been a loyal USAA member since 2005 and at the time their service was outstanding. It really felt like a bank that was geared toward serving those who served. I would say since 2015 the bank has been in steady decline. My insurance rates go up every renewal for no reason. I ended up switching to Allstate and saving $50 a month on my car and $150 a month on my home. Forget about getting a loan through them they barely approve you for anything and put you on a high interest rate. I ended up getting my home through Veterans United and got a great interest rate and was approved for 100k more than what USAA would lend. I am slowly closing everything I have with them and transitioning elsewhere. The board is running the bank into the ground and the service proves it.

    USAA is predatory. they prey on veteran's loyalty. They advertise as exclusive for military because they know you get paid on the 1st and 15th. Had them for 2.5 years. Monthly went up EVERY SIX MONTHS no matter what. Was quoted for driving roughly 10,000 miles per year, averaged only 7k. Never in an accident, never a ticket, no new drivers added, never anything but bills paid on time. Went up on average $20-$40 every 6 months at renewal no matter what. When I asked why, the reply was: it costs more to insure drivers in your area.

    Do your research. Same answer to safe driver's in Florida, Kentucky and East Bumble Fudge Montana. It's a scam. They prey on military loyalty, offer a great introductory first 6-12 months then steadily raise your rates and basically see how long your loyalty lasts. Switched to another company. Same low rate for a year and a half and going. Go ahead, get USAA and see how long it takes until you hear "it costs more to insure drivers in your area" then see how long you're dumb enough to ride that. I was an idiot. Don't be one too...

    As a more than 10 year USAA member I can't say how disappointed I am in the service I have received when my daughter was hit by a USAA driver. They were at fault. I went to their authorized repair facility the day of the accident and got the estimate. After 5 phone calls and changed adjusters I was told to go back for more pictures. Now, more than a month later I am still trying to get this resolved. Today was my breaking point. The Adjuster treated me like garbage and would not answer any of my questions and kept interrupting me. She said I could not speak to her supervisor. If this is HOW USAA treats veterans and 10 year members, this should tell you to avoid them like the plague.

    Sandra was the most unkind, combative and downright meanest insurance adjuster I have dealt with in my nearly 50 years on this earth. After multiple threats to hang up on me I hung up, called back and left a message for Marianne **, her supervisor that she would not allow me to talk to. Still waiting for a call back. The real kicker is 3 days after this happened my collector vehicle caught fire and I settled with that insurance company in under 2 weeks.

    I've been a loyal USAA customer for 20 years and have had no major issues with their products. However, my 19-year-old daughter recently had a bad experience with them that leads me to question my loyalty to the company. My daughter sold her car without immediately replacing it. She contacted USAA, her auto insurance provider, and advised them of the sale. She was told she would be refunded her insurance premium for the remainder of the coverage period. When she did not receive the refund after about a month, she called USAA again and was denied the refund despite previously being told she would get it. She was not given a reason, and had documentation of the initial notice of sale. She appealed the decision of the customer service representative online and won, receiving her refund almost immediately.

    About a month later, she bought another car and insured it through USAA, only to find her premium had doubled due to the lapse in coverage. Her appeal wound up costing her more than not appealing. Never was any of this information given to her so that she could decide for herself how to proceed while between vehicles. This behavior does not reflect the USAA that I remember, but since I've had the same vehicle for years and no issue with my other accounts with them, I haven't really had to deal with them recently. But the way they handled my daughter's case, a financially strapped college student with no history of claims or tickets, reeks of bad faith for the sake of increased profit. They've essentially lost the best product they offered, their excellent customer service.

    I have been with USAA for 8 months. Within that 8 months they took 2 payments out 3 times - May, July, and October. In May and July, I caught it while it was still pending in my account but no one mentioned looking into the matter further - and believe me, they have a major billing issue. In October, I didn't catch it until after it had been taken out. I spoke to one smart-mouth who told me that the transaction only shows pending with my bank and will fall off. I called back and spoke with a rep and eventually escalated to a "self proclaimed sup" and they both swore me down that I made one of those payments myself via the mobile app. I told them that I know better than anyone that if I have auto pay set up and I still make a manual payment, auto pay will still take the scheduled payment - they have a disclaimer that states that as well before taking the payment. I only made an online payment to my Amex card.

