USAA is awesome. They are quick and efficient and we’ve had some unfortunate events and they always come through with everything. Customer service is always awesome and friendly and they always make you feel like they really do care. They will take time and listen and answer any questions that may come about. Thank you for everything!

We were with USAA for years until we decided to get a quote from somebody else. Everybody we got a quote from was substantially cheaper. We ended up with Progressive and saved $200 a month ($1,200 per 6 month). Yea, $200 a fricking month AND we got way more coverage. We tried to talk to USAA but they said there was nothing they could do and told us "you'll be back"...well, bye Felicia. We are going to Progressive.

After 15 years of having our auto policy with USAA I decided to get a quote from another company to see if there was any difference. The policy they quoted me, apples to apples, was half of the amount I was paying. USAA has been consistently going up each year. I called and spoke with a representative to see why there was a difference, she stated because I was living in Florida and they could not lower my policy price.
In the process of looking at other options I received an email my payment was due. I went on to pay half of it and was paying the other half at the due date. I guess paying the one half caused me to forget about the other half. Today as I went to pay my CC bill online, I remembered I had to pay the other half and noticed my policy was gone. When I contacted them, they stated it was canceled 11 days ago with no notification at all. When I looked through my emails, the last one I received was the payment due. When I asked the representative, they stated the letter doesn't go out until after the 10 day grace period in which I can reinstate it.
When I asked about reinstating it, I was told no I couldn't. I had to start another policy. I then had to pay that policy in full for the full 6 months and guess what, it went up. Surprise! I finally asked if this would affect me getting a policy with another company since there was a lapse in my policy and yes it will. Wow USAA you have figured out how to stick it to everyone, and you are suppose to be helping our veterans...
Please take my advise and run to a different insurance company, I promise after 15 years I will be and even with a penalty it will be worth it. I have never had this happen in all of the years I have had car insurance. I feel a reputable company would have notified you before canceling your car insurance. AT the end I told the rep I was going to look for something else, he said "I can't blame you" even their employees realize the issues. I would not want his job.

We now have a 16 year old driver in our home and when we added him to our policy it went up 3X our normal payment. After researching other insurance companies I found our payment should be no more than $430 a month yet USAA was charging my $915 a month! After speaking with customer service they told me that they do not price match other companies and that I should shop around. I am in disbelief as many others with teen drivers said their premium went up but surely not 3X. We have been a USAA customer for 17 years but they no longer have us.

We were lied to when we told the representative that we wanted the same coverage that we had with State Farm, and went over each item to which he agreed. Now approximately 5 months later with USAA we learned that they will not cover the $250 deductible for damage caused by a hit and run. Our car was parked and we weren't in the car at the time, as well as no cameras in the parking lot. Now, State Farm would have covered this, but USAA said no! This is the way it is in the State of Florida. USAA also said that if our windshield was damaged while driving by a rock that would have come from another vehicle, we would still have to pay for the deductible.
After sharing this scenario with State Farm we were told that they would cover the broken windshield as it would not have been our fault. I wish I would have found all the complaints before changing to USAA, but I was feeling patriotic to my demise. After serving in the Military as a Sergeant in the Marine Corps during Vietnam, and then 42 years in law enforcement, I expected more, but it appears that USAA isn't the establishment that they portray to be. PLEASE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS BEFORE GOING FORWARD. I will share this with everyone I know and I will them to share with everyone they know. This is so sad that after all the promises, and lies, given to our MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN THAT THEY SHOULD BE TREATED WITH SUCH A LACK OF RESPECT AND dishonesty, shame on USAA... You need to re-think about your unfair practices.

Seems like within one year my insurance rate has increased due to the amount of vehicles that are now being driven within the state of GA. An entire $30. I'm tired of my rates going up. I thought the older you get the cheaper your payments. SMH. USAA is rip to all military and retirees.

My car was in an accident on July 8, with a USAA insured driver. The driver hit me from behind on the highway when he was distracted by his child in the backseat. My car was deemed a total loss. After we come to an agreement for the settlement amount, (they low balled me on a car that I have maintained impeccably and would not have needed to replace), I send in my signed title as requested.
It is now Aug 31, and I have yet to receive the money. They are no longer returning my calls because they say that they actually no longer have the money for my settlement. They said they had to pay storage fees, and towing that is coming out of MY settlement. Wait what??? I was not at fault. They have had my title for almost a month and have basically stolen my car. Wow! I will be contacting an attorney at this point because obviously they cannot be responsible and pay me for my settlement. I am not able to purchase another car and am still carless until I need the amount. Very disappointed and would not recommend using.

I was injured in training and broke my hip. My discharge is general under honorable because I was still in training, rather than a regular honorable discharge. USAA will not allow me to have their insurance even though I have a service-connected disability because of my discharge type. So, even though they claim to honor veterans they only honor veterans who were in the military long enough to have a different type of discharge, as if it was my fault I broke my hip in training! A veteran is a veteran, but not according to USAA. I have civil service preference and a disability rating. The federal government acknowledges my veteran's status but not USAA.

My elderly mother & her late husband had USAA for both their vehicles. They stacked their Uninsured Motorist coverage so the limits of both cars could be combined on one vehicle if needed, an additional premium. In 2016, her husband passed & she sold his car to pay medical bills. She had USAA remove the vehicle, but they didn't explain that she should reduce the stacked UM to unstacked UM, since there wasn't another vehicle to stack with, and she should keep her money.
Two years later, I reviewed her policy (I'm an independent agent) and found she'd been charged extra premium for stacked UM for 2 years with only 1 vehicle. I called USAA and asked them to fix it; I signed the rejection form. I asked them to credit her the $5 monthly extra x 24 months; the 1st rep, Marcie, thought that was appropriate. I called to follow up, never got her again. Agent Alisia told me a credit was issued. I inquired further, then she admitted they weren't going to credit anything, and the "credit" wasn't a credit at all, it was a correction to the quote for the new Aug 2018 policy before the policy became effective. So all they did was change the quote to unstacked UM coverage before over-charging again AND TRIED TO TELL ME IT WAS A CREDIT.
Her supervisor, Damaso, said too bad she called it a credit when it wasn't. He also said they won't fix it, my mother should have caught it while grieving the loss of her husband, because USAA POLICY PROHIBITS THEIR AGENTS FROM ADVISING CLIENTS ABOUT THE RIGHT THING TO DO, they only give them all available options and expect a senior citizen widow to know. He said that is USAA policy because they need to reduce their liability if an agent advises incorrectly. I advised as an agent, it absolutely is my job to advise clients about coverage based on their needs. If they're that scared of the quality of their agents & knowledge, what does that say of their training and standards?
Annie **, from the CEO's office, called and said they won't credit it, even as a customer satisfaction credit for years of premium payments WITH NO CLAIMS. She said they'll keep the money because it's policy not to re-rate if the client didn't do the right thing. So a supervisor told me USAA's policy is not to advise clients of what's right, and the CEO's office said it's their policy to keep money if the client didn't do what's right (after specifically not being told what is right, per policy). So if your elderly mother doesn't tell her USAA agent how to do their job, they're happy to keep her money. They shouldn't piggyback on a niche market of veterans & service members under the guise of help, they should be exposed for their policy of not advising, and keeping the rewards of client ignorance.

