Why you need it
Mexican authorities generally recognize only insurance written by Mexican-licensed companies. If you're in an accident without it, you could face delays, fines or worse while the situation is sorted out.
What to look for
- Liability coverage that meets Mexican requirements
- Physical damage and theft coverage for your own vehicle
- Legal assistance and roadside help
- Coverage length that matches your trip, from a weekend to a full season
Before you cross
- Keep a printed copy of your policy in the vehicle.
- Check your vehicle's registration and any entry requirements before you go.
- Drive in daylight when you can and use toll roads where available.
