Driving to Cabo? You Need Mexican Auto Insurance
Cabo San Lucas is a dream destination—beaches, nightlife, and the Arch at Land's End. But before you pack the cooler and hit Highway 1, there’s one critical detail drivers often forget:
your U.S. or Canadian auto policy won’t cover you across the border. Start with a fast
online quote.
Mexican law requires all drivers (including tourists) to carry liability insurance from a licensed Mexican insurer. Without proper coverage, you risk fines, impoundment, or even detention after an accident. See common questions in our
FAQ.
The Long Drive to Baja Sur
Many travelers from California, Arizona, and Nevada drive the Baja Peninsula to reach Cabo. It’s scenic but long, with remote stretches. Having
reliable insurance and roadside assistance is a must. Review the
Border Crossing Checklist and our