    When I advised that I wanted to remove auto pay, they removed it and told me that I would be charged $34 more for not having auto pay. Basically, they were going to penalize me for their malfunctioning app. I called back and spoke to one rep that seemed like he knew what was going on and he said he could set me up on auto pay and ensure that only one payment would come out at a time from now on. The authorization for auto pay through their automated system failed because them taking out 2 payments left my account negative and it was going to take 2 days for them to put the 2nd payment back and I would have to have at least $1 for them to set up auto pay. So they couldn't even fix the problem because they were the problem.??

    I woke up this morning with the hopes that they would have put the funds back in and to my horror, there sat a big fat negative balance and a $33 NSF fee. When I called them about it, they again accused me of causing the issue because I made the payment via the mobile app and they said that they don't refund NSF fees. I gave them the option to fix the matter or to cancel the account. They said they couldn't fix it and I cancelled the account.

    When I called my bank to dispute the $33 fee, the bank said that both payments were taken via auto pay - one from my checking account using the routing and account number and the other from checking using my debit card. From day one, I was told that auto pay couldn't be set up on my card. And what do you know? All the while it could be set up on auto pay, all the while they had me set up for auto pay with my checking account AND my debit card. I asked them if that was a possibility and they all told me no.

Then telling you diminished value of a car from before and after accident only dropped 3$ total. If this was 1920 maybe that would have made sense. A scratch on a car makes it worth 3$ less. How could an accident that requires both a rear and front bumper replacement only change 3$ value. If you have to deal with them lawyer up and sue them to ensure you get treated properly.

    USAA markets itself as the best choice of insurance company for past and present military families. They like to say that they are committed to supporting military families, and that may be the case...until you need to file a claim. Then their patriotism quickly evaporates. My low-mileage, lightly-used, very well-maintained car was totaled by a teenage driver in a 100% not-at-fault accident. From the beginning the experience was a nightmare. The adjuster assigned to me was absent for the majority of the case. If you don't know, the adjuster is supposed to be your advocate in communicating with the opposing car insurance company. My adjuster checked in with me 5 times or less during the month-long process and I'm not sure he contacted the other insurance company at all. Maybe he did, but he didn't keep me informed about what was going on.

    Eventually I asked him to keep a detailed record of his contacts with the opposing insurance company...I figured he wasn't doing his job, and I was trying to force him to. The next day I didn't hear from him, but I did hear from the opposing insurance company. I believe that facing pressure to actually work, he figured it would be easier to deal with the other insurance company to resolve that portion of the claim than to deal with me. So already things in my claim process weren't going great due to the unprofessionalism and incompetence of the USAA employees.

    Then, the experience with the Midwest branch of the total loss department was horrific. Please be forewarned that USAA uses CCC One software to value your vehicle. CCC One is a highly corrupt and biased valuation tool notorious for low-ball offers. CCC One has been sued many times and conveniently always settles out of court so that there is no legal precedent on the books. How no enterprising lawyer has taken on a class action against CCC One I do not know, as that lawyer would make a lot of money. It would be hard to sue USAA specifically for using CCC One, because all the major carriers do. The low-ball offers save them millions. Anyway, USAA defers to CCC One during negotiations over value. You can provide dozens of examples supporting the actual market value of your vehicle, they're not going to budge and will just say that CCC One is giving an accurate and fair estimate of the worth of your vehicle.

    If you are ever in the unfortunate situation where you are facing a total loss through no fault of your own, prepare to receive nowhere close to the amount of money it would take to replace your vehicle with the same make, model & year of vehicle, with similar mileage and condition. Also, prepare for the representatives you interact with to be at best, lazy and unhelpful, and at worst, actively attempting to deflect or sabotage your attempt to be compensated fairly for your loss.

    It took USAA three tries to even get the options correct for my car. I had to review the CCC reports myself and go back to them 3 times to ensure that the options logged were accurate and complete (this is important because it affects the valuation of the vehicle). An argument could be made that the total loss department is just incompetent, and while I can guarantee that's an accurate assessment, it is much more likely that USAA intentionally "forgets" to add this or that option in the hopes that the person on the receiving end of the settlement offer won't do their due diligence. The onus is on you, the person who was just involved in a serious car accident and could very well be injured physically and mentally, to review the CCC report and ensure its accuracy.

