Cross-Border Restrictions

Our company permits the crossing of our vehicles into Mexico, subject to the purchase of adequate insurance coverage. This insurance is available for purchase at a rate of $65 per 24-hour period while the vehicle is in Mexico. It is the responsibility of the vehicle renter or driver to obtain this insurance at the time of booking or pickup. At this time, we do not permit our vehicles to be taken across the border into Canada. To ensure that the insurance coverage purchased is effective for any incidents occurring in Mexico, it is imperative that all such incidents are reported while the vehicle is still within the country. Failure to promptly report incidents in Mexico may result in the insurance coverage being deemed void, and the renter or driver may be held personally liable for any damages or losses incurred.
