Mexico Car Insurance - Bill’s South of the Border Surprise

William Kitto was not traveling for his first time in Mexico when he got into an accident near San Vincente, Mexico while driving his friend's pick-up.The drive was difficult due to a driving rain storm, which quickly left him at the mercy of his friend’s Mexican insurance policy.

Bill and his friend were traveling at 30 MPH hour when they rounded a corner to find a Mexican military truck hurtling towards them partly on their side of the road. Not able to avoid the crash, the two vehicles hit head-on left, sending military personnel down an embankment and Bill and his friend into the drop-off wall on the opposite side.

In minutes, the Mexican police show up and one officer speeds an injured Bill away to a secure location unknown to him or his friend who is left dazed sitting by the road. In Mexico, they apply Napoleonic Law, where in general, you are Guilty until proven innocent.

There's a good reason why savvy travelers buy Mexican Car Insurance Policy before leaving home.

Bill finds himself in a Mexican detention cell without any contact and without any knowledge of his fate, mostly because at this point he has no way of knowing whether his friend even carried Mexico Auto Insurance . Hours later, guards return to take him back to the accident scene where he is at least able to reunite with his friend and his friend's Mexican car insurance policy. But there is much more to go through.

Bill spends a week alone in a Mexican hospital trying his hardest to stay injured enough to avoid the inside of a Mexican jail; he's at the mercy of the local government, and muddled technology that makes what amounts to paying his way out or Mexico an act of futility. There were many times when Bill was doubtful if he would get out of the hole he was in.

In the end, Bill does gain his tenuous freedom, but only after spending more than $28,000 of his own money, even though his friend’s bare bones insurance policy partially covered the damages.

Make sure you carry quality Mexico Insurance in your vehicle, make sure you have enough coverage limit, and put your insurance ID cards inside your WALLET.

It can save you hours, weeks, or even months of potential difficulty!