My family has been USAA members for 16 years. Over the last 16 years our experience with USAA has be wonderful, until recently. On July 28th our son was involved in a wreck. USAA outsourced to another company to have the estimate done. It took until August 13th for USAA to deem the car a total loss. On August 15th the Power of Attorneys were sent to us overnight but they were sent with no information on them. We followed the directions that stated that we were to only fill out the claim number and sign our names exactly how it read on the title, we did this and sent it back to USAA the same day we received it. On August 21st I contacted USAA to see where they were in the process of issuing payment for the vehicle, but was informed that the Power of Attorneys were no good because the vehicle information was not on them so USAA sent new Power of Attorneys out for us to sign again.
I follow up with USAA today to see where they are at with issuing payment and I am informed that once again the Power of Attorney forms were wrong and now they need to be "State" specific and they would once again sent out new Power of Attorneys and once again informed that once these are processed payment will be issued to us. It has now been a month since the car was wrecked. USAA is not the same company it used to be. It used to be nice to know that your insurance company had your back, but now the level of incompetence in their Total Loss department is mind boggling. If you are looking for USAA to be your insurance company, I would look elsewhere.

I typically do not complain but I want to express my frustration in switching my auto policy to USAA and warn others of their customer service. I was given my 6 month premium and agreed to the amount. I was asked if I would like to put down a deposit of said monthly amount which I agreed to do. I was also advised to fill out a form that was needed for my policy. I called back later that evening and had a representative guide me through the website to electronically sign a form I was told was needed to assure there was not an issue. I did so while on the phone and was told nothing else was needed. 3 weeks later I checked my policy only to find that my policy had gone up. I called customer service to voice my concern and address the mistake. I was told that the wrong form was filled out and that the one needed could not be electronically signed.
I filled out that form and sent it back. I was told that my policy could not be adjusted from the original date and it was only effective from the date that they received it. I called back and spoke with another representative (4th) and was told that the calls would be listened to and I would get a called back, "not to worry it should be adjusted". Called back for the 5th time and was told that there are no notation of said conversation and that I was advised to call back not that I was supposed to receive a call. After roughly six hours of speaking with customer service I have still not been able to get my policy back to what I was originally quoted. I was not asking for anything other than what I signed up for and feel as though my integrity was question. My experience has been very disappointing and has me questioning why I switched auto insurance. The only integrity that should be questioned is USAA's customer service or lack thereof.

I do not understand why every time you call you have to repeat your previous issue(s) for calling in. Each time, representative states notes will be added to the account. It is as if they do not scroll down to read. And/or they have to read all chain of events which at times is not necessary. I had a representative quote and debit my acct for $220 as monthly premium amount. Should have been $227 debit and it caused, late fees and cancellation of insurance process, and not able to pay via USAA. I have been dealing with this issue for 2 weeks. These representatives are like they are still in training. I’m a 20 yr Air Force Vet and the service for Vets (as well as enlisted/spouses etc.) is not very good.

This company is terrible. After 11 years they "exercised their right" to discontinue my accounts. They claim there was too much suspicious activity because a check was mailed in and it wasn't signed. They restricted my accounts and froze everything. I didn't find this out until I went to pay my son's college tuition and couldn't. Then why I called I was told it was under review and call back in an hour. I did and they told me it could take days for the review.
How can anyone go days without their money? So I called back by the end of the day and was told all they could tell me was they are no longer allowing me to have membership and if I wanted to discuss it I needed to speak with the legal department by writing a letter. I was not told when my funds would be sent to me that were in my account. I had everything through USAA. Even accounts I opened for all my kids were frozen. They were not helpful and wouldn't even let me talk to anyone. After all these years that's how they treat a member. Terrible company and service. They do not care about their members or the families.

During several conversations spanning a few years, other members explaining how USAA isn't the same company it used to be. I didn't think much of it, but I was shopping for insurance for my new motorhome and Progressive was suggested. When the conversation was done, the lady asked "is there anything else I can help you with today?". Hmmm, it came to me and I told her yes. Price my car insurance for my family, 3 cars, one 18 year old driver. Long story short, my premiums went down $800 annually for more coverages. The lady was shocked it was so much lower. So was I. I called USAA, irate that they have been overcharging me for years! I'd been a member for 34 years. Next I checked on my homes and they did have the better rates, but you have to watch them because they will try to raise your values/premiums annually. I've instructed them NOT to automatically raise my premiums without discussing it with me before doing so.

USAA does not care about you or your military service. They just use that as a niche to get all military to go with them. Our van was stolen out of our driveway right outside of Fort Carson six months ago. The van was only four years old and we barely got anything for it. We were $3000 away from paying it off and all they gave us was $7000. That left us with $4000 after they paid off my old van. There’s no way to get a new vehicle with $4000 so we bought a used van from a private person for $2500. We ended up having to put $4000 of work into it.
That van was just totaled in the hail storm we just had. Even after rounding up all the receipts of the money we put into this van all they offered us was $2200. Every single vehicle in this city has been totaled. What are we supposed to do with $2200? The only thing you can even find in the marketplace for $2200 are vehicles with no transmission. What is a family of six supposed to do? My husband is military so never here so I’m all by myself with four kids that start school today and I have no vehicle because USAA gave us $2000 for a vehicle that we just spent the seven grand they gave us buy our brand new vehicle.
Do not go with them. They do not care. To make us round up all those receipts to prove that we just put brand new tires on it and just had all these things fixed. They didn’t help me at all with any of that. They won’t help me with the rental and now this. Needless to say we have switched insurance companies and we will never be going back to USAA. We are currently switching banks as well.

