    5. BBB A+ Rated Since 2004
    We're proud to have maintained an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau for over 20 years.



    6. No Middlemen. No Time Wasting

    When you call us, you're not getting routed through some call center in another country-you're talking to real licensed experts who know Mexico insurance.



    7. Get Paid What Your Car Is Worth
    Many Mexican insurers base claims on Mexico’s local pricing books like Libro Azul—which can leave you with 30–40% less. We don’t. We use Kelley Blue Book and N.A.D.A. to make sure you’re paid what your car is really worth—back home in your home teritory, not Mexico’s.



    8. Trusted, A+ Rated Insurers
    We only work with top-rated, internationally recognized companies-CHUBB, HDI, and MAPFRE-all with strong A+ or better ratings. They pay claims in U.S. dollars and use U.S. labor rates.



    9. Fast & Easy Quotes
    Get a quote in under 2 minutes-no VIN required. You can buy online or over the phone and print your policy immediately. Traveling today? No problem-your coverage can start right away.



    10. Simple, No-Hassle Process
    Getting a quote is easy. Just tell us:

  • Your vehicle's year, make, and model
  • Its value (check Kelley Blue Book or N.A.D.A.)
  • How long you'll be in Mexico
  • Where you're headed in Mexico




  • 11. Customize Your Coverage
    Need just liability? Want full coverage? We've got flexible options-from 1 day to 1 year-so you only pay for what you need.



    12. Roadside Assistance Included
    We're the only provider that includes a Roadside Assistance Guarantee. Bilingual help, fast response (30 minutes or less), and real-time updates from CHUBB, HDI, and MAPFRE.



    13. Instant Documents - Anywhere
    Your policy documents, ID cards, and accident instructions are emailed immediately after purchase. Print them or save them on your phone-whatever's easier for you.



    FAQs - Quick Answers to Common Questions
    What info do I need to get a policy?

  • Driver's license number
  • Vehicle registration or title (for VIN and license plate)


  • Do I need U.S./Canadian insurance too?
    Nope! That old rule is gone. You only need our Mexican policy while in Mexico.

    How do I get my policy after purchase?
    It's emailed instantly-including bilingual documents and ID cards.

    Where in Mexico is the policy valid?
    Everywhere in Mexico, unless otherwise noted. Some plans are discounted for Baja and Sonora only.

    Can I insure a rental or motorcycle?
    Yes, U.S. plated rental cars can be fully insured. Motorcycles are eligible too, but without medical payments.

    Can I insure a Mexican-plated vehicle?
    No. Mexican vehicles should be insured inside Mexico.



    In Case of a Claim

  • Report any claims while still in Mexico.
  • Use the emergency numbers on your policy.
