All About Insurance

Sierra Tarahumara Chihuahua, México (Video)

Leave a reply

Back in 1992 I was fortunate to be President of Caravanas Voyagers, an RV Tour Operator out of EL Paso Texas. We specialized in organizing RV tours throughout the world, however specializing in the Republic of Mexico!

One of our most popular tours was one that incorporated the use of the Mexican Railroad, or what is now called the Ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacifico. We would load, depending upon each RV’s length, from 15 to 22+ RV’s onto railway flatcars. We would have a Wagonmaster (an experienced leader of the group) and a tailgunner (one who was generally mechanically gifted) who trailed the caravan. Also included was a “guide”, one who was legally licensed with the proper permits for this vocation. We generally ran about 4-6 different routes a season, which of course ran during the winter months, so we could count on a larger RVing crowd from all over North America – Snow Birds! Those who left the North to enjoy the more sunny and warm temperatures of the South during the Winter.

The Copper Canyon, to me, is one of the most unique areas of the world. Traveling by Mexican train was also, obviously unique. I have many, stories but not enough room or time, to relish. Some sad, many funny, and some downright hysterical.

The canyon itself has over 400+ miles with 39 bridges, and 86 tunnels. I remember going into one tunnel, and looking back to see the end of the train coming out of the other tunnel. It is said, the size of the canyon is over 4 and a half times larger than our own Grand Canyon. I personally have been a passenger 3 times, and found every trip to by unique, fun, and remarkable trip.

There are waterfalls, rivers, huge canyons, and Tarahumarans, native Indians to Mexico. These are the peoples who you might have seen on documentaries, who are famous for their long distant running prowess.

I have gone on way to far…for now.

Please take the time to relax, and enjoy one of the most unique landscapes in the world GOD has created. AND, pay special attention to the credits of the gentleman who produced this wonderful video at the end of the film. His name is Carlos Rangel, pictures by Manuel Chávez. It’s about 9+ minutes long, but hey, trust me, there is nothing on t.v. anyway and the scenery will blow your mind.

Reglas para introducir medicamentos de México

Los crecientes costos de los medicamentos recetados en los EE.UU. atrae a más de un ciudadano de los EE.UU. a México para “recetas baratas” . La aduana estadounidense no dispone de estadísticas específicas , pero se puede decir que millones de prescripciones se surten de ciudadanos Americanos y luego traidas ilegalmente a los EE.UU.

Muchas personas piensan que México es laxa en su control y las leyes relativas a medicamentos , incluyendo “sustancias controladas”. Muchos piensan que todo lo que tienen que hacer es visitar una farmacia de la frontera y pedir el medicamento que buscan. Para utilizar un viejo refrán, ” Nada podría estar más lejos de la verdad.”

Las leyes Mexicanas que regulan los narcóticos y medicamentos son similar a las de los EE.UU. Se requiere una prescripción de un médico registrado con el gobierno federal, para un narcótico . Si no lo hace , es un delito muy grave para usted y el vendedor, incluyendo los farmacéuticos . Y por ley , las farmacias mexicanas no reconocen prescripciones extranjeras.

Unos narcoticos populares en los E.E.U.U. como Demerol, Ambian y Vicodin y sus equivalentes genéricos, no se venden sin prescripción médica, y deben ser recetados por un médico mexicano . Si eres capaz de conseguir una de estas sustancias controladas sin la prescripción requerida , tu y el vendedor pueden ser arrestados por las autoridades exicanas por la venta y posesión de una sustancia narcótica. Una advertencia, podrías caer en una prisión Mexicana de 10 meses a 15 años. No pienses que la embajada americana va a hacer lo imposible para ayudarte, contrario del pensamiento de muchos. Le avisarán a tus familiares, te darán unas cuantas cobijas, algunas vitaminas , y luego te dicen ” adiós” . Ahora estas a la merced del sistema judicial Mexicano. La “Mordida” (soborno) no garantiza tu libertad como muchos ciudadanos estadounidences han llegado a enterarse .

