¿Necesito un vehículo permiso para México?

Si usted está conduciendo en la frontera con México, como Tijuana, Mexicali, Cuidad Juárez, Piedras Negras, Nuevo Laredo o Matamoros, entonces no necesita permiso para su vehículo. Esto se considera una zona libre o Frontera. Generalmente, la zona se extiende aproximadamente de 20-26 kilómetros (aproximadamente 12-16 millas) hasta llegar a una ubicación de la Aduana/Banjercito (puerto o cabina)

¿Qué hay sobre los permisos para Sonora, Puerto Peñasco o Baja?

Usted no necesita un permiso de vehículo si viaja específicamente en Baja, o en algunas zonas de Sonora, como Puerto Peñasco. Por favor ver el mapa de arriba y comprobar en banjercito (enlace más abajo) para asegurarse de que toda la información está actualizada.

¿Puedo obtener mi permiso de vehículo antes de salir de casa?

Sí. Usted puede solicitar en línea a través de Banjercito. Sin embargo, todavía necesitará parar en uno de los lugares contemplados (seguir leyendo para conocer más sobre esto). Lo que usted esta haciendo, es limitar la cantidad de tiempo de espera en línea, puesto que ya se han presentado la mayor parte de su información antes de ingresar a México vía Banjercito. Debe esperar 10 días hábiles para procesar esta solicitud antes de la emisión del permiso.

¿Cuántos días antes puedo solicitar este permiso?

Esto se conoce técnicamente como un permiso de importación temporal, recuerde que es un permiso temporal. Proporciona un tiempo adecuado para entrar al país con su vehículo registrado Estados Unidos o Canadá, previo a devolver el vehículo a su lugar de registro (Estados Unidos o Canadá) en general, puede solicitar desde 180 hasta 386 días, dependiendo del tipo de Visa. También puede solicitar un menor número de días, si lo desea. Algunos solicitan 180 días con la intención de salir, para luego regresar otra vez, antes de la fecha de vencimiento de su permiso, evitando de esta manera este proceso otra vez. (Importante: Vea los procedimientos de cancelación abajo)

Costo de su permiso de vehículo

Aproximadamente 56 dólares por vehículo. Para el costo y el tipo de cambio actual (Pesos a USD$), vaya a Banjercito (darle unos momentos para cargar), ya dentro del sitio, usted puede elegir su idioma de preferencia, Español o Inglés (Inglés) en la esquina superior derecha de esta página.

Si eres un Ciudadano mexicano viviendo legalmente en los Estados Unidos o Canadá y luego debe proporcionar uno de los siguientes documentos:

  • Residente permanente tarjeta (extranjero residente).

  • Certificado de naturalización.

  • Pasaporte (no mexicano).

  • Tarjeta de pasaporte.

Si usted es un extranjero a México, entonces usted tendrá que proporcionar un pasaporte o tarjeta de pasaporte y el documento oficial expedido por el Instituto Nacional de Migración (Instituto Nacional de inmigración).

Depósito de una garantía para su permiso de vehículo

Las siguientes cantidades se aplican como un depósito o “Garantía” para el gobierno de México para la importación temporal de su vehículo a México y se basa en el año de su vehículo. Se puede utilizar una tarjeta de débito o crédito, emitidos a su nombre. Este depósito se devolverá a su cuenta después de que el permiso del vehículo se cancele y debe darse previo a la fecha de vencimiento de su permiso. Algo importante para recordar si utiliza una tarjeta de débito.

Año modelo del vehículo
2007 y más adelante $ 400 USD
2001 hasta 2006 $ 300 USD
2000 y anteriores $ 200 USD

Cancelación de su permiso

ESTO ES IMPORTANTE. Usted debe cancelar su permiso antes de la fecha de caducidad de su período. No hacerlo implicará un largo proceso para cancelar el permiso ya EXPIRADO. Tome nuestra palabra y no lo tome a la ligera. Usted perderá su depósito (garantía) y la posibilidad de que no se le permita regresar a México hasta haber arreglado la situación (extraído de su sistema)

¿Por qué México nos hace hacer esto?

Esto se conoce técnicamente como un permiso de importación temporal. La razón de por qué México requiere esto es simple, el costo de un coche nuevo o usado en México es caro. Realmente es más caro que los Estados Unidos o Canadá. Los ciudadanos mexicanos tienen que pagar IVA (impuesto) por una compra de vehículos y muchos no pueden pagarlo. En consecuencia, muchos mexicanos simplemente no pagan el impuesto de un vehículo importado, además sirve para tratar de eliminar la entrada de vehiculos no permitidos a territorio nacional. ¡México pierde entonces sobre el impuesto de importación que asciende a millones de personas! Si usted no puede devolver o cancelar su permiso antes de su fecha de vencimiento, automáticamente perderá el depósito que pagó basado en el valor de su vehículo mencionado.

