Nice to see you here Rolly! Hope you're doing well. I always appreciated your thoughtful answers to questions I posted on Mexico connect. Sorry, I
know nothing about this subject.

What about insuring the vehicle
If your plates are expired, is it possible to purchase car insurance and have coverage? I mean sure one can buy a policy, but the policy is void
unless current registration is maintained, no?

Lots of good questions. If a temporary importation on a car exempts it from having currant US plates I want to know more. I have more than one car
here and the Calif. registration and insurance is a lot of money and trouble for cars that only see the US for two or three weeks a year if at all. I
have Mex. insurance on all the cars but it may not be valid without currant plates.
So, can I get the temporary import in Santa Rosalia? If not where? And does the car have to be taken to where ever it's applied for? And can you get a
temp. import on a diesel?

Correct, we just went through the whole magilla. If you have US plates they must be current for the insurance to be in force. We just changed to
Mexican plates, had to get new insurance, since the other policy only covers the vehicle with US plates.

Was that the "drivers license" insurance which will insure license or car? Isn't a Mexican policy much more costly? I talked with somebody who has a
Baja plated, ten year old car and he's paying around a thousand dollars per year for full covreage.

You can get TIs for diesel vehicles.

Hi DENNIS,
We have an 11 year old Tahoe. Full coverage (and that means that anyone with a current driver's license from any country is covered when driving the
beast) was 4700 pesos for one year. Liability only was quoted at 1200 pesos for one year. They didn't check for points

Yes, the car has mexican plates. We used the Ortiz Insurance Agency in La Paz. The underwriter is ING.
