Cross the border covered the right way

We’ll keep you covered from San Diego to San Felipe – and everywhere between.

Driving to Tijuana, Ensenada, Rosarito, Mexicali, or deeper into Baja or mainland Mexico – your U.S. auto policy is not recognized by Mexican authorities. You need Mexico-issued liability at minimum. We set you up in minutes with the right policy period and coverage so you can cross with confidence.


Why you need a Mexico policy

  • Mexican law requires liability insurance from a Mexico-licensed carrier
  • U.S. policies do not satisfy police or courts in Mexico
  • If you cause an accident without Mexico liability, you can face fines, vehicle impound, or legal issues
    We quote multiple Mexico carriers and issue your policy same day.

Coverage options

Liability only

  • Satisfies legal requirement
  • Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others
  • Lowest cost, good for quick border trips

Full coverage

  • Liability plus physical damage and theft for your vehicle
  • Includes partial theft, glass, vandalism, and some roadside benefits
  • Recommended for overnight stays or highway travel beyond the border zone

Popular add-ons

  • Legal assistance and bail bond support
  • Roadside assistance and towing
  • Medical payments for you and passengers
  • Fixed deductibles for collision and theft
  • Coverage for trailers and towed items when eligible

We will explain deductibles and what is covered or excluded before you buy.


Trip lengths and policy types

  • 1 day, weekend, or short trip policies
  • 7, 15, 30 day options
  • 6 month and 12 month policies for frequent travelers
    Longer terms often cost less per day if you cross regularly.

Where you are going matters

  • Border zone and Baja routes still require Mexico liability
  • Mainland travel or outside free zones may require a temporary import permit for the vehicle
  • Some states and toll roads have special requirements for towing and trailers
    Tell us your route and we will size coverage and documents correctly.

What we need to issue

  • Vehicle info – year, make, model, VIN, plate
  • Driver info – name, license, birthdate
  • Trip dates and main destinations
  • Lienholder if any
  • Any trailer or towed item details

We print or email your policy and proof of insurance for border checkpoints.


Claims and accidents in Mexico

  • Call the Mexico carrier’s claims number on your policy from the scene
  • Wait for an adjuster before moving the vehicle unless it is unsafe
  • Get police report numbers and photos if possible
  • Your legal assistance benefit, if included, coordinates guidance
    We walk you through the process step by step so you are not guessing roadside.

Common situations we handle

  • Day trip to Tijuana or Rosarito – liability or full coverage for 1 to 3 days
  • Weekend in Ensenada or Valle de Guadalupe – full coverage with roadside
  • Baja road trip – 1 to 4 weeks with fixed deductibles and towing
  • Mainland vacation – longer term policy and travel guidance
  • Towing a small trailer – add-on liability and physical damage if eligible

Important notes

  • Rental cars in Mexico require the rental agency’s Mexico coverage
  • Off-road racing, commercial use, and alcohol-related incidents are excluded
  • Driver count, towing limits, and territory rules vary by carrier
  • Keep your U.S. registration and license with you at all times

We match the carrier to your vehicle, route, and risk tolerance.
