In Mexico,Third Party Liability insurance is required by law on all vehicles. Customers can obtain coverage for damages and injuries to third parties, up to the policy limits, under the local rental car company's insurance by purchasing its Third Party Liability Protection (TPL). The purchase of TPL is required unless the customer presents valid proof of current liability insurance specifying coverage in Mexico.

Please be aware that most auto insurance policies from outside Mexico do not provide coverage in Mexico.  Liability insurance purchased on third party travel websites and insurance that accompanies US credit or debit cards are not acceptable forms of coverage. Employees of the local rental car company are not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the customer's personal auto insurance coverage. The customer should contact their insurance company in advance of the pickup date for the rental with any questions regarding their specific coverage. Further, if the customer provides acceptable proof of current liability coverage in Mexico and declines to purchase the TPL offered by the local rental car company, an additional authorization in the amount of $2,500.00 USD will be held on his or her credit card.
