Insurance for Mexico.

As i have started to plan a return trip to Mexico… it seems Insurance prices have at least doubled since 2017. Havent found any bargain prices anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Interesting . But the question is which type of insurance are you seeking and which sources are you referencing as having doubled.?
Are you looking for simply third party liability for your vehicle in Mexico?
Full cover personal insurance? Emergency medical and evacuation insurance.?

If it doubled then even the low cost vehicle liability insurance sold online would still rate as affordable .
Investigate rates at MexUs Insurance Services( mexusinsurance@hotmail.com)
Last years I was paying $150 for a full year of liability , with some added features but I let it lapse in 2020 until travel resumes. There are other sources which charged less for somewhat less cover.
Hunt around and be prepared to adjust to new realities and new “ bargain” levels .

Thanks for the lead… Yes, it was bike coverage i was looking for. Previous agency was double the price for a bike of half the value… Several other online quotes similarily priced. Your suggestion of MexUs does seem the best. Thanks again.

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.
