Lessons From An Insurance Agent On Why To Buy Mexican Car Insurance Before Your Vacation.

Posted on August 31st, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I had a quiet conversation with my pa. He and my mom came by the house and we made a decision to cook some burgers. While I was flipping the burgers me and my pa got caught up on what we were up to. I told him a little bit about selling Mexican car insurance online and some of the coverages concerned. He explained to me about the time that he went to Mexico and made a decision to make an early return to circumvent the heat of the day. I think that the Mexican police decided that only drug runners travel at 3 oclock in the morning. Anyhow he was pulled over numerous times and questioned about his activities.

Things will be different in Mexico. They talk a different language and they have different customs, and nearly everything is just a bit different south of the border. I have included a list of some of the things that you should expect to be different on your vacation.

  • • Green service trucks are good. They are the Green Angels or “Angeles Verdes,” and they patrol the toll roads to offer free roadside assistance to travelers.
  • • You don’t have much time to merge lanes.
  • • Watch very closely for obstacles, animals, and people.
  • • Don’t drive and talk on the phone; it is illegal.
  • • Everything is closer, and people will drive closer together.

Before going, make sure that you get Mexican car insurance, as it is thought of as a transgression to drive in Mexico without it. Now, I’m sure that you insurer’s broker told you that his policy provided coverage within a limited distance in Mexico, and it doesnt matter. The issue is not whether there’s coverage for the accident, but whether you can prove to the Mexican police officers that you’ve got insurance coverage. Remember that they dont read English and dont have any US records, and cant verify any coverage. Additionally, not all insurance carriers provided coverage outside of the US so you cant blame him for being distrustful of your evidence of insurance card.

i hope that you’ve got a most glorious vacation. The memories will last a lifetime. And don’t forget to purchase Mexican car insurance online before you go.
