Most Mexican rental companies offer their own insurance coverage. You should consider Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) to make sure you will have zero deductible; this will cover any damage to the rental vehicle regardless of who is at fault. It will most likely be expensive, but it is an expense you should try to include in your travel budget.<\/p>\n
Many credit card companies offer coverage for rental cars as a benefit of card membership. Coverage is usually limited to physical damage to the rental vehicle but some include LDW (Loss Damage Waiver). It does vary depending on the country you are visiting, so make sure to verify this coverage before your trip. It is also important to check if your rental car company will accept this coverage and what “proof” they may require.<\/p>\n
Third Party Liability provided by the rental car company is, in most cases, null or minimal leaving you with great exposure and risk to be held liable for damages to others and their property. Legal aid and bond will be an additional expense. Check with the rental car company to see what limits they offer and at what cost, so you can compare to the policy we offer.<\/p>\n
Check if the rental car company accepts outside insurance.\u00a0Rental car agencies in Mexico are independently owned and operated and not all accept an insurance policy from outside of their agency. Not all follow the “national” or “corporate” guidelines which you find on the companies websites. It is important to speak to someone directly at the rental counter in the city where you will pick up the car for you to get a straight answer. Many rental agencies will require for you to purchase the insurance directly from them. Some offer very attractive, inexpensive daily rates to rent the vehicle but the cost of the insurance can be many times higher.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\n\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n