Pope Francis confirms scheduled visit to Cd. Juarez

Leave a reply

It’s official. Pope Francis is scheduled to visit Cd. Juarez, which is located directly across from El Paso Texas.

Sometime between February 12th and the 20th of 2016, the Pontiff stated that the Papal visit to Cd. Juarez is the last of four scheduled visits to Mexico, something he wanted to do as far back as last September.

According to the El Paso Times, “Juárez officials estimate that as many as 2 million people from the United States and Mexico may travel to Juárez to see the popular pontiff. The visit would be an economic boost to hotels and other businesses in the region.”

Juárez Mayor Enrique Serrano Serrano urged Juarenses to prepare themselves and invited them to open their homes to family members from out of town who plan to travel to Juárez.

Mayor Serrano said all of the municipal gymnasiums will be open on the day the pope visits and will be used as shelters for visitors who cannot find a hotel room to spend the night. Local hotels and motels, including those in El Paso Texas, expect full occupancy.

It does not appear that El Paso Texas will be on the list of scheduled visits to the border region, but is expected to host many who make the trip.

If you want to see Pope Francis, and not have to spend a lot of money or time to do so, then this will be an excellent opportunity to do so. Make plans today.

If traveling by car to Mexico, visit here to view what is needed to cross into Mexico and return to the U.S.

What happens when a Mexican Citizen can’t pay a medical bill from U.S.

Leave a reply

My understanding, and this was derived from a niece of a friend of a friend who works in a major hospital on the border of the U.S. and Mexico.

They are unable to physically hold you (like in Mexico) for non payment of your medical bill. You can go as you please. However, and this is a big however, they might provide your personal information (not your medical information as this would be in violation with HIPPA) to the U.S. Consulate via a bill collection agency for example.

What can they do? They can withhold your Tourist Visa renewal, that’s what can happen.

If you are already a Mexican citizen, you already know that you do not want to encounter this scenario as time is not on your side. It is on the side of the medical provider, and the U.S. Department that handles the issuance of foreign visitors Visa’s.

The best course of action, is simple. If you do not have medical insurance that will cover you in the U.S., or you don’t have any medical insurance at all, then look into an International Health and Accident program or plan. They are easy to understand, inexpensive, and possibly a safety net if you find yourself in the position of having to visit an out of country hospital while visiting in the U.S.

The same or similar criteria occurs if you are stopped in Texas for example, and you do not have a car insurance policy that covers you in Texas. Either of these circumstances are easy to address.

There is an affordable, 3rd party liability auto policy that can be written by the day, week, month or year, much like the International Health and Accident program mentioned above.

If you have any questions about either, please feel free to contact us via Email, or phone at 001-915-591-8279 if you are in Mexico. OR, if you are already in the U.S. and need to ask us anything about International travel between the Americas, then give us a call at (915) 591-8279.

We also have information regarding this same scenario, except reverse. For those traveling into Mexico from the U.S. of Canada, in their personal car, or have need of International Health & Accident coverage for anywhere outside of the U.S. give or a call (#’s above) or Email us at ici@mxici.com

We would be delighted to answer your questions, comments or concerns.

Seguros para U.S.A.

Leave a reply

¿Viaja a los Estados Unidos Americanos (U.S.A.) en su vehículo para esta navidad?

Tal vez planea visitar a Ruidoso, Nuevo México, o San Antonio, o tal vez hasta Houston, Austin o Dallas. No importa a donde viaja en la union Americana. Si viaja a California, Arizona, Nuevo Mexico, o Nevada, los requisitos de Seguros son los mismos. Usted debe obtener una póliza para U.S.A. prévio a cruzar la frontera.

Cuando ingresa a los Estados Unidos, es importante recordar que es sujeto a las mismas leyes de tránsito que todos los Americanos. Aunque sea de la República Mexicana, no se le otorga mas indulgencia que la que reciben los Americanos cuando viajan a México y rompen una ley de tránsito. Paisanos y Americanos sin conocimiento, podrían ser lo suficiente valientes y pagar la “mordida” en México, pero bajo ninguna circunstancia usted debe intentar hacer eso en los Estados Unidos. Esto lo meterá en problemas mucho muy sérias.

En Texas por ejemplo, las leyes de tránsito y las multas por romperlas, son diferente a las del resto de país. Aquí le damos una lista de pocas de las leyes y las multas correspondientes si lo agarran rompiendo alguna. DWI traduce a conduciendo ebrio y es un cargo MUY serio.

