Mexican Insurance – Bill’s True Road Trip

William Kitto was not traveling for his first time in Mexico when he got into an accident near San Vincente, Mexico while driving his friend’s pick-up.The drive was difficult due to a driving rain storm, which quickly left him at the mercy of his friend’s Mexican insurance policy.

Bill and his friend were traveling at 30 MPH hour when they rounded a corner to find a Mexican military truck hurtling towards them partly on their side of the road. Unable to avoid the crash, the two vehicles impacted head-on left, sending personnel scattered down an embankment and Bill and his friend into the cliff wall on the opposite side.

In minutes, the Mexican police show up and one officer speeds an injured Bill away to a secure location unknown to him or his friend who is left dazed sitting by the road. In Mexico, they apply Napoleonic Law, where in general, you are Guilty until proven innocent.

There’s a good reason why savvy travelers buy Mexican Car Insurance Policy before leaving home.

Bill finds himself in a Mexican detention cell without any contact and without any knowledge of his fate, mostly because at this point he has no way of knowing whether his friend even carried Mexico Auto Insurance . Hours later, the police return to take him back to the accident site where he is able to see his friend and his friend’s Mexican car insurance policy. But this is not the end of the story.

In short, Bill spends 8 days in a Mexican infirmary trying his best to remain injured enough to avoid the inside of a Mexican jail; he’s at the mercy of the local authorities, and ancient technology that makes any chance of getting back to the US seem incredibly remote. There were many times when Bill was unsure if he would ever get out of the mess he was in.

In the long run, Bill does attain his tenuous freedom, but only after paying more than $29,000 of his own money, even though his friend’s cheap insurance policy covered some of the damages.

It can save you hours, weeks, or even months of potential difficulty!
