Why do you need car insurance?
Most US and Canadian-based insurance policies are not recognized in Mexico, so you should purchase a temporary Mexican insurance policy before crossing the border with your vehicle. If you are in an accident, damages are assessed at the scene, and you must show the ability to pay.
Liability Coverage
Covers damages to other people and property should you be in an accident.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers your liability to other people and property as well as your own vehicle and passengers.
Boat & Watercraft Coverage
If you are entering a marina in Mexico, you are required to have a policy prior to entering.
Home Owners Coverage
Our policies offer customizable options depending on your needs and have great, affordable coverage.
