High Financial Strength Ratings

USAA has received high financial strength ratings. These ratings are important to check before buying insurance because they indicate the long-term financial outlook of an insurer. High financial strength ratings are common among top insurers, so USAA's high financial strength ratings make it competitive.

Coverage Options

USAA is also competitive in its home insurance coverage options. It offers dwelling, personal belongings, loss of use, other structures, and personal liability insurance coverage. These offerings are typical for home insurance.

Depending on your area, you may also include identity theft coverage with your homeowners insurance policy.

Military Uniform Coverage

In addition to the standard coverage, USAA advertises coverage for military uniforms.

Although any home insurance carrier would likely include coverage for a military uniform under personal belongings, USAA goes further. If your uniform is lost due to a covered peril while you are on active duty or deployed, the deductible is waived.

With this coverage, USAA shows its commitment to serving and meeting the insurance needs of military members and their families.

Home Sharing Coverage

If you rent all or part of your home, you may be able to get home sharing coverage through USAA. This coverage isn't available everywhere, so check to see if it's available in your area.

Some insurers offer similar coverage, but it is not common. Offering this kind of coverage makes USAA stand out.

Ways to Save

Like other home insurers, USAA offers discounts and savings opportunities to make your home insurance rate more affordable. Offerings include a claims-free discount and a protective device credit. Policyholders can also bundle their policy with auto insurance to receive a discount.

If these discounts don't help enough with your insurance premium costs, you can also opt for a higher deductible.

Although some competitors offer more discounts, USAA's discount options are competitive.

The Bad

Eligibility Requirements
Insufficient Customer Insight

Eligibility Requirements

You must become a USAA member before you can purchase USAA home insurance. No fees are required for USAA membership. However, you must be a current or retired military member or an immediate family member of someone who served in the U.S. military.

If you do not meet USAA's eligibility requirements, you'll need to find another insurance company.

Insufficient Customer Insight

Although it's promising that USAA home insurance reviews on BestCompany.com are mostly positive, there are not very many of them. Although USAA is competitive, a full recommendation based on customer satisfaction is not currently available.

gavel

The Bottom Line

Although more customer review data would offer better insight into the quality of USAA's services, it is a recommended insurer because of its competitive homeowners insurance products and high financial strength ratings. USAA's services are only available to its members, so you must meet its eligibility requirements.

A USAA policy is an especially good fit for homeowners insurance if you want specialized coverage for your military uniform.

We are blessed to have USAA. We have them for everything. Home, Flood, Auto. We actually had to use our insurance in 2016 when a historic flood happened. We unfortunately lost everything but USAA was out at our house in less than a week. We had our first check within 2 weeks to start rebuilding. They made it super easy and were a pleasure to work with during one of the most devastating times in our lives. We truly appreciate USAA. They are not the cheapest insurance but I can say... you get what you pay for and USAA is worth every cent!

I am a service provider and have had the pleasure of working with USAA on several occasions while in the process of helping a client file a claim for damages. I have filed claims for dozens of clients with all the common Home insurance carriers. USAA seems to have the least amount of red tape, has the fastest turn around and the people working there have excellent customer service and communication skills.

I have my renters insurance bundled with my auto insurance, and so get a great deal. The policy covers everything I could ask for it to cover. Luckily I haven't had to make any claims, but I'm sure if I ever do it will be handled in a professional manner as I have always gotten great customer service from USAA. Plan on staying with them for the foreseeable future. Would recommend them to anyone who qualifies for membership.

USAA stands out for its exceptional customer service and dedication to serving military members and their families. Their range of financial products, from banking to insurance, is tailored to the unique needs of the military community. I've found their rates to be competitive and their online and mobile platforms both user-friendly and efficient. The level of trust and support they offer their members is commendable, making USAA a top choice for those eligible for its services

USAA is the best company in the insurance world. I have been a member for over 25 years. As a member of the armed forces, I have been taken care by this company multiple times when I was away during four deployments to Iraq. This company will bent backwards to resolve your issues. A good example was when I was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. I was in the Target parking lot trying to park my car. As I was backing into the stall, a vehicle tried to squeezed between me and the stall and hit the rear of my car. It turned out the the policy of that vehicle did not covered collision. Once I filed my claim, USAA took care of everything, to the point that I got my deductible back. I can go on and on regarding how USAA takes care of their costumers. I had tried to go with other big insurance company i.e, State Farms, Gaico and they always tell me they cannot beat the prices of USAA...Amazing!! Thank you for having my SIX USAA!!