I was involved in an accident on June 24, 2018. USAA’s insured was at fault per the police report and common sense. I was sitting at a stop sign and their driver turned in front of oncoming traffic, another vehicle hit me. The claims adjuster refuses to acknowledge the police report and had already made a judgement that they would not accept fault, despite the fact that their driver was ticketed with careless driving. My car was totaled, I have been paying the car rental for 53 days now. I have reported them to the NJ department of insurance, but believe a class action lawsuit for all the innocent parties that have been damaged by USAA is absolutely in order. They will do whatever they have to not to pay a claim. Disgusting.

Where do I begin? We've been with USAA for over 5 years now. At first things were fine: Great rates, great customer service. But over the last two years that has changed. To keep this short, we've had to call multiple times and have found that their customer service agents are very uninformed. On more than one occasion we were told one thing only for another to happen. Our rates have increased a lot over the last two years despite my husband and myself being accident and ticket free for 16 years. We are very dissatisfied and I would not recommend USAA to anyone.

USAA has constantly raised my homeowner's over the years and we have used it once years ago. Last year during the hurricane my neighbor who has USAA made a couple of claims. His roof had not been repaired for at least 16 years and he filed a claim saying the hurricane caused it to leak. Then he submitted a claim for an above ground pool that did not exist and USAA paid it. This past renewal year they increased our insurance to the tune of almost 45.00 per month increasing my mortgage. Something needs to be done with these insurance companies who pay for crap that did not exist and then they raise rates on those who dont use it. They also settled a claim for a guy that my husband rear ended doing 10 mph. The guy had a prior injury from falling off a ladder in his kitchen. USAA settled with him for 50,000 for an injury not caused by my husband. They are idiots.

Been with company 2 year. Automatic draft for payments 2 yrs. strong. I call them to update bank info. Next thing I know I have no insurance. Mind you I later found out that I didn't call in enough time to catch the auto draft but the representative didn't mention it so I thought I was good. I had to pay 540 dollars because of their employee mistake. Then had to wait 2 weeks before they let me know I had insurance. Then everybody kept calling me saying the same thing. Blame me for not opening mail. I never open mail. I do things online. Never in 2 yrs have I opened mail.
My insurance card is emailed to me. They notify me through email that money will be taken but not one email about policy being canceled!!!

I joined USAA as a young Soldier in 1997 and have used them ever since. Despite a limited number of local branches, the customer service you receive over the phone is first rate. I have had a bank account, multiple homeowners policies, rental policies, and an asset management account with USAA and I have never been disappointing. They have covered three automobile accidents seamlessly and without penalty. They covered roof damage on my home quickly and without hassle. They have never kept me waiting on the line for more than a minute or two, and the folks I have dealt with have always been friendly and fair.
I recently retired from the US Army and became a contractor in Northern VA specializing in residential water loss restoration. As a contractor, I deal with insurance claims on a consistent basis. After dealing with multiple claims, with multiple insurance companies, I can definitely say that USAA takes care of their clients far above and beyond any provider out there. If you are eligible to join I would highly recommend USAA. They have fair prices and, more importantly, they have your back in a crisis.

If you get into an accident with anyone that has USAA and they're at fault you need to hire a lawyer immediately and save yourself a massive headache. They are the biggest liars and disorganized idiots I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Someone covered with USAA rear ended our car and totaled it. From beginning to end we were lied to. Our first adjuster we were assigned to didn't even call us. Every attempt to contact him failed as he never responded to his voicemails. Three weeks go by and we get a new adjuster after I had to make almost 80 calls between my personal insurance, USAA, the repair shop, and USAA's third party adjuster company they went with.
USAA would tell me one thing and the rest of those involved would all tell me another thing. We finally got another adjuster who got things rolling again. I then got a call from the CEO's office saying that they would overnight the check to us and we would receive it in the next business day or two. I message the company via Facebook of all things and it was told to me that they had sent the check through regular 'ol USPS and that there was no tracking #. Here we are almost 6 weeks later and we finally got our check in the mail.
All the while they would extend our rental car by a week at the most. And every time it was extended our card was charged $50. A total of $150 was charged before we caught wind of it and froze the account. This whole process was to make us whole but we're still out money because of you shmucks. USAA lied about our repair shop not sending additional pictures, USAA lied about time frames, USAA lied about our rental car deposits, USAA lied about our check. Just do yourself a favor and hire a lawyer. We've learned our lesson.

I was rear-ended by a USAA member in the middle of June of 2018. I was pushed into another vehicle, my vehicle is totaled, my body is hurt and I'm having seizures. USAA claims their member was not at fault even though I was hit in the rear by this person going about 20 miles an hour. While sitting still, and pushed into the vehicle in front of me. At the scene of the accident the person at fault who rear-ended me admitted to her fault in the police report. They have been shown the police report but they say that that is not the truth now. So now they are saying that they falsified a police report which is a crime. But that part of the police report was the truth. They did rear-ended me and I was sitting still as it plainly states in the report.
They will not help me, they will not rent me a car, my finances are depleted, I'm losing my furniture, I can't feed my dogs or myself and I'm about to lose my business that I work 25 years for because I can't get to work. I can't take care of my customers. I'm physically hurt and emotionally hurt. If anyone else is interested in helping me please let me know. I am in Georgia and they are violating my State's Unfair Claims Settlement Practice Act. This is just deceptive claims handling. I would like to file a bad-faith action against the insurance company USAA.
The Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act says not attempting in good faith to effectuate prompt fair and equitable settlement of claims submitted in which liability has become responsibly clear... and refusing to pay claims without conducting a reasonable investigation Georgia follows a fault base system and at-fault driver is liable for any personal injuries and or property damages resulting from the Collision.
These laws are plainly said and I can't understand why these people are going outside the law and taking the Law into their own hands. There must be something we can do as citizens of this country to fight these people. They are violating my State's Unfair claim settlement Practice Act. I personally have never been involved in a class action lawsuit and don't know what to do but I am pretty good at searching through laws. Is there anyone willing to step forward and join me.

