All other individuals not eligible for USAA auto insurance may be able

to obtain an auto policy through Liberty Mutual Insurance by calling

Ed, are you saying that Liberty Mutual is somehow connected with USAA?

I checked their ratings on J.D. Powers (not that Powers is God - there
is question about whether the rating info comes from companies
themselves --
but Liberty Mutual is pretty far down the line.

Does the info you posted imply that Liberty Mutual is a higher-risk
insurer?

What, if anything, is their connection with USAA?

STRAIGHT QUESTIONS.

I just copied the info from the USAA web site. I imagine there is a
connection of some sort though. Just like AARP/Hartford

Nor did I go far enough to find out if they actually check the military
connection or just take your word for it. Seems that if you had a
family member in the service you are eligible to join their association.

I think you misread it. I, as a service member established eligibility;
my wife is eligible as my dependent; my children, and grandchildren are
eligible as children of a member; my sisters are not eligible. There
are a few instances where people who lack the nexus may get insurance,
primarily a few states that require USAA to sell to them as a condition
of doing business in that state.

They are an excellent insurance company, and their bank and investment
services are also top notch.
