Our Travel Availability




 

Tab One

Mexican Car Insurance


Mexico has traffic laws very similar to the United States. The application of their laws is what accounts for the differences, and the reasons for needing Mexican insurance. DriveMeLoco has partnered with Mexican Online Insurance to provide you with the best Mexican Insurance available and is backed by four of Mexico's largest and most respected insurers, GNP, ABA/GMAC, ACE Seguros, and HDI Seguros.

Insurance is not available in some of the other countries, see the Guide for more information.

What is the Darrian Gap?

The Darrian Gap is a big stretch of jungle that prevents any overland travel from South to Central America, thus you got to ship your vehicle around the trees by sea. Sign-up to get the complete information about the Darrian Gap. 

Should I take my gun?

 Bringing guns or drugs into Mexico is not recommended. You may go to prison even if you were not aware of the Mexican law. Having said that, I have done one or the other over the years or been with others  . . . more