Si te estás preguntando lo que son considerados medicamentos controlados en México , puedes visitar el sitio web Mexicano , cofepris.gob.mx , para una lista de ambos medicamentos genéricos y de marca de nombre reconocida.

Si te estas preguntando que se debe presentar a los inspectores aduanales en el puerto de entrada estadounidense , tendrás que presentar la prescripcion de EE.UU. que utilizaste para comprar los medicamentos en México . Hay un sitio web muy útil para la Aduana y Protección Fronteriza de EE.UU. que se puede utilizar para traer medicamentos de México en: cbp.gov

Esperamos que esto le ayude en sus viaje por México. Si tiene alguna pregunta relacionada con este o cualquier otra tema relacionado con viajes a México, por favor haganos lo saber, haremos lo mejor possible para ayudarle.

New Liability Rules in Mexico.

Leave a reply

This past year, something occurred in the Mexican legal system that boggles the mind.

Going from a laisser-faire attitude about its own citizens and their driving without insurance, to now requiring sometimes huge limits for 3rd party liability in certain Mexican states. Most times, Mexican Nationals, when they don’t have a liability policy from a Mexican insurance company, will just bolt or flee. Mexican law is not lax in handling those responsible for causing the accident. The “at fault” driver typically has their vehicle impounded, or if there is injury, then the owner or driver of the at fault car is jailed or held until brought before a Magistrate.

These limits are not just geared to U.S. drivers in Mexico, but also are the standard for Mexican citizens and their own personal cars.

Don’t forget that many people will drive over one state line to another, just like in the U.S., but unlike the U.S., your Mexico auto or tourist auto insurance will NOT adjust itself to the required minimum 3rd party liability limits of an adjoining state. If you are not familiar with this term, 3rd party liability, it means injuries you may cause another person, a 3rd party, not you or one of your passengers.

In addition, most visitors to Mexico, whether Paisanos or just tourists, don’t realize that most Mexican vehicles are valued close to double that of an American car, even if the same year , and model. The reason for that is the IVA, like a sales tax the Mexican Gov’t charges. This generally increases the value of the car. What does this mean to you? It means to replace a Mexican car that you have damaged, or totaled is generally significantly more than a U.S. or Canadian registered vehicle. If you don’t have enough coverage in your policies 3rd party liability limits, then you are responsible ($) for the difference.

Don’t rely on cheap insurance when in Mexico, and certainly don’t rely on some vanilla web site or even your local insurance agent who sells this on the side, when you can speak or E mail those with years of experience in this industry and get the correct answers. We are here to help you. It is what we do, it is what we are paid to do, and we are adamant about being knowledgeable about our products, and our experiences in dealing with Mexico.

Fines for driving with no auto insurance, in U.S.A.

Leave a reply

When you arrive in the U.S., it is important to remember that you are subject to the same traffic laws as all Americans are. Even if you are from the Republic of Mexico, you are not provided any more leniency than Americans receive when traveling in Mexico and breaking the traffic laws. Paisanaos and unknowledgable Americans might be brave enough to pay the “bite” in Mexico but under no circumstances should you attempt that in the U.S. Doing so will only get you in more serious, and I mean serious trouble.

In Texas for example, traffic laws and the fines if you break them are different from the rest of the U.S. So, for the sake of understanding, here are but a few of the laws, and the fines you must pay if you are caught breaking them. DWI means driving while drunk, as is a VERY serious charge.

•$100 USD$: Driving without a license
•$250 USD$: Driving without insurance
•$1,000 USD$: Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
•$1,500 USD$: 2 or more DWI offenses
•$2,000 USD$: DWI conviction with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .16 or more

If you are charged with a DWI, it will remain on your record for up to 7 years. It could also prevent you from acquiring or renewing your U.S. Resident or Green Card.