USAA has proven to be a great company. I have been with them over 30 years and would never change. I have had two auto claims in the last 12 years and USAA paid them immediately, without any squabbling. The first was when some vandal keyed my car, an adjuster came out and in 3 days, I had a check in my mailbox. The second time was for hail damage and an adjuster met me at work -- in less than a week, I had a check for the hail damage, minus the deductible. Really quality service! Thanks, USAA!

There were some issues that arose with me getting my title for my car, after mailing them my title, the associates at USAA decided to tell me that they had made a mistake with my claim amount and that they were offering me less than the initial agreement. They then proceeded to claim that someone had spoken to me about the new amount and that I had agreed to sell my car to them for way less than I had even paid for the car.
By the time I had to rescind the agreement they had already sent my title off to be changed into their name. I spent over 4 months without a car and they offered me no rental. I am a single mom of 3 children. I rely on my transportation for stable employment, to go from A to B and the way that businesses prey on the less fortunate these days saddens my heart. They offered me way less than what I paid for my car and It wasn't even enough to get another car or fix the repairs. What they did was cover themselves from doing the job they are paid months on months to do. The USAA member's rates definitely went up and the service they gave to what they called (ACCEPTING LIABILITY) was not acceptance but toleration for the accident. These people did whatever they could to misuse the opportunity to restore to me what their paid client has taken away and they deliberately hurt me and my children and left us without.
I hope another person reads this and hears me clear, these aren't the kind of people worth doing business with. This company earned 30.02 billion dollars last year. A used car for a single mom and her children would not have hurt your pockets. A fair outcome to an unfortunate accident would have cost you just a few thousands and your associates tried their best to low ball me. You're a disgraceful business. This kind of business practice is absolutely disgusting. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that your intentions towards others fall back on all who practice this kind of business.

I've been with USAA according to their records, 25 yrs as of January 2018. Not true. It's actually longer than that, but whatever. Just like they don't show I have a bank account with them that is very much active. But, up until a divorce, a loss of job and income going from two-person income to just mine due to the divorce, my rates did not increase and I had NO issues with them. I praised to every one about USAA! I recommended them to many others who are former military who didn't know about them. But, after the financial situation I was thrown into due to the divorce and so forth I have experienced SEVERAL rate increases with USAA (not even related to driving record) that have left me unable to afford their premiums of $2500 "FOR JUST 6 MONTHS" for two ADULT drivers over 25 years of age.
I spoke with a USAA rep today in fact that told me my premiums have increased because 1) they asked the state of Texas for an increase in premiums for all TEXAS drivers because of THE LOSSES "THEY" (USAA) COULD SUFFER IN THE FUTURE"! Nobody knows what the "FUTURE" holds and I think it is incredibly ridiculous an increase of rates is approved for "future" losses that "COULD BE" sustained. I feel they are raking Texas drivers over the coals just because they are headquartered in Texas. I'm also angry that rates increase through financial hardships not controlled by its members. I've had to be late on payments but paid them. I received a cancellation notice but it wasn't cancelled. Didn't matter. STILL warranted a rate increase.
If I am struggling to pay premiums after going from having my ex husband's income to having just my own ($40K to $25K) how do they figure I can pay higher premiums? There is NO compassion! There is NO understanding or desire to help those in need. I've had "1" accident (May 12, 2017) since 2006 and I paid $20 a month to have that accident forgiven. I've also not had a single ticket in many years! Auto insurance is "required" in Texas and Texas auto insurance rates are some of the highest in the country for the very reason the state gets kickbacks from these companies such as USAA to give the b.s. rate increases. I was a "THIRD GENERATION" USAA member. I expected more integrity than this.

I agree with the recent low ratings for USAA and the poor reviews. I've been a member for 45 years. It was great in the beginning, but now they are too big, too impersonal. They have lost their customer first policy. You have to weed your way through a computer network to get answers and finally get someone who does not handle the problem. The right hand no longer knows what the left hand is doing. They are all about greed and growing the company. They never use to advertise. Now they buy expensive ads on NFL games with players disrespecting our nation's flag.
As a retired military officer, they previously only served officers, retired officers, and their families. As they try to rapidly expand the company, it seems like they insurance anyone. No wonder our USAA insurance rates are skyrocketing - NFL advertising and insuring risky clients. On my most recent claim, all they are doing is stonewalling. They are not listening to what I want to do. It seems like it is their way or the highway. Yes, it is time to look for my auto insurance elsewhere!

I called back as I had been driving for 2 weeks without any back bumper thanks to their driver. At that point, I called them, they told me they are trying to get police report. I personally went to police station, got the report and forwarded to them and then they changed the status that because the story of police is conflicting with our member so we can't help until we resolve this. It has been 30 days and still I haven't heard anything back from them.

