buenas dias! ok..i read about having 2 cars and a mx drivers license, and only needing 1 ins policy for both cars. did a search. can not find info.

for your replies.DENNIS - 10-17-2015 at 07:23 AM
Mexican drivers don't qualify for driver's license insurance. They've always had to pay the big pesos [expensive] for coverage. that's why so many go
without it, and hit 'n run is a national sport.
Anyway, you may be caught up in this........I don't know.Paulclark - 10-17-2015 at 07:54 AM
In most Mexican jurisdictions liability insurance is now mandatory, however being Mexico........
On a Mexican licensed vehicle liability insurance is about $200.00 USD per year and full coverage on a $30,000 car runs about $1,000 per year.
I don't know about the toll road as we take Hwy 5 now.DENNIS - 10-17-2015 at 08:08 AM
thx for you replies. I have my mx auto ins w/ lewis and lewis. satisfied . but I read on this forum last week that w/ a mx driver license you could
insure 2 cars on one policy. if I get no replies I will contact L&L on Monday and write w/ my findings bajagrouper - 10-17-2015 at 09:20 AM
Here is a site that gives point to point KM, driving times and tolls.
Just enter the starting state and town then the destination state and town........easy
Yes, there are. Depends on your route where and how many. mexicolily - 10-17-2015 at 09:43 AM
I need to look at the routes, and then I will ask again. thx!bajatrailrider - 10-17-2015 at 09:45 AM

There should be 2 military checkpoints you would go through, 1 on 15D and 1 after Mexicali on highway 2 before you go up the grade..that one they were
very serious, went through boxes and bags in back and underneath the front seats, glove compartments, center counsel, everywhere....bajaguy - 10-17-2015 at 10:48 AM
I would consider taking Hwy 5 south from the Mexicali area, then Hwy 3 west to Ensenada
There "may" be a checkpoint at the intersection of Hwy 3 and Hwy 5, just north of San Felipe, and there is always one on Hwy 3 at Ojos Negros.mexicolily - 10-17-2015 at 10:53 AM
good info BAJA guy y grouper just what I was looking for. I will be pulling a
small trailer w/ my meager belongings. ugh....bajaguy - 10-17-2015 at 11:25 AM
I wouldn't concern yourself with the military checkpoints.
Just make sure you have good tires and a spare for your trailer, check/grease the wheel bearings, the trailer lights all work and you have the
equipment and knowledge to change a flat tiremexicolily - 10-17-2015 at 12:01 PM
thankyou Bajaguy. will have all checked by my mechanic before departing. not so good on the tire changing. I think I will have the mechanic give me a
refresher course. so the check points are mellow in Baja? in Sonora,they are a little sensitive. and at the nogales border entering az they usually
pull people over to secondary if they have a trailer. even if they have those little top of the car carriers. Bajahowodd - 10-17-2015 at 05:15 PM
I do not think that I was ever asked for my drivers license at any military checkpoint.TedZark - 10-17-2015 at 07:27 PM
In 28 months full time in Baja California, I don't think I have ever spent more than 45 seconds at a military check point. mexicolily - 10-17-2015 at 07:33 PM
from san carlos Sonora to Nogales/border, there is one military check pt. they are usually pretty tranquila...but
they LOVE their new x-ray machine. like a kid with a new toy
just what I was looking for. I will be pulling a
small trailer w/ my meager belongings. ugh....
