In a earlier post in another section, I asked about travel south of the border. I found out that Mexican auto insurance is a must or you can end up in jail. The prices I have been quoted range from $270.00 ti $300.00 dollars for eight days. Zowie, that's over fourteen thousand dollars a year. Do any of you pay this rate?
Call 800-909-4457 for liability insurance which covers all vehicles you drive in all of Mexico. Their current rate is $58.00/yr. I have used this company three times but never had a claim. My friend, who goes to Mexico for several weeks at a time a couple times per year, recommended the company. I was quite skeptical of the company (because of the price) until my friend had an accident a couple of years ago and the company paid the claim with NO hassle.
I am not sure of the company name (might be A.S.D. International Insurance) but they are located in CA and can handle everything over the phone. They can even FAX you the policy if time is a problem. They have an ad in the Family Motor Coaching Magazine every month. If they had multiple complaints, FMCA would stop carrying their ad.
In addition, my insurance carrier (Amica) indicated that I would be covered under my current policy; the problem is with the Mexican Government, they will not accept a US company's coverage. If I remember right, the border people want to see proof of insurance, and they always accepted the policy I had.

There is also a lot of good information about traveling into Mexico.
