What is Mexican Car Insurance?
If you are driving a car into Mexico (rental or your own), you are required by law to purchase Mexican Car Insurance. Don’t screw around with this – if you get caught without insurance, you could end up in Mexico jail. It is possible that you are covered by your U.S. policy (physical damage only, liability is still required by Mexican Law). You can buy the insurance just prior to crossing the border (you’ll see lots of places advertising it) or, if you know your car’s info, you can purchase it ahead of time through places such as Fiesta Beach Travel (www.fiestabeachtravel.com).
