What is Mexico Tourist RV Insurance?

Mexico tourist RV insurance provides essential coverage for recreational vehicles (RVs) registered in the U.S. or Canada and used for temporary travel in Mexico. Your domestic U.S. and Canadian RV insurance policies are not recognized as valid liability insurance by Mexican authorities, making specialized coverage a requirement.

What does Mexico Tourist RV Insurance cover?**

Mexico tourist RV insurance safeguards you from financial liability and potential losses related to accidents, theft, and damages while traveling in Mexico. Coverage varies based on the limits, policy exclusions, and endorsements you select.

Below are the primary coverage options included in most RV policies:

Civil Liability: Coverage for damage to others

  • Civil liability
    Coverage for property damage or injuries to others

    Civil Liability coverage is mandatory for RVs traveling in Mexico. It protects against financial responsibilities if your RV causes bodily injury or property damage to third parties.

    Bodily injury liability: Covers medical costs for third parties injured in an accident caused by your RV..

    Property damage liability: Pays for damage caused to third-party vehicles or property.

    Example*: You accidentally reverse your RV into another vehicle in a parking lot, damaging the other vehicle’s bumper. Civil Liability coverage can cover repair costs for the other vehicle.

  • Legal & Bail Bonds
    Typically included with civil liability

    If you’re involved in an accident that results in legal proceedings, this coverage includes legal assistance and bail bond payments, helping you navigate the legal process in Mexico.

Coverage for you RV

  • Property Damage
    This is similar to Collision in your US policy.

    This coverage acts like collision coverage in U.S. policies. It pays for the repair or replacement of your RV after a covered accident.

    Example: You misjudge a turn and clip a concrete barrier, causing $7,000 in damage to your RV. With a $1,000 deductible, your insurance will cover $6,000 of the repair costs.

  • Total Theft
    In the US policy, this would be considered part of Comprehensive coverage

    If your RV is stolen in Mexico, this coverage compensates you for its current market value, minus your deductible.

    Example: Your RV is stolen while parked overnight at a campsite. After filing a police report, your insurer may compensate you for the RV’s value after applying the deductible.

  • Medical Expense
    This is a form of Medical Payments in your US auto policy

    Medical expense coverage pays for medical treatment required due to injuries sustained by you or your passengers during an accident.

    Example*: While driving your RV, you’re hit by another vehicle, resulting in injuries to your family members. Medical expense coverage can cover their medical bills.

  • Towing & Labor
    For moving and labor expenses when the vehicle is inoperable after a covered an accident

    If your RV becomes undrivable after an accident, towing and labor coverage can transport it to the nearest repair shop. Limits on towing distances or coverage amounts may vary.

    Example*: After engine trouble leaves your RV stranded, towing coverage ensures it’s taken to the nearest mechanic for repair.
