Thank You, Great Comments
A few more questions... How has everyone's experience with the on-line reservation site been? I stay about 45 minutes outside of La Paz, and in the
past I've had to always drive in the the BCFerries office to purchase tickets, and often come on day when they are mysteriously closed.
Also, Is Pichelingue the only Aduana Office where I can acquire my Vehicle Temporary Importation sticker for the mainland?
What's the price for the non-window/non-private cabin?

I tried the online reservation system and got as far as putting my US license plate number in and got stuck.
Also it is slower than the second coming. . . .
I ended up calling their 800 number and getting Dorian on the line. He speaks perfect English and did the reservation up in no time.
Got e mail confirmation and the number, presented it to the ticket office at the ferry dock and voila.
We picked up our tickets at the ticket office in P-nchelingue on ferry day - and at the same time got the Vehicle Permit from Bajercito.
No idea what the non window, non bathroom cabin costs. Have to get past the first several pages of the on line reservation form to get to the other
costs, etc.

Question on the TVIP for vehicle transport...do the costs stay the same for 2008 and newer motorcycles? $400 seems pretty high for a moto....

Great email response, motos are expensive....
North of La Paz is the port of Pichilingue located. Thats the place where you have to board the Ferry.
At this port Banjercito has an office where you can apply for a temporary import permit for your motorcycle.The cost is 48.84 USD for the permit and
in addition to that you have to pay a refundable deposit .
You need your US-Passport and the registration of your motorcycle. Please ask our agent where you can cancel your permit when you return from Mexico
to the US. It is required to cancel the permit to get a refund of the deposit.
With best regards
===========================
The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP) has issued a decree which states that beginning on June 11th, 2011 anyone applying for a temporary
import permit for vehicles must make a deposit in the amount determined by the following table:
Vehicle Year Model Amount to be paid in Mexican Pesos based on applicable exchange rate
2007 and later 400 USD
2001 until 2006 300 USD
2000 and earlier 200 USD
This deposit is compulsory and can be paid by credit card, debit card, or cash (in US Dollars only). Users must keep in mind that if the deposit is
charged to a credit card, the charge will be made in Mexican Pesos and will be calculated based on the exchange rate of the day on which the payment
is made. This deposit will be refunded to the same credit card on the next banking business day after the vehicle is fully returned and based on the
exchange rate of that day.
The vehicle must be returned on time and within the time period stated on the temporary import permit. If the vehicle is returned after the stated
time period, the entire deposit amount will be transferred to the Office of the Treasury on the day following the expected return date, as allowed by
current law.

Gosh, I really thought there would be a lesser deposit amount for motorcycles.
When we went in November, there were lots of motorcycles - probably 10 each way, but maybe they were Mexican plated bikes.
Whoa! Mucho dinero!
We took a '94 pickup over, so not too bad and will get the $200 back when we go to the border in a couple of months.
