Importing a Rhino
No, not the kind that walks on all fours, the kind that has four wheels.
I am considering buying a used Rhino type vehicle in San Diego and having it imported and shipped to San Jose del Cabo.
Questions are;
What experiences have you with doing this?
Can you drive it on city streets if imported?
Did you get a regular vehicle license for it or some kind of special thing?
I drive an unlicensed quad all over the place out here on dirt, but not into town or on pavement (much). Could do the same with the Rhino, but would
be nice to be able to drive it to town too.
I do have a Mexican DL.
I occasionally see a Rhino type vehicle driving around town so will have to pay closer attention next time I see one and see if there is a license on
it. Probably not.

But where do you hang the license plate?

It's not the hanging, it's keeping it clean.

I imported my golf cart at otay mesa...had to use a broker there
for a pidemento
I had a receipt but they still looked it up on the internet for comps
to import and ship you'll need a freight fwder...figure 20% of value plus shipping...they will find the shipping company
they cant be licensed so its no problem

A friend of ours brought a Gem car down last October.
Came through San Isydro. Had a lot of people looking at it and asking questions, but, in the end, got through without any duty.
And it's indeed a gem. Is fully licensed and road legal. At its road setting it does 25mph. as a golfcart its setting only allows 14mph

Easiest way to import one...
but you might want a larger carrier for a 4 seater.

I have brought in 3 quads and a jet ski with no problems. The atv's are not tagged, maybe that is the issue?