It seems the common thread these reviews is they take care of their "own" but not the rest of the human beings that happen to live in America and often are military families. I was rear ended while stopped waiting for the truck in front of me to turn. The speed limit was 50mph, and the USAA driver (thru her parents) was found to be a distracted driver who never looked up to even try to slow down or stop. That was June 13th. Despite immediate proof of fault, I had to get my own rental. 4 days later, I did receive a request to leave a voicemail with the rental info, as they decided to take over my rental. I was also told that if I was "sick of waiting for their help and reached out to my own insurance company to deal with the situation, 'they would be out'."
Of course I have been using my own insurance company for advocacy and help. That does not make USAA less responsible. My insurance company had to smooth that over with them. I have heard nothing from them since, until this week. They do not care about my injuries, ambulance ride, or how I am doing now. Tuesday night at 6:30, the night before a holiday, I received a call with a total loss offer for my vehicle. Despite my assumption that my car had frame damage and would not be repairable, I was never told. I went over the details about how they came to their total, and realized that they left off many options. They also asked me where my car was.
I tried to get an understanding of how they inspected my car but did not know where it was. I obviously had no idea once it was picked up from the tow yard. During this conversation, I was informed that I needed to send my title, so that I could receive a check, and that the rental was being canceled as of Monday the 9th. I reminded "total loss" person that she was going to check into the value of the options she did not have listed. She said she would get back to me. Attempts at trying to be proactive with having another car lined up were pointless, as dealerships were not open on the 4th.
On Thursday, my insurance company, Progressive, called them again, with me on the phone to attempt to resolve. We were asked to prove the options my car has, as they did not have any pictures from their person of my fog lights, back up camera, navigation, etc. Now, they will not correctly assess my vehicle until I prove the options that my car has, that I no longer have, that USAA has already evaluated. This does not make any kind of sense. Trying to help, my insurance company is having someone go take pictures of all the options they did not list or confirm so that I can get the appropriate amount for my car. My insurance also reminded them of rental that should not be canceled since they have not given accurate value.
We were told that it is right in the contract, that I have 3 business days from the date an offer is made, to make arrangements and return the vehicle. Despite my rep reminding them that I do not have a contract that says anything, because I am not a USAA member, and I do not have a check to replace my car, I am stuck. They said, "It does not matter, it's 3 days." I am still dealing with medical problems and I cannot even imagine how badly they will attempt to further rake me over the coals with that. I DID NOT HIT THEIR CLIENT. Their client was a negligent driver who could have ended my life, and her own, because she was not paying attention. My car took care of me. She trashed my car, that I just paid off months ago.
After being hit, while completely stopped, at 50 +, I was pushed into the truck in front of me, and ended up across the road into the side of a tractor trailer that was parked off the road. I am unclear about why I am being treated as though I have done something wrong. Thank goodness my insurance company has been so supportive and helpful, but they are hitting brick walls with USAA as well.

There are many of us who have been hustled by them. I really think we should come together and start a class action suit, whatever it takes. Here is my story: Their member was at fault, and because of her my car was not drivable. I use the car for Lyft and my brother uses it for Uber. We couldn't afford to be without a car so I called their customer service for advice (it was a Saturday and the adjusters were out). Their customer service told me to rent a car and if they take liability they will reimburse me (word for word... they were that specific). So I rented a car within an hour after the accident (May 19).
I call on Monday and the adjuster told he will get in touch with me when he gets a hold of their member... that's understandable, no arguing there. A couple of days go by and I did not get a call. I call back and hear the same thing. Ok, but the rental is costing me money I soon will not be able to afford, so I asked if they would cover a rental if I get it through Lyft because it's a lot cheaper. They hit me with the “It is our protocol to only pay for a rental when the car is being repaired”. So the arguing started, but we didn't get anywhere.
The adjuster eventually admitted that he would rent a car if he was in my shoes, but that's about it. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I still didn't get a call from them (June the 5th), so I called them. I get told that they took liability on May the 25th, and after negotiations, they decided they will reimburse me for the rental from the 25th til the car is repaired, if the car is not safely drivable. So they sent a field inspector on the 8th and he declared it to be in fact not safely drivable. They even got it towed to a body shop.
Now by the 20th, the car is finally drivable again. Now I am left with the whole rental reimbursement situation. I submitted a detailed receipt so that they can calculate what they are supposed to pay. It's the 30th now and it is still ongoing. I called them and all I get told is that it is in the review department, and every time I call, the reason it is still under investigation changes. All they have been doing is putting it off and coming up with all kind of irrelevant talks, trying to dissuade me from pursuing reimbursement.
I spoke to a manager and he told me they will call me sometime mid-next week. Go figure... I couldn't lay the full rental amount and the rest of the payment is due mid-next week, which he knew. Definitely a USAA move to out it all off until then, if they even complete "the investigation" by them. If course, I will still have to wait for the check to arrive which will make me late anyway, but at least I would know it is all coming to an end after all.

June 23, 2018. I am making a formal complaint about a claim I have with USAA Auto Insurance Company. Background. On May 23, 2018, my car (2008 Ford Mustang), was struck in Jacksonville, FL. The driver of the other vehicle was charged with running a red light and was insured by USAA. No charges were made against me. USAA was notified by both parties on that day and USAA reported to that they would handle the claim. Since that phone call, I have tried contacting USAA several times and left several messages, and they have not returned my calls. They have neither sent a claim adjuster to review the damages nor have they made an offer to repair the damages. My out of pocket costs for the repairs will be $9,200 when the repairs are completed. I have been without a car for over a month. Recommendation. USAA should not be allowed to sell insurance in the State of Florida.
Updated on 07/15/2018: After reporting USAA to the Better Business Bureau on June 24, I received an email from the Office of the CEO at USAA (on the evening of June 26) requesting my USAA claim number. That information was emailed on the morning of June 27. Since that time, I have been contacted by several people at USAA (by voice messenger). I returned their calls shortly after I receiving them, but none of my voices messages were returned to discuss my claim.
On July 6, I was requested to resend the estimated cost of repairs and photographs of the damages, which on did on July 6. Seven weeks after the accident, my repairs were completed on July 12, and I paid the repair shop (which is on USAA’s approved list of approved repair shops) $9,259. On July 13, USAA’s Total Lost and Salvage Claims Division notified me that the value of my car was worth only $5,639 and they would be willing to pay that amount if I gave them title of the Mustang.
In Summary It took USAA over 7 weeks to notify me what portion of the damages they were willing to pay. I waited nearly 3 weeks before I started the repair work, and the Mustang was in the garage for nearly 5 weeks for repairs. After over 7 weeks since the accident, USAA finally prepared an estimate, as to what they were willing to pay for the collision. During that 50 day period, USAA neither made an offer for a car rental nor to offer compensation for the inconvenience of not having the use of a car for 50 days. Recommendation. USAA should not be allowed to sell insurance in the state of Florida. (I am a veteran.)