$100 USD$: Conduciendo sin licensia de manejo
$250 USD$: Conduciendo sin seguro
$1,000 USD$: DWI
$1,500 USD$: 2 o mas ofensas de DWI
$2,000 USD$: Convicto de DWI con nivel de alcol de o arriba de .16

Si es acusado de DWI, se quedará grabado en sus antecedentes hasta 7 años. Hasta podría prevenirle adquirir o renovar su mica de residencia, si la tuviese.

Lo ovio es obedecer las leyes de tránsito. Usted es un huesped en este país, y hací como los Americanos debemos respetar y obedecer las leyes de tránsito cuando viajamos a México, también usted cuando viaja en la union Americana.

La compra de un seguro para USA es rápido y sencillo. Se puede adquirir por día, semana, mes o anual. Esta cobertura es suscrita y administrada por una compañía aseguradora Americana, legalmente registrada y autorizada.

No se deje engañar por personas anunciando, vendiendo o mercadiando pólizas para USA en los puentes o puertos internacionales. Algunas no valen ni el papel que le presentan como póliza. Puede pensar que compró un seguro válido, que lo cubre en Estados Unidos, y luego descubrir lo contrario al momento de un accidente. ¡ Esto puede resultar muy costoso!

Nosotros le podemos proveer productos de seguros por medio de compañías aseguradoras legalmente registradas y autorizadas en los Estados Unidos. Visite nuestro sitio www.mxici.com o haga clic aquí, para su compra rápida y sencilla de una póliza para USA.

Best Value in Mexico Insurance

Leave a reply

Like the commercial says, “if we all saved as much as such and such insurance. we would have saved a bucket of money”, blah blah blah.

When it comes to Mexico Tourist Auto insurance, it means way more than just saving money. There is or can be tremendous value in your policy.

You see, Mexico treats a collision, bodily injury, differently than in the U.S. Even if it is your own injury and you are not at fault, they handle it under the rule and laws of their own sovereign country.

Additionally, Mexico does not recognize your U.S. auto insurance! I don’t care what anyone says, they don’t or they do not have to. If you wish to pay the Piper (mordida, the bite, bribe, etc.) wink, wink, go for it. Technically, they only recognize insurance as underwritten by a Mexican insurance company. Um, because of all of the ambulance chasing abogados (attorneys) out there, do not take the paying a bribe seriously. Just a joke…

What would you appreciate more? Let’s say you are visiting friends, relatives, or just cruising through Mexico to get to your favorite tourist destination or street vending taco stand. Would you be better off by not purchasing a Mexico Tourist Auto policy prior to your trip down Mexico way? OR, would you just count on the coverage as promised by your local insurance agent, you know, the Mexico Endorsement to your personal auto policy? Who you gonna call if (something) hits the fan? No it’s not your U.S. insurance agent, cause there is nothing he can do. In Mexico, they address car claims, injuries or property damage right there on the spot…and typically right away. How about being able to contact the Claims Center of your Mexico Tourist Auto insurance company? You better hope so, especially if you find yourself in something more than a fender bender.

Here is where the service of your Mexico claims center of your Mexico Tourist Auto insurance comes in. Some Mexico insurance companies don’t answer that call right away. Some might not answer at all. Yet there are some who take pride in themselves, their products, and service. Guess what? They are not all priced the same, and they certainly do not all provide the same service.

That is where a good Mexico insurance company comes in. Though the companies we represent are certainly competitive, they are more than that. They each make a commitment to provide the best service in their industry. That doesn’t mean you will have an Adjustor at your vehicle within 30 minutes, or even an hour. The Adjustors are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and are also on call for their native, auto insurance customers as well. Think of it, if you are in Mexico City on a Friday afternoon and have an accident, you will find out that Mexico City is huge, and that you are not the only one to be involved in an accident at any given time. Not an excuse, reality.

The absolute best thing you can do in respect to vehicle travel in Mexico is to familiarize yourself with your policies Claims Instructions, and then follow them. It really is quite simple. If you have difficulty with providing your location to a Claims Center, then ask someone. Common sense, right?

We enjoy posting these tidbits for you, and hope that you too enjoy them. If you have any feedback, we would love to see it. If it is interesting, or provides help or service to those who are traveling South of the Border, we will certainly consider them.

Green Angels, Angels of Mercy

Leave a reply

Hello to all fun loving adventurers to Mexico!

Included today maybe the most valuable item yet in our blog, information on the Green Angels, sponsored by the Secretary of Tourism of Mexico.

For tourists experiencing a mechanical breakdown, these guys and the services they provide may well be better than a Spring Break fiesta. They do not charge for their service, only parts, and any oil or gas needed to get you on your way. They advertise bilingual mechanics, but you may run into the one, or two, or however many, that may not be bilingual, at least in English! Nonetheless, when these guys show up, you will be glad they did. Oh, before I forget, tips are welcomed, though not mandatory. Don’t be a cheap tourist…

Enjoy a brief video of an actual Green Angel patrol extending their hand to a tourist experiencing a break down. We have all been there, but it is amazingly different when it is in another country. Probably more so, when breaking down in the Republic of Mexico! The video is about 6:00 + minutes, and you can basically skip to about the 1:45 mark to see the Green Angels do their thing.

