Did you factor in the distribution from your Subscribers Savings account (SAS)
that the board declares each year. Personally, I've been a USAA member for 43 years and receive on average $350.00 a year. In addition, the SAS accrues interest and should you die your heirs receive the money in the account.
I know GRONK has been trying to be a member for years.

What Subscriber Savings account? We have been with USAA for 15 years now and as far as I know we don't have any such thing. Also, Question for You: What/Who is GRONK???

Rob Gronkowski, a football player who is in USAA television ads. He cannot get USAA insurance because he does not meet their veteran rules.

I have usaa insurance and now paying $2k a year, for a car I use for personal use and less then 6k miles a year. I looked around and got quotes. Travelers insurance was high. Progressive was half the price. Check it out. When my renewal comes up on Nov this year I will probable make the move. Make sure you compare apples to apples. Every policy I looked at there were differences.

Geico doubled my premium in January, after about ten years, based on nothing other than them needing an increase. No accidents, major birthdays, change in vehicle, etc. Went to AAA and they matched coverage at the original Geico premium. Geico is a great company, but obviously something is wrong there.

Default Don't forget AAA

AAA offers home, auto, and umbrella insurance. Not sure where they are on the price scale but folks often forget them. I recently had my roof replaced with them and there was no problem with the claim.

Remember, USAA is a mutual insurer and their rates are the result of the loss experience of those they insure. Their rates are not driven by the need to produce profits. And don’t forget the bonus distributions you receive from USAA which offset your costs. Don’t pull the trigger too quickly, you may be sorry.

It also depends on what you bundle together. Last years quotes, usaa and Hartford were the same but the umbrella with Hartford was hundreds of $$$ less so I went with Hartford. Next month I always check the ins companies to see how they all compare to the exact same specs

Large price hikes are often a result of a company wanting to reduce exposure to a geographic area. Shop around each time you get an unacceptable increase. I have changes companies 3 times in six years. That is the new normal

I have a 2014 Kia Sorento. Excellent credit. Anyone have any idea what my rate range might be? Before ya'll tell me to call my insurance and ask, i'm afraid they'll hike my rate just for asking about Florida....

Too many variables. Each company has different criteria. Call villages insurance to shop on your behalf to start
