Is Car insurance Required by Law In Mexico? | Suite101.com

The answer about the necessity of car insurance in Mexico is no, and yes, if you are driving in the Free Zone, Baja, and parts of Sonora. Only a handful of Mexican States have mandatory liability insurance laws. In most Mexican states, car and vehicle insurance is not required. This is because in Mexico it is “assumed” that if you drive or own a vehicle, you have the means to pay for any damages caused while driving there.

What About Third Party Damage Inside the Free Zone?

If you cause third party bodily injury you will go to jail. And, if you cause third party damage to government infrastructure (i.e. light pole or bridge) you will also go to jail. These are felonies in Mexico. And, in Mexico you are presumed guilty until proven innocent. To comply with the law and avoid being stuck in jail, you must obtain Liability insurance that automatically includes Legal Aid (bail bond).

What happens if you do not have Mexican car insurance and cannot pay for damages in the event of an accident? If you do not have Mexican car liability insurance and are involved in an accident you will likely go to jail until fault is determined. If you are at fault, you are required to pay all damages immediately. If you do not, you will be detained in the Mexican jail, and most likely, your vehicle impounded, until you can pay. You may also be charged large fines.

If you have a lien on your vehicle in the U.S., you will need physical damage coverage. In addition, you are required to have permission from the lien holder to drive the vehicle into Mexico.

These laws apply whether you are one mile or 1000 miles inside the Mexican border, and whether or not you are in the free zone or not.

Some U.S. car insurance companies claim to cover you while driving a short distance into Mexico. but

Many American brokers sell Mexican insurance online and you can purchase from stands near and at the border. However, you want to be careful from whom you choose to purchase insurance.
