A Canadian snowbird driving from Calgary to Mazatlán should buy a 6-month or annual Chubb Tourist Auto policy with full coverage and the "all of Mexico" territory: 6 months $179.30 USD liability only or $396.55 USD full coverage; 12 months $197.00 or $438.38 USD (2026-09-17, 2022 sedan valued at $20,000, tax and fee included). Canadian plates are accepted the same as US plates. Mazatlán is on the mainland, so the car also needs a temporary import permit (TIP) from Banjercito, and each traveler an FMM for up to 180 days.
Reference: 2026-09-23. See the vehicle and coverage in the table below.

A Canadian snowbird driving from Calgary to Mazatlán should buy a 6-month or annual Chubb Tourist Auto policy with full coverage and the "all of Mexico" territory: 6 months $179.30 USD liability only or $396.55 USD full coverage; 12 months $197.00 or $438.38 USD (2026-09-17, 2022 sedan valued at $20,000, tax and fee included). Canadian plates are accepted the same as US plates. Mazatlán is on the mainland, so the car also needs a temporary import permit (TIP) from Banjercito, and each traveler an FMM for up to 180 days.
Chubb Tourist Auto reference totals as of 2026-09-17, 2022 sedan valued at $20,000 USD, all of Mexico, tax and policy fee included. Liability only: $100,000 USD liability + $2,000 medical per person. Your price depends on the vehicle value, dates and territory; the chat shows it before asking for any personal data. Six months of full coverage costs $2.56 a day; a year $1.39 a day. If you also make a spring or fall trip, the annual policy covers every crossing for one payment. Liability only is the legal minimum; full coverage adds damage and total theft of your own vehicle with a fixed $500/$1,000 deductible, or a variable one that is 15 to 18% cheaper.
· Mexican policy for the whole stay (this one), issued by Chubb Seguros México; Canadian plates and license are accepted. · TIP (temporary import permit) for the car, because Mazatlán is outside the Sonora free zone and the Baja peninsula: from Banjercito online 10 to 60 days before, or at the border; about $45 USD plus tax and a refundable deposit of $200 to $400 depending on the model year. Return it when you leave or the deposit is lost. · FMM tourist permit per person, up to 180 days, requested at the border. · Territory "all of Mexico" on the policy; the cheaper "border states" territory would not cover Sinaloa.
Claims are handled 24/7 by Chubb in English (800 801 0117 in Mexico, +1 877 699 6679 from Canada and the US). Repairs can be authorized in Canada or the US under the policy specification, and a total-loss settlement is paid in USD. Report any claim before you leave Mexico. Glass on 6-month and annual policies carries a 20% deductible. See the coverage table, what to do after an accident, 6-month plans, annual plans and Canadian plates in Mexico.

Measured 2026-09-23: a 2022 sedan, $20,000 USD declared value for full coverage, all Mexico. Prices are references, not a quote for every vehicle.
All reference totals include Mexican tax and policy fees. Included fees: $18.00 USD for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days; $20.00 USD for 90 days; $35.00 USD for 6 months, 1 year. Do not add the fee again. Your exact quote depends on the vehicle, coverage, territory and dates.
Liability-only and full coverage solve different needs. Liability concerns covered damage or injury to others; full coverage adds covered damage and theft of the insured vehicle, subject to the policy terms and deductibles. The reference includes $100,000 USD liability and $2,000 USD medical expenses. Your quote and certificate determine the benefits actually purchased.
Have the vehicle registration, VIN, travel dates, declared value and planned territory ready. Check the start and end times on the issued certificate. Save the policy and claims contacts offline before driving; a quote or payment receipt is not the policy. An ATV or UTV is quoted, paid and issued online like any car, with no occupant medical expenses: Chubb does not offer that coverage on those units. An RV or motorhome still needs assistance from an agent.
Review Chubb Tourist Auto general conditions alongside the wording delivered with your quote; benefits depend on the selected coverages. Check US official Mexico travel information or Canadian official Mexico travel information for current entry and travel requirements. Insurance does not replace immigration or vehicle import documents.