The obvious thing to do is to obey the U.S. traffic laws. You are a guest, and just as an American is expected to obey Mexico’s traffic laws, so are you while in the U.S.

Purchasing American Tourist Auto insurance is fast and easy. You can purchase it by the day, week, month or year. This coverage is underwritten and administered by a legally licensed and authorized U.S. insurance company.

Don’t take the chance of being pulled over by a police officer and not having prove of U.S. tourist auto insurance, it is an expensive fine, and one that is very inexpensive to purchase. Just go to www.mxici and then click on Seguros para U.S.A. for a very easy and quick application to purchase your low cost, and high value policy.

We hope this helps you in your Mexico travels. If you have any questions concerning this or anything else regarding travel into Mexico. Please let us know, we will do our best to assist you.

Infracciones y multas de transito en los E.U.

2 Replies

Al ingresar a los Estados Unidos , es importante recordar que uno es sujeto a las mismas leyes de tránsito al igual que todos los Americanos. Aun siendo de la República Mexicana, no se le extiende mas lenidad que la que reciben los Americanos cuando viajan a México y violan sus leyes de tránsito. Paisanos y Americanos no enterados, podrían atreverse a pagar “mordida” en Máxico, pero bajo ninguna circunstancia debe intentar hacerlo en los Estados Unidos. Haciéndolo lo meterá en problemas mas sérias.

En Texas por ejemplo, las leyes de tránsito, si las rompe y las multas, son diferente al resto de los Estados Unidos. Bién, para su conocimiento, aquí están unas pocas de las leyes y sus multas que se imponen si lo agarran violando alguna de estas leyes. DWI quiere decir “manejando ébrio y es un cargo MUY sério.

$100 USD$: Manejando sin licencia
$250 USD$: Manejando sin seguro
$1,000 USD$: Manejando ébrio (DWI)
$1,500 USD$: 2 or mas ofensas de DWI (manejando ébrio)
$2,000 USD$: Convicción de DWI con un nivel de alcohol de .16 o mas alto

Si es acusado de DWI, el cargo se queda grabado en sus antecedentes penales por 7 años. Podría prevenirlo de adquirir o renovar su ciudadanía Americana.

Obviamente lo que debe hacer es obedecer las leyes de tránsito. Usted es un huesped, y hací como se espera que un Americano obedesca las leyes de tránsito en México, también usted cuando conduce en los Estados Unidos.

Comprando una póliza turista Americana es rápido y sencillo. Se puede comprar por un día, por semana, un mes o por un año. Esta cobertura es subscrita y administrada por una compañía aseguradora legalmente autorizada.

No tome el riesgo de que lo pare la policía y no traer el seguro necesario; es una multa cara. La compra de una póliza turista Americana no es cara. Visítenos en mxici (Seguros para USA) para emitir su própia póliza rapidamente y facil.

When is 13th Annual Rocky Point Bike Rally?

Leave a reply

I just became aware of a unique, and fun filled annual event called the Rocky Point Bike Rally. It takes place every year, and this is their 13th year.

A customer and friend of ICI brought it to my attention today. He purchased his motorcycle policy online and filled me in on the event.

The rally apparently is extremely popular, notching almost 5,000 riders. It begins November 7th and goes thru the 10th. Sounds like a great 3 day weekend.

They charge a nominal registration fee of $ 10.00 that goes to charity. The event draws from riders throughout the U.S. and Mexico.

Puerto Peñasco, or Rocky Point to gringos, is an extremely popular travel destination, especially if you live in Arizona, New Mexico or certain areas of Texas. This tourist village is usually the closest to theses three States to the ocean. People with RV’s, and especially college students of Arizona and Arizona State frequent this gorgeous spot on Mexico’s north end of the Sea of Cortez.

