Baja vehicle insurance

[Mikesjku]

Dumb question, for a trip to Baja and I need insurance can I go thru my insurance company “Progressive” or due I go to a actual Mexico covered policy. Any recommendations would be great,never drove out of country so all info would be appreciated.

Not a dumb question.
Get the Mexican insurance. It's required. Not to mention it may keep you out of jail or your vehicle impounded should you be involved in an accident.

Hey! I was just wondering the same. Also what happens if you are off road? Can you get insurance for that?

i'm not sure if any companies offer off-road insurance, but I do know that the "normal" mexico vehicle insurance that you are required to get does NOT cover any off-road driving or "unconventional roads" which sounds subjective

from Bajabound:

Coverage is only valid on conventional roads. Coverage while off-roading, racing and driving on non-conventional roads is excluded.​
