Mexico Insurance for USA and Canadian Residents
As you may already know, if you will be traveling in Mexico it is required by law that you carry an official Mexico Liability Insurance policy. It is a serious crime if you are caught without this important coverage in Mexico.
The Mexico Insurance Program provided through Thum Insurance Agency will meet all the requirements of the Mexican government. Policies are provided through companies that are not only licensed and approved in Mexico but are also among the top rated companies for claims service and reliability. The insurance companies provide toll-free telephone numbers to report claims 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with English speaking adjustors.
Two types of policies are available: Liability Only or Liability With Physical Damage.
It is IMPORTANT that you check with your present insurance company providing your motor home, automobile or motorcycle insurance to verify if they will provide you with physical damage coverage on your vehicle while in Mexico.
If you currently have Mexico physical damage coverage under your U.S. policy, you only need to obtain Liability Only coverage while in Mexico. However, if your current U.S. policy does not include physical damage coverage in Mexico, you might want to purchase a Liability with Physical damage Mexico policy.
The length of the policy can be anywhere from a day to a full year. Here is a brief overview of the different packages. Coverage may differ slightly between companies.
