Mistake #3: Not Buying Mexican Liability Insurance

Many people mistakenly think that when they bring their car down to Mexico, their insurance policy from the U.S. or Canada will cover them. And to make matters worse, many U.S. or Canadian companies state that their coverage is valid in Mexico.  This may be true to a certain degree.  However, Mexican law states that every vehicle, foreign or domestic, must carry civil liability insurance by a recognized Mexican company.
