1. Gather the correct vehicle details
- Make, model, year, and trim.
- Postal code where the vehicle is used or kept, as requested by the quote tool.
- Vehicle category, such as a standard Mexican vehicle, a border vehicle, or a regularized vehicle.
- Personal, commercial, or passenger transport use.
- Equipment or modifications you want to ask about.
If you are unsure about the trim, check it against your vehicle details and ask before selecting an option. If your car has border plates or was regularized, see the document guide for border and regularized vehicles.
2. Describe what you want to protect
Think about where you drive, who uses the car, and what you want to ask. Depending on the options available, you can discuss third-party liability, theft, damage to the vehicle, roadside assistance, and occupant coverage with your advisor.
If you already have insurance, have the expiration date and your current coverage details ready. That will help you discuss renewal and compare quotes.
3. Compare more than the price
When reviewing two quotes, make sure they describe the same vehicle, use, and policy period. Then compare the following details.
- Included coverage and exclusions.
- Coverage limits and how the car's value is determined.
- Deductibles and how they are calculated.
- Payment options and the total cost of the option you choose.
- Assistance services and their limits.
Write down any questions and ask how the specific quote addresses them. Review the terms of each package alongside its name.
How do liability, limited, and broad coverage differ?
Liability coverage focuses on harm to other people or their property up to the policy limits. When comparing limited and broad coverage, check whether each quote includes total theft and damage to your own vehicle. Review assistance, occupant coverage, and deductibles too, since the terms depend on the product and quote.
4. Confirm the details before buying
Coverage begins on the date and at the time shown in the policy, subject to its terms. Confirm the details, requirements, and purchase steps with your advisor. Review the policy terms that apply to you (Spanish).