Below is a link to the service area map for the Green Angels. In addition, you can also visit other programs for info from the Secretary of Tourism in Mexico.

Will my Arizona personal auto policy provide coverage if I drive my vehicle into Mexico?

Leave a reply

As with most if not all border States to Mexico, each instructs you to at least purchase 3rd party liability (that is $ for the other guy if you are at fault in an accident) from a valid Mexico insurance company. FYI, they are not all the same. For the State of Arizona, the following is published for the benefit of their citizenry who wish to drive their Arizona registered vehicle into Mexico. A very valid reason as one of the most popular destinations in Mexico is just across their border…Puerto Penasco, or Rocky Point as it is commonly known.

Will my Arizona personal auto policy provide coverage if I drive my vehicle into Mexico?

“Mexican law requires that you purchase separate liability coverage from a Mexican insurer before operating your vehicle in Mexico. Your Arizona personal auto policy may provide some limited coverage on a limited basis (within 25-50 miles of the Mexican border), but this coverage does not meet the insurance requirements of the Republic of Mexico. Failure to purchase proper Mexican liability insurance may result in many hours in a Mexican jail or a heavy fine if you are involved in an accident while operating your vehicle in Mexico.”

Obviously, the answer is, YES, Mexico does require 3rd party liability from a recognized Mexican insurance company, and no, your personal auto insurance written in Arizona is not recognized in the country of Mexico. For a few dollars a day, you can purchase not only the liability insurance, but one that also comes with a large number of other covered items and benefits, such as Travel Assistance, Legal Assistance, Towing, Medical Payments, etc… All are determined by their insurance companies “Terms & Conditions”.

So don’t wait. Go and enjoy all the good things our neighbors to the South can offer. Fine dining, and not so fine dining. 4 star hotels and no star hotels. Beautiful beaches and, well, you get the picture. Lest we forget, ALL for very little dinero!

Will my New Mexico Auto insurance policy cover me in Mexico?

Leave a reply

Rather than bore you with a narrative of what I know after 32 years in the insurance business, I will just let this actual text from the New Mexico Department of Insurance answer this question:

” Will my New Mexico personal auto policy provide coverage if I drive my vehicle into Mexico?

Mexican law requires that you purchase separate liability coverage from a Mexican insurer before operating your vehicle in Mexico. Your New Mexico personal auto policy may provide some limited coverage on a limited basis (within 25-50 miles of the Mexican border); however, this coverage does not meet the insurance requirements of the Republic of Mexico. Failure to purchase proper Mexican liability insurance may result in many hours in a Mexican jail or a heavy fine if you are involved in an accident while operating your vehicle in Mexico. Check with your company or agent to determine the coverage available under your specific policy.”

After having personally assisted someone who relied upon their own personal auto policy, I know. Having to find this out, after the fact, is not very wise, but rather stupid. When for a few bucks a day, you can purchase 3rd party liability insurance which can certainly help, and won’t hurt.

Anyone who has family, friends, or even work in Mexico, can benefit from our knowledge, and certainly our insurance products for both sides of the border. We insure U.S. residents or citizens traveling to Mexico, and we can insure Mexico Residents or citizens traveling into the U.S.

So call us, write us, even fax us, for the finest service from the best insurance companies with the most competitive prices!

Will my Texas Auto insurance policy cover me in Mexico?

Leave a reply

Not long ago, I decided to write the TDI (Texas Dept. of Insurance) to see if they could, if they would, answer a question that I had regarding insurance regulations or agreements between the two countries.

I asked, “What would happen if a Mexican citizen had an accident in the State of Texas and depended upon their own Mexican auto insurance company?” An actual copy of the response is below.

LetterOfTexasDeptInsurance

In addition to answering the question about a Mexican citizens auto insurance being applied in Texas, they also addressed the issue of a Texas citizens auto policy extending into the Republic of Mexico.

This is an area that we, and especially our border States, have been trying to educate our citizenry forever, and that is;

“Texas does not have a reciprocal agreement with Mexico. We do not recognize Mexican Auto insurance policies, nor does Mexico recognize Texas auto insurance policies.”

In addition to this statement, the Texas Department of Insurance also publishes a pamphlet for this specific scenario. It too, can be viewed directly after the recent TDI correspondence.

We thoroughly enjoy our job, in helping our many friends, and families with their international insurance needs, no matter where. Thank you!
