Does my U.S. insurance policy cover me in Mexico?

Before leaving home, you should inquire if your U.S. or Canadian insurance policy will cover damage suffered by your vehicle in Mexico. Ask if the policy has restrictions or limitations in regards of number of miles from the border or number of days in Mexico. Once you have familiarized yourself with your own auto policy and the extend of its coverage in Mexico, you can then proceed to create more qualified decision towards your Mexican insurance needs. However, Mexican authorities do not recognize the liability coverage on your U.S., or any other non-Mexican automobile liability policy. Only a Mexican automobile liability policy is acceptable evidence of financial responsibility.
