h year millions of Americans, Canadians and Mexican citizens drive across the U.S. border into Mexico for short vacations at nearby beaches [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to spend the winter under the warm Mexico sun or to visit family for the holidays. Driving in Mexico is not difficult and it's a great way to see the countryside.
This article provides many tips to aid your travel across the border, while in Mexico and when coming home.
Before Leaving the />
1. Be sure your car is tuned up, has a fresh oil change and tires are looking good.
2. Necessary Paperwork. Everything you will need to bring across the border is described on the Traveler's Checklist provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol website. You will need a U.S. Passport or Passport card and a valid driver's license.
3. Know customs requirements. Bring receipts or registration paperwork (CBP Form 4457) for new electronics (e.g. camera [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], TV, desktop computer) you are bringing across the border [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so you do not have to pay duties on them when returning to the />
4. Purchase Mexican Car Insurance online. You must have Mexican domiciled car insurance if you plan to drive your car into Mexico. If you have an accident without Mexican liability insurance you should expect to be jailed. Uninsured motorists sit in jail until accident details are settled by police. Another advantage of purchasing online is it allows your information to be immediately available to Mexican authorities.
5. U.S. citizens traveling in Mexico are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy or the nearest U.S. consulate through the State Department's travel registration website. Registration is important as it allows the State Department to assist U.S. citizens in the event of an emergency.
6. DO NOT BRING A GUN across the border. Mexico has extremely strict gun control laws.
7. Get a Mexico Vehicle Importation Permit if you are traveling outside the Mexico Free Trade Zone (defined as the an area between 20 and 30 kilometers from the border with the U.S. The Baja Peninsula and the state of Sonora are also free trade zones). You can do this online at .mx/.
Crossing the Border
What is required to drive through the border into the interior of Mexico?
1. Pass through the border traffic signals. When you first cross the border you will pass through gates with traffic signals. If the signal is green, proceed through. If the signal is red, an alarm will sound, and a customs officer will direct you to a parking spot and inspect your vehicle.
2. Vehicle Importation Permits. If you are planning on driving outside the Mexico Free Trade zone and do not get a Vehicle Importation Permit online as described above, you will need to obtain one at the border. Look for signs that say "Vehicle Import Permits". The permit is good for 180 days. If the vehicle is financed, is a rental car, is leased, and/or a company car, a notarized letter of permission is required from the lien holder or lending institution. Mexican law also requires the posting of a bond at a Banjercito office to guarantee the export of the car from Mexico within a time period determined at the time of the application.
The process for the permit is as follows:
a.) Obtain a Tourist Visa. There is a fee.
b.) Go to the copies counter and make copies of all required documents: vehicle title or registration, drivers license, tourist visa, passport, credit card. If you have had previous import permits, bring copies showing you returned the permits.
c.) Go to the Banjercito cashier and present documents and copies. You will be charged a fee based on your vehicle blue book value. The cashier will issue your certificate and window sticker.
Driving in Mexico
