William Kitto was not traveling for his first time in Mexico when he got into an accident near San Vincente, Mexico while driving his friend’s pick-up.The drive was difficult due to a driving rain storm, which quickly left him at the mercy of his friend’s Mexican insurance policy.

Bill and his friend were traveling at 30 MPH hour when they rounded a corner to find a Mexican military truck hurtling towards them partly on their side of the road. Not able to avoid the crash, the two vehicles hit head-on left, sending military personnel down an embankment and Bill and his friend into the drop-off wall on the opposite side.

Within minutes, the Mexican police arrive and one speeds an injured Bill away to a location unknown to him or his companion who is left standing roadside. In Mexico, they practice Napoleonic Law, where there is no ‘innocent until proven guilty’-exactly the opposite.

There’s a good reason why savvy travelers buy Mexican Car Insurance Policy before leaving home.

Bill finds himself in a Mexican detention cell without any contact and without any knowledge of his fate, mostly because at this point he has no way of knowing whether his friend even carried Mexico Insurance. Hours later, the police return to take him back to the accident site where he is able to see his friend and his friend’s Mexican car insurance policy. But there is much more to go through.

In short, Bill spends 8 days in a Mexican infirmary trying his best to remain injured enough to avoid the inside of a Mexican jail; he’s at the mercy of the local authorities, and ancient technology that makes any chance of getting back to the US seem incredibly remote. There were a lot of times when Will was uncertain if he would ever be free again.

At long last, Bill does get a chance at freedom, but only after dropping almost $30,000 cash out of his own pocket, and even though his friend’s cheap bare bones insurance policy covered some damage.

Make sure you carry quality Mexico Car Insurance in your vehicle, make sure you have enough coverage limit, and put your insurance ID cards inside your WALLET.

It can save you hours, weeks, or even months of potential difficulty!