They will try to avoid paying you, they will stretch everything out, they will do shady stuff, no one will be able to answer your questions, and they will blame you for all of it. This is why.
01FEB18- I was rear ended by a 17 year old driving alone under a permit. 02FEB18- I report the accident to USAA early in the morning. I got rear at night and then had to take my passenger home. End of March/beginning of April- The driver have gave Progressive as her insurance and they took until this point to tell me that there was supposedly no coverage available at this time. They won't even tell me why. 11APR18- I get my vehicle appraised and am advised that it may be a total loss. 13APR18- I get a call from another appraiser asking where my vehicle is housed. Apparently, they had an imminent appointment with me, one that neither they nor USAA told/asked me about, and they needed to know where my vehicle was housed. We managed to get it looked at later that same day. Photos were even taken of the inside of my clearly visible camper shell.
16MAY18- The truck is a total loss, I am assigned an adjuster. Nothing further is needed from me at this time. 21MAY18- I get a message telling me to call Total Loss. 22-24MAY18- I get several estimates, several of which include my camper shell as a "deluxe cap". 25MAY18- I am told that my camper shell needs its own evaluation. I am asked for receipts, which I give. 30MAY18- I receive an estimate including the adjustment for the camper shell. It is about as much as it was before they decided it required further attention so I ask why that is and how a 3000 dollar shell that I've had for less than a year depreciated to 500 dollars so rapidly. Also, how did they decide how much it was worth before they had receipts and brand names and what not? The question is asked of the file manager, whose name I have. He sends it to legal to see if USAA has to cover the camper shell at all.
31MAY18- A co-worker of my adjuster calls (I had never actually heard from my adjuster and no one ever seemed to be able to find her) who asks for info on my camper. Later I call and end up asking if settling the truck will jeopardize my ability to get paid for the camper shell that is on the truck when they figure all that out. I am told to wait it out. The agent finds out that I am still driving the truck, which is something I have told anyone who asked about where the truck was, and then asks someone else about it and says they may have to lower their estimates. Really? Apparently, I can't ask "legal" which is where she says my file is, about settling the truck while they figure things out, and am just told that "legal" has a quick turnaround. She then tries to blame me for things going wrong.
I call later to get a number to someone who can answer my question and I can't. Apparently, "legal" is not a department, I cannot have the name of my claims manager, and nobody will answer my questions. 01JUN18- The guy who sent my file to legal calls, and clearly has no information at all. I get some numbers from him, including the ones for the guy over him and the total loss manager. He says that if the shell was a "camper shell" that it would be covered. Since it is a "camper sleeper" it may not be. I built the bed that is in it with my own two hands. It is attached to my vehicle just like a "camper shell" is, it has no bathroom and no kitchen. It is a shell. That, and they have photos of the inside of the camper shell and have this entire time.
05JUN18- I get a call from a guy on the advocacy team who is determined to believe, despite my attempts to correct him, that the problem is simply that "legal" is taking too long. By now USAA has taken too long but that isn't the problem. Nothing useful comes of this conversation. 06JUN18- I call and am told that "legal" had gotten my file the previous afternoon. It went to legal sometime around the file manager sending it, but then it was taken by the advocacy team in response to my forum posts. They took the entire file, not a copy, and wasted even more time. I am then told that I can't even settle on the undisputed value of the truck because they are still messing with the camper shell.
07JUN18- I get a call from the Total Loss manager. I'd left him a message the day before. He is unable to give any useful information so I ask about how they valued my camper shell back when they had it on the estimate and were willing to pay for it. Although he seemed hesitant to acknowledge that they were going to pay for it and had acknowledged that it was a shell before the 25th, he did say that they send CCC information about the camper, such as type. I ask what they sent them if they didn't have a receipt or a brand prior to the 25th. He said photos. Not only couldn't he really answer the question about valuation, he tried to blame me. I send some phone numbers to a lawyer and he leaves a message.
08JUN18- I get a call from my claims adjuster (first time I have ever heard from her) who tells me that they won't cover the camper shell. She then tries to rush me to Total Loss and settlement. I ask about the valuation process, and she is also unable to give an answer (no one in this entire thing has been able to tell me why they are walking back their decision to cover it in the first place). I tell her that my lawyer called. She names him (first and last name) before I do. She says she'll call him.
Considering how shady they've been (attempting to avoid having to talk to my lawyer, despite knowing he left a message), the mess I've put up with, the walking back on their commitments, their stretching things out further than they needed to be, and the having their people blame me for their incompetence, I'm not exactly holding my breath. Update: I received a call from that guy on the advocacy team who did absolutely nothing. He wanted to circle back to me and I guess say things that just wasted more of my time. The guy had absolutely nothing to say except to note that he had seen my last update and that he knew I had an attorney. Whatever.
My attorney called and, from what he said, it sounds like my adjuster is being shady again. Apparently it wouldn't have mattered if it was considered a truck cap, it still would be considered property, rather than part of the vehicle. Considering that I have at around 13 offers that include my truck shell, that is simply not the case. Also considering that her boss said that if my shell was a "camper shell" then it would be considered part of the vehicle but because it may be a "camper sleeper" it may need its own coverage, what she said definitely isn't true.
Considering that my adjuster herself said that if it was one of those things where the top of the camper sits level with the bed in your truck and then pops up when you want it to (a pop up camper?). I'm going to conclude that she, and rest, just don't want to honor their commitment. I am very glad that I downloaded all of the documents, offers, and photos that prove that they could see the shell, knew what it was, valued it in some way they refused to explain, and included it in my official offer. Good luck trying to lie through that.

It shakes very bad and my water is draining out as soon as I put water in it. They keep telling me to call my insurance why when their client came down the wrong way. They are so unprofessional and they try to make it seem like their client isn't at fault.

I have been with USAA for over 20 years. I have property insurance and car insurance with them. Years ago, USAA was a top company. I am not sure what is going on with their company now but, I have decided to leave their company because of the bad experience I've had within the past year. I have been paying my car insurance in full for the last few years. Every time the renewal come up my car insurance goes up. I have never had a ticket and never been in an accident. I called USAA and the reason I was giving is the state I reside has a lot of claims for customers with accidents and tickets, so they raised everyone insurance due to this issue. I never heard such nonsense. Then the customer service agent tells me we can review my insurance and maybe raise my deductibles or change some of my options to lower my insurance.
I read a lot of reviews here that state USAA is a 5-star company so, not true. Maybe 10 years ago but, now they have poor customer support for veterans and military. Property insurance is horrible as well. My roof was damaged from the hurricane that came through Georgia in 2017. I contacted USAA and they sent an adjuster out to inspect my roof not the damage that was in the inside of my home. I contacted USAA to find out if there will be an adjuster to come out to check the water damage on my ceilings. The customer service agent in the claims department tell me that the adjuster said I only have $300 dollars’ worth of damage which was not true and told USAA that they recommend I put a trap on my home. I have been with this company since I was a private in the Army and now retired. I was truly upset so I decided to get an experience roofing and home inspector to check my home.
They took photos of the roof, attic and the ceiling. The damaged was over $1200 dollars. I contacted USSA sent all the information from the company and was told they will need their adjuster with the company to see the damages. That tell me USAA do not trust their customers nor do they care about helping their customers in their time of need. I got the damage fix but, USAA never reimburse me. I was told because their adjuster did not do the inspection they cannot assist me with a refund. No paying customer with long business with USAA should have to deal with such unprofessional and uncaring issues. I have sent a lot of my friends to USAA and they have experienced issues as well. So disappointed.

