Bajabound & HDI Seguros Insurance

bajaguy - 12-28-2012 at 12:59 PM

Just wanted to say that due to an unexpected event I had to use the services of HDI Seguros insurance purchased through Bajabound, a Nomads sponsor.

Made one call to the HDI call center and talked to an english speaking call-taker, who promptly put me in contact with an english speaking adjuster.

Adjuster met us at the police station in about 30 minutes, dealt with the towing company, the police and the other driver and handled all of the details.

I contacted Geoff from Bajabound the next morning and he will be keeping track of the claim progess with HDI.

So far, so good, and I highly recommend Bajabound. Will report on the status/results of the claim as soon as I know anything.

Safe driving, and wear those seat belts!!!

What happened?

I pay attention to positive outcomes of Mex Ins
experiences, because I have a distrust of Ins Co's in general,
Mex Ins Co's even more so, not that I've had any
negative incidents with them. Just that I don't think
of Ins Co's as FRIENDLY. I figure it is best to go with
the Co's that posters have had positive results. My feeling
is that the Mex Co is FAR more important than which
US broker you buy from, I would think if push came
to shove, the Mex Co would have the final say, not
the US broker, glad you had a good response

I have my insurance through HDI as well. Hope you don't have a problem with the claim.

Wonderful to hear!

So far, so good, assuming the adjuster didnt try and hit you up for money for simply doing his job. I've had that happen on two occasions in Mexico.

Was an other driver involved in the incident? If so, did they have insurance?

Yes, please keep us posted.

I almost drownd when my car ended upside down in a canal and I couldn't get the damn belt undone. Also a friend got 1st and 2nd degree burns when his car cought on fire and he couldn't undo his belt. If they are so great why aren't they mandatory on school busses?

I had HDI insurance through Discover Baja when I totalled my boat last year. They were awesome!

I agree and I wear it. Just relaying some experience while wering them.

I was about as anti seat belt as anyone until i had a minor accident in my 18 wheel truck. When it came to a rest I found myself under the dash board on the passenger side banged up and bruised. I still balk at wearing them but usually buckle up.