    Start haggling from there. They may try to tell you the settlement process isn't a negotiation. Right. Everything in life is a negotiation. But don't expect to be able to haggle up by much. After a month of fighting, we clawed $300 from them, but it cost us a considerable amount of time and effort to do so. We were pro se. I don't know how this process would unfold with a lawyer. We weren't in the financial position to be able to retain one, given that we had just indirectly lost tens of thousands of dollars by losing one of our household's cars.

    I decided to go with USAA for my car insurance for one, their reputation as being military friendly. This is laughable. They do not give a crud about the military whatsoever, but you can't know that until you need to file a claim. For two, their premiums were cheaper than many competing insurance companies. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I can't stress that enough. I chose to save money on my premium with the belief that I'd never need to make a claim. Once the worst that could happen actually happened to me, USAA handled my case as if I were the at-fault party. The experience was disgusting, stressful (and stressful isn't a strong enough descriptor, really), and made what was already a horrific, life-altering event so much worse. In hindsight I wish I had paid more money month to month to be taken care of with respect, compassion, and fairness by another company.

    USAA was happy to accept my on-time premiums for many years, but when I needed them? They treated my claim like trash, would not compensate fairly, and hid behind CCC One's biased output. I'm sure the same could be said of every major insurance carrier...but I find the fact that USAA hides their corruption behind a guise of patriotism particularly reprehensible. We (military families) are a specific population with unique needs and experiences, and USAA targets us like wolves and lambs. It's shameful.

    Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for. USAA is scum. The people who work there are scum. You can save money on their admittedly competitive premiums and pray that you are never in a car accident. Or you can pay more month to month but have some peace of mind. My household will never do a cent of business with USAA again. We have warned everyone we personally know to change their carrier. We are leaving reviews on sites like these to try to spread the word about what a terrible company they are. Good luck to everyone who will one day find themselves in the position I was in with USAA as their carrier.

Contacted Claim Center today and was told that the USAA inspector only goes to that location twice a week and for some reason he just did not go to inspect the car when he should have last week. Then the representative tells me that he may have had a family emergency or something important that kept him from inspecting my car and that I needed to be patient and understanding.

    So basically I guess their new motto is that their customers need to be patient and understanding and that USAA will get to us when they get to us because we are not as important as they are. Don't get me wrong. I feel bad for anyone who is having family emergencies or situations out of the norm like a car wreck where the car may be totaled and your daughter was taken to the hospital for treatment. It just really shocked me that a representative from the company would say that. We are working on two weeks in and we have no idea if the car is repairable or if it will be totaled and apparently this is USAA's world and we are just living in it.

    I Took my car to a dealership to have something fix in it. After I left the dealership the real fender came off the car and it got messed up and bended. The car was undrivable because if I were to drive it the back fender would’ve come off. I called USAA and reported it, after that they sent an adjuster but did not allowed A rental car and two weeks later they said that they would not cover because it was done by a hit and run. Isn’t that the reason why you have insurance! This people are stingy and they don’t care for customers. I went back to Allstate and I would not recommend anyone to do business with #USAA. They are a bad company that do not care about their customers but their bottom line.

    I have been a lifelong member of USAA. Since age 16, all of my cars have been insured through USAA. As an adult I have done all of my banking with USAA and even opened up accounts for my children. Of the three cars I have owned, all have been financed through USAA. In the past I have known USAA to be dependable, until this past week. We are in the process of purchasing a new vehicle and decided to finance through USAA. A down payment has been made, trade-in values established, titling and registration are complete, but USAA has failed to make an electronic transfer of funds to the dealership. We have been waiting five business days for this transaction to go through, and anticipate waiting an additional three more before we are able to take possession of the car. In hindsight, we should have financed through the car dealership. It is unacceptable that an electronic transfer of funds should take eight business days.

    This event has shaken my confidence in USAA's ability to deliver a quality product, and I will not finance another vehicle with them again. Since I've had no reason to doubt USAA in the past, I generally ignored other online customers reviews but in light of circumstances I now empathize with these individuals, and I'm starting to question whether or not we will continue using USAA for our other personal and banking needs.