I've had my car insurance with USAA for the last 33 years and I have been more than satisfied with the company and their services. My overall experience with USAA has been very satisfying and with ease in purchasing it from the very beginning. They have grown and branched out a lot since I first started doing business with them. They only offered car insurance but now you can get homeowners and renters as well as life and even some medical. They also offer college tuition programs to help you save better, and financial advice and services to go along with most investments. They're always introducing some new product or service to the members. USAA have been more than fair with me and their products are reasonably priced and they even offer different pay schedules for making your payments to make it easier on you.

I've been with USAA for 6 years and never had any issues with them until my 3 year old son got into a car accident at the end of March of 2018. Luckily he had a minor injury and was ok. No thanks to USAA his health insurance paid the hospital bill and I paid the $150 copay which they were supposed to pay since I have an auto injury policy that pays up to $1000 in hospital bills and other expenses.
It's now May 30 and I've been getting the run around when it comes to my reimbursement and I've signed, faxed, scanned the required documents 4x and they still acting like either they don't receive the documents' missing things. Mind you their job is to contact the hospital to get the bill from them but yet I'm doing their job. When it comes to USAA paying you they take their time and don't care but yet want their insurance money every month.

You first have to try to communicate online which is fruitless because no matter how you ask the question the computer cannot answer it. So eventually the computer offers some phone numbers to call. If you call these numbers you get computers with menus. The computers are set up to make it as hard as possible to get a human.
Finally, you get put on hold because all the representatives are on another line. Then someone finally answers it is obvious they are stressed out because all they want to do is transfer you elsewhere.

PLEASE, PLEASE to not insure with USAA. I owned an insurance agency for 27 years, and could never beat their rates. I always hoped someday I would become a USAA member and insure with them. That day came in Nov. 2017. I was happy to finally insure with them, and I was told if I added another product (home insurance, credit card, investment) I would receive an immediate 10% discount on auto insurance. So I got the visa card. No discount. So I called them, where is the discount?
1st lie: "I'm sorry Mr. **. that you were misinformed about that discount. You will receive it but only when the policy renews in 6 months." They informed me that the company wants to be sure I intend to keep the card, and that I didn't get the card just so I could get the discount. I thought that makes sense, and will receive the discount on renewal of my auto policy in 6 months.
2nd lie: 6 month renewal. Premium rose 13%. DOSE YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY RAISE YOUR RATE 13% ON RENEWAL. There was NO discount for getting the visa card. Called again. I was on the phone for a VERY LONG TIME while they were (probably trying to figure out how to get out of their 1st lie). I was then informed that discount IS NOT AVAILABLE IN California.

When rear ended I was in the front passenger seat talking to my wife at an angle and the shock made my hands slam into the dashboard. At the time I had just had a case of vertigo resolved by a chiropractor who I was referred to by a neurologist MD who said he would cure the vertigo. He cured it. The next day we have the accident and I immediately go back into vertigo.
My family made me get back in the car as I was so dizzy. Also, at the time I was wearing a heart monitor which recorded me going back into vertigo. Brought up by the cardiologist office that had just done my heart ablation. She questioned if I had experienced vertigo what she saw on the monitor results. The hitting of the dashboard caused pain in both my thumbs. I still can’t touch my palm with my right thumb over a year after the accident with pain every day when I move the thumb. Why I have not the thumb taken care of yet after shots and all. Doctors unwilling to deal with auto accident cases. YEP! Charges go up astronomical if you are treated for an auto accident. We were in shock how much higher. Our back doctor would not treat me as an auto accident and it was too expensive for them to get involved. Medicare gets involved on any payments and we said we did not want them to have to pay when not our fault.
USAA contacted all passengers involved but me. They have not talked to me ever, in over one year, and I had the worse injuries. Lower left back, vertigo, and inability to close my right thumb. The auto claim adjuster lied saying a police report had been filed and that our injuries were not significant. He later admitted that he had no defense to the lie. We filed a delayed police report as no police were involved in investigating the accident. They showed up after information was exchanged and told us to leave as the traffic was so bad.
They did admit liability and took care of my wife and her car. The primary adjuster; after submitting our bills took over two months to say that the USAA driver only had 15k coverage. He knew I had 30k plus medical bills two months prior. They refused to pay the 100 dollars out of pocket I paid for an Xray of my right thumb. They made my wife try and find out billing codes. They would not do their job on calling and finding out billing codes They would not give my wife the billing codes. Frustrated, we settled that portion of the claim. Now he says you need to file an underinsured motorist claim. Still no one talks to me. Wife is talking to them on what we need to do.
We submit all medical bills and reports. I had surgery on my left thumb which was in pain due to bone on bone in the thumb. Agree not their fault, That cost 31k and it was aggravated enough that I required surgery to stop the pain. That is the amount I will look at if I have to have surgery on the right thumb. So, we send in everything and certified mail to know they received everything. Two months later I have my wife call to find out why no response with a settlement offer. They copied everything and did not copy my signature on the reverse side of the medical authorization. Yet, they sent a letter saying they were reviewing all to make an offer. How when they never have asked me my status to evaluate my claim? No request to send another copy of the signature. So yesterday, after calling, we mail the copy they say they are lacking. They just did not copy the back side of the form when copying the records into their system.
Now how long before they respond. I am not optimistic they will be fair when they have never talked to me. I fully expect a fight for any settlement over the way they have handled everything. We cancelled out coverage and moved back to Farmers. USAA has created more stress in a bad situation with poor treatment of a prior service member. I will only give them credit for one thing now and that is, their trip cancellation travel insurance is a low rate. No experience on their claim handling experience on the travel policies. We await to see if we are going to have to sue them before this is all over. I told my wife, I would have fired claim reps that handled claims like they have handled ours. They have no clue as to the back and thumb pain I go through every night as they never have talked to me.
I had already booked a fishing trip to Wyoming and New Zeland before the accident. I was in total pain trying to flyfish catching big fish in Wyoming. A orthopedic surgeon on the fishing trip saw what I went through. Couldn't even tie my boots without help. How will they be able to make a fair offer when they have never talked to me or don't know about what I have been going through. My wife has been having to drive me and suffered on what I have not been able to do as a result of the accident. I would never insure with them again. Son still with them, but he has not had a claim yet.

