Purchase Mexican Car Insurance Through GEICO Insurance Agency

If you are planning to drive your car into Mexico, your US auto insurance policy will not cover your car and most importantly it will NOT comply with the insurance requirements there. If you want your vehicle to be covered when you drive in Mexico or just want to comply with the minimum legal requirements for auto insurance while in Mexico, you will need to buy a separate Mexico tourist auto insurance policy.

Mexico car insurance is priced competitively and offers short and long-term options that can be easily customized. Extended coverage options include physical damage, theft, liability, vandalism, partial theft, medical payments and more.

If you are looking for an easy and reliable way to purchase car insurance for your trip to Mexico, the GEICO Insurance Agency can help you. It's quick and easy; get a quote, select the coverage option that is right for you, pay online, and get instant proof of insurance.

What do I need to get a Mexico car insurance policy?

Buying a Mexican car insurance policy is quick and easy, especially when you have the following information handy:

  • Dates you'll be traveling in Mexico
  • State(s) in Mexico where you'll be traveling
  • US auto insurance policy number
  • Make, model, year and current market value for the vehicle you will be driving
  • Vehicle identification number (VIN)
  • License plate number

Is Mexico Auto Insurance Required?

Mexican law requires that any vehicle operating on federal roads carries third-party liability insurance to provide coverage for damage caused in an at-fault accident. As stated earlier in this page, your US insurance policy will not cover your vehicle while driving in Mexico.

If your intention is to comply with insurance requirements while driving in Mexico, a liability only policy will suffice in most cases where there is no lienholder. Keep in mind that if you are financing the vehicle, your finance company will also likely require that you get the extended coverage to cover the car while you're in Mexico.

Insuring a Rental Car in Mexico

Getting rental car insurance in Mexico may be a little complicated. Don't worry! Even though we cannot cover a Mexico registered rental car, we can help you get prepared.

Mexican Car Insurance Through the Rental Company

If you rent a car in Mexico, you want to start by asking the rental agency for insurance. Since most US auto insurers only insure rentals vehicles that are registered in the U.S., getting coverage through the Mexican rental agency will be your best or only option.

Renting a vehicle in the US and driving it into Mexico is a different story. Not all rental companies allow drivers to take their rental vehicles into Mexico. Other rental companies may charge an additional fee or may require that you purchase the Mexican auto insurance through them.
