MX MC Insurance Recommendations

Hi all,
apart from Mr. Ron's tread "http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/Forum29/HTML/000824.html",
where mollydog recommends "Seguros Provinciales" - do you have any experience or recommendations wrt MC insurance you can get within Mexico? Any names of companies where I can get one? (I'm in Cancun at the moment)
Thanks & best regards
Winfried

Try this;

Takes about 5 minutes online and your good to go.
I have used them twice now with no problems, and they are much cheaper than Sanborns.

Try these guys too:

www.bajabound.com

You can get coverage online and I have used them in the past. Not sure about claims though!

msg996 found a good site. Living near the Mexican border, I take the insurance for granted (in that I can purchase it whenever I need it for a day or weekend ride into Mexico) However, if I was to ride many times into Mexico in a year, it would be much more cost effective to purchase a one-year policy at $130(US)/year vs. $25(US)/weekend. This should be taken into consideration for someone riding in US/Mexico for a long period of time, whether you intend to cross the border back and forth many times, or stay in Mexico for the longer period of time.

btw: finally bought the ACE one online from Mexadventure for some 170 USD (since the others were too US specific) and - you won't guess it - right the next day I was involved in an accident. Somebody in Merida didn't like my panniers and smashed one with his car (he didn't expect me to stop at a yellow traffic light). ACE sent an agent within 15 Minutes and up to now everything looks fine... (Lucky me - only the pannier was damaged, neither me nor the bike)
Regards
Winne

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
