USAA Renters Insurance<\/span><\/h2>

USAA renters insurance is available in all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C. When members meet the criteria, USAA will also provide international insurance coverage while they are deployed or living abroad. In addition to liability and property coverage, USAA renters insurance also protects against natural disasters like floods and earthquakes.<\/p>

As one of the top providers of renters insurance, USAA also offers life, auto, umbrella<\/a>, and travel insurance. As a result of its monopoly, the company can provide exceptional deals and services to military personnel, veterans<\/a>, and their families. USAA is the insurer of choice for many military families. The USAA insurance plan is not available to everyone. If you are not a member of the armed forces, a veteran, or their immediate family, you will not be eligible to purchase a policy.<\/p>

Customer Satisfaction Rating<\/span><\/h3>

Despite receiving a customer satisfaction rating of 894 out of 1,000 from our survey, USAA did not cut JD Power’s rankings in their 2023 Home Insurance Study. However, when comparing renters insurance providers, USAA ranks at the top.<\/p>

Positive comments frequently highlight the affordable prices and helpful staff. Several generations of happy reviewers have been regulars. However, there have been complaints from regulars about the quality of service they have been receiving as of late. We found that the most common complaints were about how long it took to get in touch with customer service and how unaffordable the prices had become. <\/p>

There are a lot of complaints and poor reviews of USAA renters insurance on BBB’s website. In the last three years, the company has resolved nearly 2,000 customer complaints. Understandably, a national insurance provider like USAA would receive more complaints than a regional one.<\/p>

USAA Renters Insurance Coverage<\/span><\/h2>

#1. Liability Insurance<\/span><\/h3>

This coverage keeps you from having to pay a lot of money if you are legally responsible for an accident. If you are at fault in an accident that hurts someone or damages their property, liability insurance can help pay for their medical bills or the cost of fixing it. For instance, your personal liability insurance helps pay for the injured party’s medical expenses if your pet bites a guest and requires stitches. If someone sues you for an insured accident, your liability policy will pay for your legal defense costs up to your policy maximum.<\/p>

#2. Personal Property Insurance<\/span><\/h3>

One of the most common reasons for service members to purchase renters insurance is so they can protect their personal belongings. In the event of a covered loss, it reimburses you for the full or partial cost of replacing your belongings. While most renters insurance policies do not cover flood or earthquake damage, USAA does. If policyholders choose, their insurance will contribute toward the full cost of replacing any damaged property.<\/p>

#3. Additional Living Expenses<\/span><\/h3>

Loss of use<\/a> coverage, which helps pay for alternative accommodations if your rented home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered peril, is part of your renter’s insurance policy. If a pipe bursts in your barracks and causes enough water damage to the walls that you have to evacuate until a restoration crew can clean it up, you will be compensated for your inconvenience. You might have to stay in a hotel for a while, which is much more expensive than on-base housing. Your USAA renters insurance policy will cover your temporary living expenses.<\/p>

Additional Coverages<\/span><\/h2>

#1. Valuable Personal Property (VPP)<\/span><\/h3>

If you have expensive belongings that are not covered by your standard renters insurance, this supplemental policy can help. A VPP policy could cover things like jewelry, guns, and fine art. There is no deductible for VPP coverage, and bundling it with renters insurance could save you money. <\/p>

#2. Electronic Coverage<\/span><\/h3>

Most renter’s insurance policies will not cover the cost of fixing or replacing your electronics if you damage them by dropping them or spilling liquid on them. These are non-covered accidents. To protect their electronics from common mishaps, USAA members can purchase an endorsement. Smartphones, desktop and laptop computers, televisions, game consoles, and stereo systems are all included in the endorsement’s scope.<\/p>

USAA Renters Insurance Discounts<\/span><\/h2>