We have included a link that provides information on where the event begins, and answers a couple of simple questions regarding what is needed to cross into Mexico. The link is: http://www.rockypointrally.com/

We have a fantastic insurance product for your bike, if you intend on joining. OR, if not this rally, maybe in the future you may be considering a ride with a few friends. You might also really, really consider purchasing your International Health & Accident insurance at the same time, as your U.S. or Canadian Health insurance most probably will not cover you in Mexico, and many Mexican Motorcycle insurance policies provide very little if any medical coverage on their policies.

So call a few friends, and join like minded biker enthusiasts for a fun filled weekend!

So you think your covered with your U.S. insurance in Mexico?

Leave a reply

Unfortunately many people believe this myth. Again unfortunately, it is because most of our U.S. insurance companies giving credence to this belief by implying their Mexico Border Endorsement provides coverage in Mexico. It “might” for physical damage (damage to YOUR vehicle) but NOT for the 3rd party liability exposures you encounter in Mexico.

First, a brief explanation. Automobile insurance is broken down to specific parts or types of coverage. 3rd Party Liability is the part of your auto insurance that provides monterary compensation to “others” that you have either injured or caused property damage to. It is not for you, it is your fiscal responsibility to pay a 3rd party when you are at fault in an covered accident. Just a brief note about Mexico and their 3rd Party Liability requirements, click here for the latest information regarding those limits. Special note: Your destination may entail driving through various Mexican States. It is wise to at least purchase the States highest 3rd party liability limits that you travel.

Mexico’s vehicle laws are implemented differently than those in the U.S., and require payment at the time of the accident, OR, you must posses a valid Mexico Tourist Auto policy from a Mexican insurance company. The authorities will negotiate with the Mexican insurance companies Claims Department, or Adjusters.

So your U.S. auto insurance is not applicable when in an accident in Mexico. Restitution is immediately required, and trust me, your U.S. insurance company is not going to send their U.S. Adjuster to Mexico to ajudicate your claim. Therefor, you will be required to pay out of your back pocket the damages or repair costs to the 3rd party on the spot, OR, they may impound your vehicle until restitution is made, OR, they could, and this is extremely rare, incarcerate you until restitution is made.

You may say, but my policy says I am covered, and I am an American! GOOD LUCK with that gem of a statement as your vehicle is impounded while you go back to the U.S. to get $ for this claim. OR, you can speak to your U.S. insurer, who will happily explain to you “NO problem” just bring us a copy of all the police reports and tow or drive your vehicle back to the U.S. and we will gladly pay your claim! There are numerous other scenarios where this can just only get worse, but I am not about to dissuade you from traveling to Mexico, just be wise and purchase your Mexican Tourist Auto policy prior to leaving the U.S. Inexpensive and very simple…

Another thought. I have recently pursued and have made avialable on line, the Mexico Border Endorsments from Nationwide (Texas) and Allstate (Texas). They are vague at best without specific coverage definitions, and also realistically convey that their coverage is not recognized in Mexico. Why they make it part of the policy, I will never know.

To view these documents, click on the following:

Nationwide (Texas) Mexico Border Endorsment

Allstate (Texas) Mexico Border Endorsment

We hope this helps with any questions or concerns you have about your U.S. Auto insurance and the implications that could arise if you depend solely upon that as your proof of insurance in Mexico.

Ya se siente la Copa Mundial de la FIFA Brasil 2014

Leave a reply

Brasil-2014Al recorrer las calles de la ciudad veo cada vez a más niños y jóvenes jugando en la calle o en el parque con un balón de futbol soccer. Se empieza a llenar el ambiente de una vibra futbolera que nos aparta de lo cotidiano y nos sumerge en un mundo de pasión en el deporte.

Y aunque estamos a casi un año de que se lleve a cabo la Copa Mundial de la FIFA Brasil 2014 que será la XX edición de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol, ya se sienten las ganas de disfrutar en familia o con los amigos de esos partidos emocionantes entre cada país calificado.

