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 road conditions were bad due to an incoming rain storm, which 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. Not able to avoid the crash, the two vehicles hit head-on left, sending military personnel down an embankment and Bill and his friend into the drop-off wall on the opposite side.

Within minutes, the Mexican police arrive and one speeds an injured Bill away to a location unknown to him or his companion who is left standing roadside. There is no ‘innocent till proven guilty’-it’s really the opposite.

There’s a good reason why savvy travelers buy Mexico Car Insurance 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 . A long time later, guards return to bring him back to the accident scene where he is at least able to reunite with his friend and his friend’s Mexican automobile insurance policy. But it’s not over yet.

Bill passes a week exclusively in a Mexican hospital trying his hardest to be injured enough to stave off the inside of a Mexican jailhouse; he’s at the mercy of the local municipality, and befuddled technology that creates what adds up to paying off his way out of a Mexico jail almost impossible. There were many times when Bill was unsure if he would ever get out of the mess he was in.

In the end, Bill does gain his tenuous freedom, but only after spending more than ,000 of his own money, even though his friend’s bare bones insurance policy partially covered the damages.

Make sure you carry quality car Insurance for Mexico in your vehicle, make sure you have enough coverage limit, and put your insurance ID cards inside your WALLET.

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