Temporary Mexican Car Insurance for a Few Days or a Week

Liability-only Mexican coverage starts at $23.25 USD per day or $197.00 USD per year, and full coverage runs from about $31.62 USD per day or $438.38 USD per year through Chubb. If you only need coverage for a handful of days or weeks, temporary Mexican insurance lets you pay for those exact dates instead of committing to a full annual term. That's the whole point of this page: short trip, short policy, no extra year you won't use.

How many days of Mexican insurance do I need for a short trip?

Most temporary trips run anywhere from a long weekend to a couple of weeks. Southbound coverage is sold by the exact day, so you set the start and end date in the chat and pay only for that window — you're not locked into a full year. If you're heading out for just two or three days, the weekend trip page covers that shorter window, and daily coverage is built for single-day passes.

Is a one-day pass priced the same as a one-week policy?

All reference totals include the policy fee; there is no Mexican tax (IVA) on this product. 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.

Coverage typePer day fromPer year from
Liability only$23.25 USD$197.00 USD
Full coverage$31.62 USD$438.38 USD

What if my trip stretches past the days I already paid for?

Travel plans shift. If you think you'll be in Mexico longer than the dates on your policy, the options for adjusting your coverage are confirmed in the chat for your exact vehicle and new dates — it's not something to guess at in advance. It's easier to round up a little at checkout than to end up uninsured mid-trip.

Do I need the temporary import permit for a short Mexico trip?

It depends on where you're driving. The permit is not required in Baja California, Baja California Sur, or the Sonora free zone (places like Rocky Point, Golfo de Santa Clara, Hermosillo, Kino, Guaymas or San Carlos). If your route goes into mainland Mexico beyond the border zone, that permit is required separately from your insurance. See all Mexico for a broader look at routes, or guides for more detail.

What should I have ready before I cross for a short trip?

Have your driver's license, vehicle registration, and travel dates on hand. Your US or Canadian auto policy is not valid liability coverage once you're in Mexico — the law only recognizes a policy issued by a Mexican insurer, which is what Timi sells, underwritten by Chubb. Quoting and buying takes about two minutes by chat from your phone, and the policy PDF lands in your email before you cross. Comparing options first? Comparison shopping and Chubb Mexican insurance explain what Timi does and doesn't compare.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Mexican insurance for just 3 or 4 days?
Yes, temporary Mexican insurance covers any span from 1 day up to a full year. You pick the exact start and end dates in the chat and pay only for that period, whether that's 3 days, 10 days, or several weeks.
What happens if my trip runs longer than the days I paid for?
If your dates change, the exact options for extending or adjusting your coverage are confirmed in the chat for your specific vehicle and new dates. It's not something to assume happens automatically, so it's worth checking before your original period ends.
Can I get temporary coverage for a rental or borrowed US-plated car?
Vehicle details like the owner, plates, and VIN are entered during the chat, and whether a rental or borrowed car qualifies for that specific trip is confirmed there, for your exact vehicle and dates.
Are policy fees included, and is there Mexican tax?
All reference totals include the policy fee; there is no Mexican tax (IVA) on this product. 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.
