Many people are not aware that Mexican Auto Insurance is needed when driving into Mexico as a tourist from the USA or Canada. If you have an at-fault accident, the Mexican authorities may arrest you and impound your car until the matter can be settled. Therefore, you will need good liability coverage.

If you are planning to travel to Mexico beyond the 'Border Zone' (the border zone is considered 13 miles to the south into Mexico). Mexican authorities will require a “Temporary Import Vehicle Permit” for American vehicles. This permit is issued by the Mexican government. You can get this permit at Banjercito’s offices located in the Mexican border check point stations and at some Mexican consulates. Banjercito is the Mexican institution that issues the temporary import permits. The Rios Insurance Agency can help you get this permit and avoid the crowds and long lines at the border. If you need a permit, please call us to get additional information at 209-354-3000.

Documents needed to apply for a Temporary Vehicle Permit:

1. USA passport, or USA passport card, or Green Card

2. Vehicle Title or current Registration 

3. Visa or Mastercard to pay a deposit and Banjercito fees 

Please note that the registered vehicle owner must cancel the temporary permit at the Mexican border before returning to the USA, and prior to the “last date to return the vehicle” indicated on the permit issued by the Mexican government in order to claim the deposit. If you do not cancel and return the vehicle within the indicated dates, you will not be able to get your deposit back.
