Do you plan on taking a trip to Mexico? Are you going to be driving your own car?
If you plan on driving your own vehicle into Mexico you are required to have Mexican domiciled Auto Insurance. This is a serious matter. If you don’t have the insurance your automobile can be seized and you can be put in prison. Not a fun way to spend a trip.
There are on line insurance sites that allow you to obtain a Mexico insurance policy in just minutes before hitting the road.
There are approximately twenty insurance companies in Mexico that offer auto insurance coverage for tourists. Be careful though. When you buy coverage from Mexico Insurers, be sure to check the specific A.M. Best rating for that particular insurer. Even some large Insurance Providers in Mexico have not been rated by A.M. Best Company. You shouldn’t buy coverage from unrated insurers in the US, let alone in Mexico.
Besides checking on line for Mexican auto insurance you may want to check with your own current insurer to see if they can offer special coverage for your trip. If you are working with a travel agent, get their advice, but be sure to do some comparison shopping to make sure you are getting the most reasonable price.
Taking a trip to Mexico can be fun, but be sure you are prepared so you don’t get any nasty surprises with your Mexico auto insurance.
I have to ask my agent if it is covered.