Undated handout image of the official 2014 World Cup mascot, the Brazilian three-banded armadillo (the Tolypeutes tricinctus)

Esta será la segunda vez que se realiza este evento en Brasil después de la  Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 1950, entre el 24 de junio y el 16 de julio y fue la primera edición del torneo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, resultando la selección Uruguaya campeona en aquel mundial.

El balón oficial de la Copa Mundial de 2014, ha sido bautizado con el nombre de Adidas Brazuca. Con el término “brazuca”, los brasileños definen el orgullo nacional de su forma de ser, que se refleja en la manera cómo viven el fútbol; simboliza la emoción, el orgullo y la buena voluntad de todos.

A los que somos aficionados al futbol la espera para que inicie el próximo mundial tal vez es larga pero cuando menos lo imaginamos ya estaremos a la vuelta de la esquina vislumbrando la inauguración y los partidos se nos hacen tan cortos que se nos pasa muy rápido el mundial para cuando ya estamos pensando en del 2018.

El próximo año cuando de inicio la Copa Mundial de Fútbol, alejémonos de lo cotidiano y tratemos de disfrutar de cada partido aunque no juegue nuestro equipo favorito, mientras comemos, en el taller u oficina (si es posible 🙂 ), con los amigos, ya que el deporte nos ayuda a pasar un momento agradable y sano, alejándonos por un momento de los problemas cotidianos.

Si usted es uno de los afortunados que tendrán la oportunidad de viajar y estar en persona disfrutando de cada partido en vivo, nosotros le ofrecemos una gran gama de servicios de seguros para que disfrute al máximo y viaje con tranquilidad.

Siempre que salgo con mi familia de viaje ya sea por negocio o vacaciones, en lo primero que pienso es en un seguro para el auto y máxime si es un país extranjero el cual no conozco, en donde las leyes y los sistemas de salud son distintos al mío. Procuro comprar también un seguro de salud que proteja a mi familia en caso de que alguno se enferme y no andar preocupado por los gastos médicos que nos pueden hacer pasar un mal rato y que nuestras vacaciones no sean lo que esperábamos.

Ofrecemos planes de salud y gastos médicos internacionales muy económicos así como seguros vehiculares para todo México, Centro y Sudamérica.

Estamos a sus órdenes y les deseamos que si a usted le gusta el futbol soccer tanto como a nosotros, disfrute de los partidos que puedan ver, y que gane el mejor. Y ojalá nos de la sorpresa un país que nunca haya ganado la copa.

New 3rd Party Liability Limits for Mexico

Leave a reply

Recently, we received word that Mexico has instituted new 3rd Party Liability Limits for vehicles. This includes foreign plated vehicles, most of which are vehicles registered in Canada and the U.S.

In Mexico, they have one Department of Insurance that covers all insurance matters for all 33 Mexican States. It is administered by the Federal Government. In the U.S., each State has it’s own Department of Insurance, who then has agreements with the other states when insurance law is generally applied in 3rd party liability cases. Every State has their own minimum 3rd party liability limits, as does Mexico. However, Mexico allows each State to set it’s own minimum liability limits, which is very strange since it is a Federal program.

So now we have 33 states with varying liability requirements. The new minimum limit is over $500,000 USD$ (yes that is right, and it is not pesos) in some states, and a few States with very low limits around $ 4,000 USD$. Click on this link for the latest requirements. PLEASE, do not forget, the distinct possibility of crossing into or through one Mexican State that has a higher liability requirement, as opposed to your destination, which may have a lower liability requirement. Unlike the U.S., your liability limits do not automatically adjust to the higher limits that some States require.

The problem is this, and it is the same for the U.S. You can purchase an automobile policy with the minimum limits, but that does not exclude you from having to personally pay for additional judgements against you. In Mexico, the reason for raising the limits were for crashes or collisions resulting in someones death. Though not common, it does indeed happen. Having been in this particular industry since 1989, we have unfortunately experienced a few. It is the primary reason for purchasing insurance, and that is to protect you from personal financial liability, the insurance company, if purchased correctly assumes the risk. Actually, personal risk was mentioned in the bible, where it was part of the Jewish law. Paraphrased, if you dug an unmarked well and someones livestock fell into it, you were fiscally responsible for settling the cost of the livestock with its owner.

