The company continues to offer insurance products exclusively to military personnel and qualifying family members.

Does USAA’s Customer Service Have Good Reviews?
USAA is one of America’s best-rated auto insurance company, and the company has scored top marks from J.D. Power and other major names in the industry for its strong customer service and claims handling.
In J.D. Power’s 2023 auto insurance survey, USAA scored above all competitors in every subregion, scoring more points on the 1,000-point scale than any other insurer. However, because USAA restricts its membership, the company cannot officially place first overall in any subregion.
Nevertheless, USAA scored higher than all competitors in every J.D. Power state and subregion, including California, Central, Mid-Atlantic, New England, New York, North Central, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and Texas. In many states or subregions, USAA was 20 points higher than any of its competitors.
To create its rankings, J.D. Power surveys policyholders who have recently made a claim, asking them about their experience and overall satisfaction. For multiple years in a row, USAA has scored top marks across all subregions.
Like many insurers, however, J.D. Power has mixed reviews on other review websites, as most policyholders don’t leave reviews for their insurer until they’ve had a bad experience – like a poorly handled claim. On the Better Business Bureau website, USAA has an average rating of 1.15 stars out of 5 from 1,460+ customer reviews. ConsumerAffairs, meanwhile, has a 3.3-star rating out of 5 with 2,100+ reviews.
Industry review websites generally have good things to say about USAA’s customer service. The company scored 9.2 out of 10 on MarketWatch, for example, and 4.5 out of 5 on NerdWallet.
Overall, USAA’s customer service is among the best in the auto insurance industry, and most customers are satisfied with the company’s pricing, claims handling, and overall customer service.
