1. For a multi-vehicle policy you receive the limits times the number of vehicles with UM/UIM premiums shown on the declaration page. 

For example, if the UMBI limits are 100/300 and there are 3 vehicles shown with UM/UIM premiums on the declaration page then the total limit available is 300/900 (100/300 x 3).  These limits would apply if the insured is occupant in a non-owned vehicle when they were injured in an automobile accident.  USAA's policy may apply in excess of other available coverage, and depending on the state, USAA's excess coverage may be limited to the aggregate of all UIM coverage payable for all other, similar policies.

2. Yes, Stacking can be rejected by form 999FL sent to USAA by e-sign, fax, mail, or Document Request Tool (DRT).

NEW: 

  • For policies effective on/after 10/16/21, new business may be issued, by an Insurance Professional (IP) over the phone, with Non-Stacked coverage or with limits less than the BI limits selected prior to receiving the form.  (See 3rd bullet under alerts)
