Question

Will be renting a car in Las Vegas, can we drive it into Mexico without special ins.to cross the border?

Answer 1

No, NO, No...passports are NOT needed to DRIVE to Mexico...that has been pushed back and there is NO date set yet...but it will be later than next summer.  See site below and read top half of the page carefully to see this.  Now..you MUST have Mexican car insurance to drive a car into Mexico.  If you are renting the car, i am sure the rental agensycy will discuss this with you ... I am sure they have dealt with this before.  Be SURE to ask them how thy handle this.

Answer 2

For sure, you will need Mexican insurance.   You can arrange it at the border.

Check your rental contract.  Some do not permit rental cars to be taken out of state.  You can bet the rent that the contract will not allow you to take the car out of the country.

Don't do it, in other words.   You don't want to have invalid insurance on a late model rental car.

Answer 3

mintgirl is correct. you need to prove OWNERSHIP to bring a car into Mexico

Answer 4

The rental car company is not going to let you cross the border.  You can drive to the border and park it, and walk across.

Answer 5

hmmm... you wont have to have anything but a passport... you must now have a passport to go over the border.... its the law... and if you get over there and can't get back don't tell me I didn't warn you

Answer 6

I sell insurance to travel into Mexico in Tucson Arizona.  You need to check with the rental place if you can take that car into Mexico.  Some places make you take insurance from them to travel into Mexico others will let you take it thru us.  Our Company is San Xavier Mexico Insurance.  The cost of insurance depends on the value of the vehicle and how long you will be traveling into Mexico.  Have fun and hope we will see you for your insurance.
