One of the perks for paying the toll is that as long as you are on the Toll Road, you are insured - your toll receipt acts as proof of insurance.  But obviously you must eventually exit the freeway, at which time neither you or your vehicle are insured.  While the comprehensive portion of your regular policy may cover your vehicle a limited number of miles into Mexico or Canada (please check with your insurance agent), the liability portion of your insurance policy is not valid across any international border.

We cannot more strongly recommend purchasing Mexican Auto Insurance before you cross the border.  Here's a link to one of our favorite online insurance agents who will handle your insurance needs through the internet, fax, and phone:

Mexico Travel Insurance ADA VIS Global Enterprises provides competitive Mexico auto insurance rates including full coverage GMAC approved policies on daily and annual basis.

When traveling in Mexico, it’s important to remember that the legal system is different than in the United States. As in the U.S., the possibility exists of being involved in an accident. The Mexican government treats these accidents seriously; under Mexican law, they are considered both civil and criminal offenses.

It’s interesting that most of us buy insurance on our cars, homes and lives in the U. S. with a great deal of care and consideration, however, when we visit Mexico, we seem to forget the need for this important and legally required coverage and very casually purchase it at a drive-in agency at the border as a last minute decision. At this point, sometimes a last minute decision can be a rushed decision and a bad decision.

What makes us different, although rates are important? We maintain an office and staff in Mexico to assist our customers.The Mexico insurance provider, Seguros El Potosi allows us to handle the claims in and out of Mexico.

We own the legal service included in every policy that bails our customers out of jail when they've had a vehicle accident. Fully licensed staff with over 38 years in the insurance industry.

Licensed in 44 states.

While we can't see any reason to delay your arrival to Puerto Nuevo, should you elect not to purchase Mexican insurance online, a myriad of agencies dot the freeways in the USA just before you reach the border crossing.
