Is there some type of one time only Mexico travel insurance for your car? I am going to Tijuana for a weekend and my insurance company only covers until 50 miles out. I hear that there is some type of car insurance that Mexico offers? Does anybody know about that? I mean specifically for theft prevention. Thanks!


There's a little shop where you can get it right before the border. Look for the signs. It costs about $30 for a day.

317 aGFuZF9jYXJfdG95X2tleXNfMDY1NS5qcGc=

I travel often but have never bought travel insurance. I always rent cars and buy the full insurance coverage from the rental. I don't own a car or any auto insurance. I am somewhat familar with non-owner insurance options and the claimed coverage from the credit card companies. But why buy two insurance coverage when one can pay for both?

Do you know of travel insurance coverage that includes rental car insurance?


You can't get Liability coverage. You have to get it from the rental car agency.

You can get a CDW if you live in the US or Canada. You have 2 choices:

1) You can get a trip cancellation plan that includes a CDW. Most plans exclude OR, NY and TX residents.You have to be taking a trip with fixed travel dates

2) You can get a stand alone CDW if you live in the US or Canada except Washington State.

Travel Car Insurance?
Car security

Does anyone know of any websites that can allow insurance on a car for about a week just for travel? I am going to Vegas and using my mom's car but I have to get insurance on it but I only want it for the week. Any ideas ??
I don't think she does anymore since she just got another car and I think she just switched over her insurance from the one to the other....


Deosn't she have an insurance on it? She can ask the agent to cover you, too.

if i travel to another country ,my car insurance cover an accident?
Car security

well if i drive from U.S to El Salvador and my car gets stolen or involved in a accident , would my insurance cover my vehicle???
thanks


It depends on who your car insurance provider is, not all countries will recognize your car insurance coverage if you do get into a vehicle mishap there. Also, not all insurance policies will have provisions to cover you if you are outside the U.S (and other applicable territories.)

Some big insurers like GEICO or Farmers would probably have overseas affiliates to take care of your car insurance coverage needs. I would recommend you ask your carrier immediately to find out if they have affiliates on the countries you'll be passing to reach El Salvador. Check out the article I referenced below so you can get a better idea about overseas car insurance coverage.

Hope this helps!

  • Travel Insurance – Unusual Mishaps By Patrick Chong At Isnare.com ...

    Most of us wouldn’t dream of setting off on an overseas holiday without purchasing travel insurance. For every horror story from someone who neglected (i.e. forgot, couldn’t afford or just couldn’t be bothered) to ensure they had the appropriate cover, there are a hundred others from relieved travellers who nod wisely and say “Travel insurance? Wouldn’t be without it. Did I ever tell you about the time .....?”

    Just in case you aren’t lucky to have one of those helpful friends to recount some of their personal holiday travel insurance stories, we’ve compiled a list of a few of the more unusual ones.

    Bag Overboard!
    A man was on a three day trip aboard a small pleasure boat in Thailand. As they were on the return journey, everybody’s luggage was up on deck ready to disembark. Unexpectedly, the seas became extremely rough and the boat was in danger of capsizing. Some quick thinking by the local Thai captain and crew averted a disaster, but not before the entire boatload of luggage had slid overboard with one final terrifying lean! The gentleman in question had thousands of pounds of video equipment in his bag, as well as an engagement ring he planned to present to his girlfriend on the last night of their holiday. But while his bag went to a watery grave, his story had a happy ending. His travel insurance paid for everything including a new ring, and they lived happily ever after, with a great tale to tell! (Some of his new friends from the trip however, who hadn’t purchased holiday insurance, did not fare so well.)

    Can I Rely On The Rental Car Insurance Supplied By Golden/Platinum ...

    Thousands of individuals obtain cars from car rental agencies each year, but when it comes to protecting themselves financially while in possession of the car, many individuals have questions about the best way to protect themselves. One of the biggest questions that may be on their mind is whether the rental car insurance supplied by their golden or platinum credit cards is adequate protection against damage or theft of the rental car. Many individuals decline the rental car insurance offered by the rental car company because they believe that the insurance offered by their credit card is enough to handle any issue that may arise. So are they correct? The short answer is that it depends on the specifics of the insurance offered by the credit card company. There are many credit card companies that claim that if you rent a car using their credit card, they will provide insurance coverage for you for as long as you have the car. For many individuals, this seems like adequate protection for any instances where they need to rent a car. The problem occurs when the individuals fail to read the fine print of their credit card disclosures. Although many credit card companies offer rental car insurance, the actual items covered may vary from company to company.
