Policies are available to buy for as little as one day to two years and you can customize the quote to your needs including varying deductibles.
Liability Coverage
Liability-only insurance cost covers damages to other people and property should you be in an accident. It is the most basic temporary coverage and it does not cover damages to your own vehicle. This is the minimum requirement for all vehicles in Mexico.
Comprehensive Coverage
A comprehensive policy covers your liability to other people and property as well as your own vehicle and passengers. Some policies include theft as well, and you can customize the policy limits and deductibles. This is the recommended temporary policy from SmartGringo. Note: vehicles older than 20 years are not eligible for comprehensive coverage and can only get liability coverage.

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.

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!
