Car Insurance Company Recommendations?

mrfatboy - 6-17-2009 at 02:05 PM

Can anybody recommend a good & inexpensive online car insurance company for my 4 day trip to San Felipe? I usually use Bajabound.com but they were twice as much as others I have found. However, I don't want to go for the cheapest and find out the hard way that the company won't honor the policy in case of an accident

We buy a membership to Vagbundos and then buy the yearly insurance through them for truck / boat / trailer. if you go down more than once it is cheaper that way. It is the best deal and insurance company I hav found so far.

I understand, that's why I have used them in the past. I just wondered if there was something better. If not. I will be happy to continue using bajabound.

Hello mrfatboy,

What are you looking to improve upon? Price? Coverage limits?

Feel free to send me a U2U and I will be happy to look at the policies you have done in the past, and see what we can do to suit your needs!

mrfatboy - 6-17-2009 at 03:50 PM

Just a basic policy for 4 days. I believe bajabound is $50. Same price for the week. I was just wondering if I could get it cheaper.

woody with a view - 6-17-2009 at 04:06 PM

no.

i mean $12.50 a day???? :lol:

that's cheap! spring for the week in case you have car trouble you will still have a "window".

mrfatboy - 6-17-2009 at 04:17 PM

The other quotes were for $30. It's not that big of a deal. I just wanted best bang for the buck.

No offense Geoff, but I've used your agency and also mexadventure.com.
To be realistic, since I have a past in the industry, brokers are basically at the whim of the carriers. Translation: If Geoff, at Bajabound, can't meet your financial needs, then, it's unlikely that Mexadventure could either. It's the carriers that set the rates.

and Geoff (www.bajabound.com) supports this web site (none of the others do)!

Bob and Susan - 6-17-2009 at 05:44 PM

its the SUPPORT of the company by supplying
lawyer assistance
thats IMPORTANT!!!

others dont have that and
if you get into a wreck AND HURT SOMEONE
you are going to JAIL!!!

mrfatboy - 6-17-2009 at 07:04 PM

I knew that bajabound was supporter of this website. I have always used them in the past. I even met some of the bajabound guys in Rosarito. Good guys. I just didn't want to pay double if I had to :lol:

So you better get my a$$ out of jail if I ever get in an accident. Knock on wood, god forbid :lol:

So, Geoff, you have my $50.

Very true howodd....but we are able to offer a range of liability levels that will make a difference in the price. If mrfatboy previously got 150K in liability but wanted to save a few bucks this time around, there are three other lower levels of coverage that would be cheaper. That is what I was suggesting!

Thanks for the support mrfatboy!

And yes...your policy does have legal aid and bail bond included.

Good point, Geoff.

Paladin - 6-19-2009 at 06:25 PM

$30?? $50???

The best deal???

Buy the CHEAPEST one and dont have a claim.

Boy do I want out

mrfatboy - 6-19-2009 at 08:54 PM

isn't that the truth! Never have a claim. But when you are siting in a mexican jail, I bet you wished you paid the $8 extra :lol:
