You may need more insurance.
Anywhere you go in the US, your auto insurance will cover you should you get into an accident, but did you know that if you take a trip to Mexico and plan on driving, you will not be covered under your own US insurance?
That's right, it's not recognized.
You would need to purchase some Mexican Auto Insurance.
If you get into an accident while driving in Mexico, it's technically
a felony, and the authorities will hold you until payment for damages
you are deemed responsible for are paid to the injured party.
They can legally hold you until you pay in full.
If you don't have insurance, you better have cash.
They can and will put you in jail if you can't pay for it.

This is good to know. Not that I'm planning a trip down there any time soon, but I know people who have gone, and are planning more trips, so this information should help them out when planning a trip.
Wouldn't it suck to get rear ended and be blamed for it, then end up in a Mexican prison?
Ack!
