Don't cross without coverage!
Mexican insurance is not an option and your US or Canadian-based coverage is not valid in Mexico. Don't risk going to jail over what amounts to minutes to get coverage.
My experience purchasing temporary Mexican auto insurance through SmartGringo was great. I liked that I can customize the policy to my needs and there were several options to choose from. It has become my go-to site to purchase car insurance when I am going across the border to play in Rosarito!

Here are some answers to common questions we get asked.
Do I need a passport?
All non-Mexican citizens need a passport or passport card to enter back into the United States.
What do i do if i am in an accident?
Immediately call the number on your insurance packet. An adjuster will come out immediately and assess the situation and help you.
Can I insure a rental car?
Renta car agencies issue their own insurance so you cannot purchase your own policy. You must purchase it through the rental car company.
What If i am pulled over by the police?
Do not offer a bribe and do not give in to their pressure to do so. Insist on a written ticket. If possible, take a photo of their badge and name and report them to the police station.
Can I bring a leased vehicle to mexco?
Check your lease agreement. Most leasing companies do not allow the vehicle to leave the United States.
Is it safe to travel to Mexico?
Mexico is very safe but like any city in any country, there are good spots and bad spots. Don't put yourself in danger by hanging out in bad areas, especially at n right. Be smart and use your head and you should be fine.
I started using Smart Gringo for Mexican insurance last year and really was impressed with how effortless it was compared with other companies I've used. Smart Gringo is also affordable. I have peace of mind when crossing the border that I'm covered if anything were to happen. Overall I couldn't be happier and have recommended Smart Gringo to family and friends.