Since each Mexican State has it’s own required limits, it is much safer to purchase a policy with $ 500,000 C.S.L. (stands for *Combined Single Limits) than to purchase one for $50,000. That is why we offer limits of $300,000 C.S.L. and $500,000 on our best insurance packages.Our standard plans do have a lower available limit, but we HIGHLY suggest the plans with the higher limits. You are talking only a few dollars more, and worth every penny…

If you have any questions regarding this or any other insurance matter as it involves Mexico, please feel free to call or write. As always, Mexico can change their laws at any time, and unfortunately, we generally do not find out about them until they are implemented. So call before you go, to find out the latest in available information.

* Combined Single Limit means that both property damage you cause others, AND bodily injury costs are taken out of the same bucket so to speak. Split limits are separated, one amount for Property Damage you cause others, and the other for Bodily Injury you cause someone.

SPRING BREAK Travel Destinations

Leave a reply

Yes, it’s that time again. SPRING BREAK!!! Put down the books, gas up your car and head out to to visit family, or spend time with your new found school buddies. Let’s not forget our teachers and profs, as they to look forward to probably spending some quiet time without having to deal with you needy students…

Here are some travel destinations to consider. For many in the Midwest and Southwest the closest salt water and beautiful beaches are located in Puerto Penasco, or as many refer to it, Rocky Point. A beautiful village located on the Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, in the Northern part of Mexico in the State of Sonora. Getting there is easy. Head to Tuscon and take a left or right dependent upon what part of the country you are coming from on I-10.

It is a Free Zone, so border crossing is easy, and inexpensive. You do not require a vehicle permit, however you will be required to provide the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security or Customs a “Valid Passport” on your return Stateside. Have a valid Drivers License, if driving, and make certain that you do NOT wander outside of the Free Zone. Failure to observe street signs and ending up out side of the Free Zone could cost you mucho dinero or pesos if you will. It’s against Mexico’s Federal Law to operate a foreign plated vehicle without a vehicle permit outside of the Free Zone. The Hotels are awesome, food and drink plentiful. If you are going dancing or clubbing, crowds are packed into most venues.

Another popular gathering spot is in Texas, South Padre islands. Obviously you do not need to posses vehicle permits here, but if you are curious about Mexico, head over to Matamoros. You can walk or drive across. If you drive, just make sure you have Mexico Tourist Auto insurance, which we can help you with that. Mexico to satisfy your curiosity about Mexico, make sure you bring along your Passport again. If driving you do not need a vehicle permit here, as it is located on what is called the “frontera”, however if you intend on going deeper into Mexico, then you would have to purchase a vehicle permit. In ALL circumstances, you MUST cancel or turn in your Mexico Vehicle Permit upon exiting Mexico. Failure to do so could cost you time, $$$, and a lot of frustration.

Another awesome Spring Break destination is Cancun, Mexico. One of my favorite places. Clear water, awesome food, and fantastic weather. A bit pricier, especially for college students, but well worth it if your parents or you can afford it. For older, say more mature travelers, this time of year is generally not great in Cancun. Unless of course you don’t mind the noise, and watching people throwing up. I’d pick any other time to go to Cancun. I’d pick any other time to go to any of these destinations, if you are a seasoned traveler.

You will still need a U.S. passport, though driving to Cancun can be an adventure, most people will want to fly. You will also require a Visa that is provided by your airline.

We can provide you with Mexico Tourist Auto insurance and Int’l Health & Accident if your destination is Mexico or anywhere else outside of the continental U.S. Laws in Mexico differ substantially than the U.S. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to call or contact us via E Mail or this blog.

Stay safe, have fun, and watch out for each other. You want fond memories, not bad ones!
