There has been many a debate about car rental insurance and whether it is a necessity or not. The one thing that you must keep in mind is that car rental companies make money on selling you this option, so they want you to take it, plus it covers their vehicle, which honestly is the only thing that they are truly concerned about.
Here are some of the most asked questions about rental insurance, and the answer are most likely going to surprise many of you.
Q: DOESNT MY REGULAR CAR INSURANCE POLICY COVER ME WHEN I AM DRIVING A RENTAL CAR?
A: YES….Many insurance companies will still cover you when you are driving in a rental car. However, it is advisable that you contact your insurance company, prior to picking up your rental vehicle, just to make sure that is so. Otherwise you will not be completely confident that you will be covered and may spend money, on rental insurance from the rental company, you could have otherwise saved.

US and Canadian travelers take extra care in choosing an insurance company at home, but fail to protect themselves adequately while driving in Mexico on vacation or business. This is understandable because Mexico insurance coverage can be confusing.
Mexico applies Napoleonic law, so it is critical that you are protected from being “confined” in case you are determined to be responsible in a car accident. Mexico is excluded for damages to others in all United States and Canadian issued “Liability” or “Full Coverage” insurance policies and most do not cover collision to you vehicle (some allow collision coverage near the border areas so check with your agent).
To help find top quality Mexican Auto Insurance protection, astute motorists begin by checking financial $ strength, independent ranking, and loss handling reputation and ability of their potential insurer as a first step and then compare internet features, limits, and rate quotes that satisfy their needs as a 2nd step.

There are numerous differences between US, Canadian and Mexico automobile Insurance policies. Mexico law states that insurers who are licensed and recognized by Mexico authorities are allowed to provide “liability” insurance covering you against bodily injury or property damage you might do to others. The Republic of Mexico has no policy that dictates insurers to be tested and ranked to evaluate finances or claims paying ability
Your US or Canadian policy may extend physical damage coverage within past the US border for a limited number of miles. (Most do not) Please check with your insurance agent before you leave home. Car Insurance for Mexico is sold a la carte, with numerous unrated insurers limiting coverage in order to appear to reduce price, as there is no “standard” policy coverage.
It should not be surprising, that the insurance companies with the best reputation for paying claims fairly tend to be rated companies. Claims for Property Damage to 3rd parties are finalized on an “actual cash value” basis, guided by Mexico practice of law. Check Kelly Blue Book or N.A.D.A. Guide (nada.com) for correct ACV values
