Mexican Auto Insurance FAQ

Quick answers for U.S. & Canadian drivers headed to Mexico. If you need a price, it takes just minutes.

Coverage Basics

Do I legally need Mexican auto insurance to drive in Mexico?

Yes. Mexico requires valid liability coverage issued by a Mexico-licensed insurer. Driving without it can lead to fines or vehicle impound. Compare the legal minimum with broader protection on our liability-only and full coverage pages.

Which companies do you use?

Top-rated carriers with bilingual adjusters and strong financials: CHUBB, HDI, and MAPFRE.

Claims & Accidents

What should I do if I’m in an accident in Mexico?

Stay safe, call authorities if needed, and contact your insurer immediately. An adjuster meets you on scene and guides the process. Follow our step-by-step guide: what to do in an accident in Mexico.

How are vehicle values determined for claims?

Our programs reference U.S./Canadian valuation sources (e.g., Kelley Blue Book/Canadian Black Book), not lower Mexico-only guides. This helps ensure fair settlements for thefts and totals.

Roadside & Legal

Is roadside assistance included?

Most full coverage policies include towing, battery jump, tire service, and fuel delivery with providers across Mexico. See details: roadside assistance in Mexico.

Will I get help in English?

Yes. You’ll have bilingual adjusters and legal support. Policy documents are provided in Spanish (official) and English (for clarity).

Buying & Documents

How fast can I buy coverage and get proof?

In minutes. Purchase online and print/download your policy instantly in English and Spanish:

What’s the difference between liability-only and full coverage?

Liability-only meets Mexico’s legal minimum and pays for damage/injury you cause to others. Full coverage adds collision, theft, vandalism, medical payments, legal assistance, and usually roadside help. Learn more on our full coverage page.
