Check how your car is registered
Tell your advisor what plates you have and which documents show how the car was imported or regularized. That information helps them determine the appropriate category for a quote.
- Car with Mexican border plates
- Tell your advisor what plates you have and which import document applies to the vehicle. Check how the vehicle is listed on its registration card.
- Car regularized under a Mexican government decree
- Tell your advisor which documents you received during regularization and whether you already have the registration card. They can explain which documents apply to the insurance you are asking about.
What to have ready for your first inquiry
- Vehicle make, model, year, and trim.
- Plate type, where you drive, and how you use the vehicle.
- The documents you have, such as a title or invoice, customs entry document (pedimento), proof of regularization, and registration card, as applicable.

Questions for comparing quotes
- Does the quote list the correct vehicle category, trim, and use?
- What liability, assistance, vehicle damage, and total theft options are available for review?
- At what value would the car be insured, what deductibles would apply, and when would coverage begin?
- Which documents are reviewed to determine eligibility?
Availability depends on the vehicle, its documents, and the insurer's terms. See our car insurance quote guide for help comparing limits and deductibles.
What if you plan to drive into the United States?
Border registration describes the vehicle. For a trip to the United States, ask where your policy applies, what limits apply, and which documents show you have coverage for the trip. Check that the relevant terms are in your policy before you leave.
