THE LAWS HAVE CHANGED
In 2014 the Mexican government changed the insurance laws, requiring liability auto insurance coverage on all federal roadways for newer vehicles. Incrementally, older vehicles were included, until January 1, 2019, when the requirement became mandatory for all vehicles.
Legally, you must have auto liability insurance from a Mexican insurer, to drive your vehicle on Mexican roadways. A U.S. policy will not be accepted by Mexican authorities.
DID YOU KNOW?
Mexico Insurance is required. Many people are not aware that Mexico Insurance is needed when driving into Mexico as a tourist from the USA or Canada. You will also want to protect your vehicle in Mexico with Collision, Theft, Travel Assistance, Legal Aid and Bail Bond coverage.
WIILL MY U.S/ CANADIAN AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE POLICY PROTECT ME DURING MY TRIP INTO MEXICO ?
When driving in Mexico, you are required to have a Mexico liability insurance policy from a Mexico insurance company. And, in most cases, U.S. and Canadian full coverage auto policies do not cover your vehicle in Mexico
IS IT MANDATORY TO BUY MEXICO INSURANCE IN MEXICO?
No. In fact it’s better to purchase coverage before you get there; otherwise you will not be insured until you get your policy in Mexico. In addition, your policy may not be written in English; and you may not have access to bilingual claims adjusters.
