Can I keep my USAA insurance after a divorce?
My ex-husband is in the military, so our car insurance and bank accounts are both through USAA. I need to get my own car insurance, am I able to stay with USAA?

Even though you are divorced and not a member of the military, you can keep your
USAA car insurance
. According to the company’s website, so long as your USAA membership was established during marriage it won’t be lost upon divorce. The only thing USAA requires in order to keep your membership is your ex-husband’s USAA member number.
If you did not establish a USAA membership while married but want to set up an account now, you should call customer service at 800-531-8722 to discuss the options available to you.
Ending a marriage is an undoubtedly stressful event, which is why USAA has
online resources
in place that can help you navigate the process of a military divorce. Updating your marital status and other important information on your USAA profile can help you find the financial support you need, and it won’t affect your membership status. The only caveat? If you choose to remarry in the future you will no longer be eligible for USAA coverage upon remarriage—unless your new spouse is also a USAA member.
Even if you’re attached to USAA, it may be a good idea to shop around for
car insurance quotes
from other companies. Every carrier calculates their insurance rates a little differently—meaning you could wind up with a lower premium by switching to a company other than USAA. View full answer
