For those of us (perhaps) few, who have been covered by the USAA border policies, new arrangements will have to be made. USAA called this morning and
offered a number of alternatives for replacing the auto liability coverage they offered to Americans living within 100 miles of the border; those
policies are being discontinued due to low participation. Bottom line, I decided to purchase standard US liability coverage from them and maintain
"driver's license" insurance for Mexico. Of course, that leaves me on the hook for collision. Any ideas?bajaguy - 3-2-2011 at 09:00 AM

ow that is a smart idea! Bundling with SENTRI in theory gets the insurer the cream of low-risk drivers. Nice job geoff.Gaucho - 3-2-2011 at 10:39 AM

But does that cover you on both sides of the border as the USAA Border Policy did?bajaguy - 3-2-2011 at 07:03 PM
Nope, just southBajaGeoff - 3-3-2011 at 06:10 PM
Bajamigo.....USAA has never provided the liability coverage aspect in Mexico, but they did cover comp/collision for your own vehicle 100 miles south
of the border.
Liability coverage must originate from a Mexican company or else it is a worthless piece of paper in the eyes of the authorities.bajamigo - 3-4-2011 at 07:47 AM
You're probably right. My policy describes its collision coverage, but I always had the sense that USAA, while otherwise supremely competent, wasn't
sure about what they were offering in these border policies. That may be one of the reasons they're simply dropping the program.BajaGeoff - 3-4-2011 at 12:19 PM
I wish USAA had a Mexican insurance division! Great service and a great company.Cypress - 3-4-2011 at 01:20 PM