I have been with USAA for about 35 years. I have car and home insurance with them. Other companies can't touch their price; but I have been with them a long time and I have a good driving record and claims record. My grown children also have USAA and are very pleased. When filing a claim, they are transparent. An unlicensed uninsured person hit my car. It was a 2001 Acura TL in great condition. USAA totaled it, paid me for it and gave it back to me because of a scratch that the tow company had put on the hood. They also paid the hospital and paid me for my pain and suffering. The customer service that I have experienced is usually outstanding. There are always a few bad apples, but for the most part, customer service is great.

The auto insurance claim incident was painless. At the time, I still used the telephone (hearing impaired so that would not be an option now). Literally one call. The agent was extremely nice, respectful, and even had some humor. He told me how to get the car fixed. I went to the repair shop. I paid my portion and the repair shop did business directly for the rest. No snags, no shady moves. Straightforward. USAA never dropped the ball. They coordinated with the repair shop to pay their part. Done!
But there are other aspects of USAA that I've had problems with. For instance, they have allowed other companies to have my contact data and send me junk mail several times, in spite of the fact that for over 35 years I've always denied them permission to do that, and denied them permission to mail anything. They also have a problem with gender bias - when my husband came onto my policies, they started treating him as if he were the primary. I had come to Jesus discussion about that.

From the moment I contacted USAA until I had a check in hand it was a very easy process. They walked me through every step of what I needed to do, asked me what happened in the accident and how it happened.

Filing a claim was quick, thorough, helpful, efficient. So easy to work with, they are helpful in every way.

I ask you - - - how can a Thule Complete Crossroads Railing Rack be considered neither personal property, nor part of the vehicle? One would think it has to be one or the other. Well apparently it can be declared neither – nonexistent – if USAA says so. USAA used to be a good company to deal with. That has changed in the last several years and I have seen an increasing number of complaints from others. Now I am the one having to complain. On August 31, 2017 my 2005 Honda Pilot was stolen with nearly $8,000 worth of camping and kayaking gear inside. There was a rack with accessories on top for carrying my kayaks. I also had a hitch for towing and carried in the car the ball mounts with balls, etc.
A vehicle claim was made for the Honda Pilot and a property claim for the items inside. Rather bizarrely the people handling the property claim allowed the roof rack accessories but said the Thule Complete Crossroads Railing Rack was part of the vehicle and therefore they would not include that. Then the people handling the vehicle claim said it was not part of the vehicle because it was a personal preference item. Property Claims says it was part of the vehicle and Vehicle Claims says it was not part of the vehicle. How can that be???
They are just trying to find any little thing they can deny. New, the Thule Complete Crossroads Railing Rack is $349.95 and the depreciated value is even less. I can't believe they are haggling over this little amount. They are doing the same thing with the interchangeable hitch ball system, magnetic trailer alignment kit, hitch ball mount, and receiver lock (a combined total of $95.93 for new items).

Although USAA is the only insurance company that I’ve ever had, I find that the process filing a claim has been super easy quick and effective, especially with the USAA app for iOS. The app has access to online chat staff if you have questions about your auto policy, renters insurance, credit card account, loan services, etc. I’m a 22 year old female who recently took full financial responsibility for my car insurance and I now have my own profile branching off of my dad’s main plan. And as a new owner of auto insurance the staff and customer support are very friendly and helpful when answering questions and explaining details.
I got into a very minor accident. I was nervous that I would be confused and do something wrong while filing the claim, paying the deductible or any other logistical steps. The USAA customer service gentleman was very helpful in explaining everything and being patient while I asked questions. Everything is fine and my rate has not been increased.
However, I did have some problems with gaining online access to my USAA account, since it said “online access cannot be granted at this time” and I called the troubleshooting number. The woman wasn’t foreign and she asked plenty of security questions. It turns out that I wasn’t able to register for online access because I needed to “confirm I am a legal US citizen”. I thought that was really weird because USAA is for members and families of the US military, so I would HAVE to be a citizen to have a membership. Anyways, that’s all figured out now and I have my statements emailed to me each month.

My Father in Law, passed away from Leukemia 10/14/17. Sad as that was, the nightmare of cancelling his car insurance has made rehashing this supremely sad event in our lives necessary. He had USAA Auto and Renters Insurance. We called, we faxed, we tried to email but they don't accept emails from anyone who isn't a policyholder. We sent copies of the death certificate. We sent copies of the bill of sale showing the vehicle no longer belonged to any family member. The death certificate was acceptable documentation to cancel the renters insurance but not the auto policy. Why???
Yet somehow USAA sees no problem with calling my husband 3-5 times a week during his work hours to try and sell him financial planning services. Like any of us want a relationship with a company that has done nothing but hassle us over car insurance for the dead. The moral of my story friends is, when you start a relationship with an insurance or financial company perhaps you may want to inquire on their cancellation policy in the event of your untimely demise. I know this experience has made me rethink who I do business with. Thanks for listening.

The agent could not specify any email or other written communication clarifying the end date of the rental period.

I spoke to several people on my claims in the span of 3 days; never a good sign when you have to speak to several person about your claims. It's really embarrassing. I had demanded to speak to a Supervisor and I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Jeff **, whom which I had to calm down several times because, he could not provide me a with suitable answers to any of my questions regarding the accident in which the guy they insure was at fault (I was hit from the back).

Now, that fault party will realize that his insurance will go up because, his insurance didn't settle with me and I had to hire a lawyer. Can you imagine being in this situation.

I hope this helps someone out when making their choice on insurance provider.
