If you are heading toward Rocky Point via I-10 and AZ-85 through the Lukeville crossing, or taking I-19 south toward the Nogales border crossings, please note: U.S. and Canadian auto insurance policies are legally invalid for primary liability in Mexico.

Never assume your domestic insurance provides legal protection once you cross the Mexican U.S. border—U.S. policies are not recognized in Mexico. Drivers must carry valid Mexican liability insurance issued by a licensed Mexican carrier. Our southbound auto policies ensure complete legal compliance while protecting your personal finances against vehicle damage, medical expenses, and legal liability. See our Mexico auto insurance options to compare plans for your vehicle and trip.
Your policy requirements depend directly on the type of vehicle you drive, where you travel, and your total trip duration. At our North Phoenix location, we write customized HDI Seguros policies for private automobiles, SUVs, pickup trucks, fly-and-drive rental cars, motorhomes/RVs, ATVs/UTVs, and street-legal motorcycles. Call or visit our office to confirm eligibility and secure immediate coverage.
For riders traveling south across Mexico border crossings, Sanborn’s offers exclusive market-leading protections underwritten by HDI Seguros. In addition to essential Third-Party Liability, Physical Damage, and Total Theft, our exclusive motorcycle options include GAP coverage, Premier Package medical expenses, roadside assistance, coverage for custom accessories, and protective safety gear—delivering complete peace of mind on two wheels.
If you're taking an RV on a longer stay, review Mexico RV insurance coverage. Call our North Phoenix agents to configure the correct policy limits for your RV before departure.
If you're taking a rental car into Mexico, check the rental agreement and insurance terms before you book. Permission to cross the border, eligible use, and the policy’s conditions all matter. The Phoenix location lists Mexico rental-car insurance; ask about the specific rental before relying on any coverage.
Bringing an ATV or UTV on your trip? ATVs and UTVs must be street-legal and registered to qualify for coverage. Underwriting guidelines mandate that coverage applies strictly while operating on public paved roads. Off-road riding, sand dunes, beaches, and recreational racing are explicitly excluded from policy coverage. Call our office to review street-legality criteria and paved-road policy conditions.
