Purchasing Mexican car insurance is crucial for drivers planning to adventure south of the border.
Cars drive in to Mexico at El Chaparral port of entry in Tijuana, Baja California state, Mexico, on June 17, 2019. Spring break is just around the corner, and many Americans will soon flock to Mexico’s white sand beaches and bustling cities to enjoy their time off. But those opting for a road trip will need to sort out their car insurance coverage first. Mexico legally requires all drivers, including American tourists, to haveMany large U.S.
“If you don’t have insurance and you cause an accident, you can be held by the authorities,” says Geoff Hill, vice president of business development at Baja Bound, a California-based agency that specializes in Mexican auto insurance. “If you’re at fault, they will hold you until you can come up with the money to pay for the damage you . If you had insurance, you wouldn’t be on the hook for that.”
Arrieta recommends a policy that has at least a $300,000 combined single limit, which is one larger liability limit to cover both bodily injury and property damage. Baja Bound only sells policies that start at that $300,000 limit and go up to $500,000 in liability coverage.Because there’s a possibility that a car accident could land you in jail, many Mexican insurance policies include legal assistance coverage.
Even though it’s legally required, only a small portion of drivers in Mexico have car insurance, according to Mexico’s National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Users of Financial Services. And those who do might only satisfy the $2,900 property damage liability coverage requirement.