Overall have been a member since 1978, as have some family members. We have homeowners insurance with USAA, and have our condominium property insurance coverages with them. Homeowners insurance links on the USAA website could do with some improvement, especially for military veterans with 100% VA rated disabilities. While looking for more information on the estimated rebuilding costs for our condominium, I was cut off while on a chat session. Unable to readily find more information on the USAA Home Protector coverage, towards rebuilding costs. Our recent claim for property damage to our downstairs neighbor was handled professionally.

I never thought about USAA Homeowners Insurance until my previous Homeowners Insurance company wouldn't cover us if we Net Metered our solar system back to our electric company. The whole point of going solar was to decrease our electric bill and give what energy we create from solar back to the grid. I went online and got a quote from USAA. I had questions about the coverage and called to talk to an agent. They walked me through the process and gave me options. The USAA representative was so friendly, professional, and very patient with all my questions. I received email reminders about when my bill was due and the various options of paying. I was able to use my credit card to pay for the policy which made it more manageable. I was so impressed with not only the representatives but also the savings that USAA offered that I switched my Auto, Umbrella, and Wind/Hurricane policies to USAA.

The overall price is good. We’ve never had to make claims except once, we lost power for days and lost all our food in our fridge and freezer. USAA was super nice and understanding. We’ve never had to file anything else and honestly hope we never do. But the one time we did we got the service you’d expect.

I have been with USAA for 47 years. I do all my banking and have just about every insurance product. An insurance company is only as good as they act when you file a claim. I have had roof damage and they made it easy. More importantly the vendors that they suggest whether it is for car repair or home repair are always high quality. My family members also have USAA. I guess that says it all.

I recently turned my insurance over to USAA and was pleasantly surprised to get lower rates then my previous carrier.

I have been with USAA a number of years and have to admit that they are fantastic. I have home and auto with them. I have never had an issue with a claim, as they have all been handled rapidly and professionally. Twice I have made comparisons and no one has been able to beat their prices for the identical coverage. You may find a cheaper premium, but not a better company for the same coverage.

USAA has been our insurance for our home for many years. During that time period, we have had the need to file two claims. Both were handled in an expeditious, professional and understanding manner. All elements were handled fairly and with a level of care and understanding as though the adjusters were actually the client. I will remain with USAA despite the numerous insurance companies trying to get our business. Best insurance ever.

We have used USAA for home and auto insurance for years. Fortunately, we have never needed to file a claim for auto but I know they would be there if we needed it. Unfortunately, we have had to file a claim for water damage caused by a leaking pipe behind a wall that went undetected and created significant damage including mold. USAA was AWESOME in helping us get the situation remedied and returned to normal. Thank you!

I have been a USAA customer for my home insurance ever since I bought my first house when I was 25. I am now 63. They are excellent. Their service is great and the cost is the best you will find, and they can insure just about everything. If you’re lucky enough to qualify to get service from USAA in the first place, just do it. You cannot do better.

A great company to work with--in that time I have moved around a lot with the military and then in my civilian life.

I've been with USAA for all of my home and car insurance for about 10 years and intend to stick with them. They are not at all the least expensive insurance out there, just the best in terms of customer service and care. I did a lot of research before going through the process of getting an account, quotes, and signing up. Much as it's a cliche with insurance you do get what you pay for. They are incredibly helpful, kind, and provide amazing customer service.

The ABSOLUTE best company around for all types of insurance, on-line bank services, credit cards, home and auto lines and insurances. I have been a satisfied customer since 1977 and go no other place when I need a financial instrument. Their home owners insurance is some of the lowest cost instruments in the marketplace. Low cost does not mean low service. Often my claims have been settles before I even complete the paperwork. Household claims are often paid without an inspector based only on the integrity of the claimant.....we are USAA for LIFE

Not much happens to the recently bought house unless Mother Nature plays her role. Then you find out that in most cases, the deductible (which is 2% of the house price) is the more or the exact amount of the repeat. In this case, where is the reason for such high monthly payments if the insurance wants help when it is most needed?

USAA is a reputable insurance company. However, when we had a legitimate dispute as a victim in a car accident, they provided no support at all. Even though we had documentation. Very disappointing in that situation even though we had been customers for nearly 20 years. We ended up going with a different insurance company. But I will say that other than that experience, they were trustworthy.
