Insurance in Mexico

Does anyone know if you have to have special auto insurance for Mexico? DBF believes that you have to have insurance issued by mexican company -- I said it's only 3 miles across the border -- and he said 3 or 30, if we have an accident, we won't be covered ... he wanted me to see if anyone knew anything about the matter.

THANKS!

There is an airport in Calexico but it has very limited service. For better flight schedules and fares San Diego has it beat.

We are more interested iff there is a place to leave our car and have Ernestso pick us up in Calexico ... we're driving, not flying and trying to avoid driving into Mexicali if possible. Do you know if there is a place to leave our car for a few days in Calexico?

Yep, I've started parking there. It's the AAA Long Term Parking Lot. I park there and walk across the border but Ernesto will pick you up there. I would suggest getting there about 30 minutes early and taking full advantage of the Duty Free Shop across the street. Fun stuff there.

Thanks WASa ... do you know what the cost is? Not that it's all that important; however, I'd like to know for planning purposes.

We have to work it all out with Ruthi; however, I think we're planning on getting there the evening of the 10th, spending the night in Calexico (or somewhere nearby). What time does the pre-testing start the day before surgery? I know Nina has told me, just can't recall off the top of my head right now). Thanks for the tip on the duty free shopping :-)

And Elizabethsew -- thanks for the heads up on the pharmacy, too!

Last time I was there it was $3.00/day.

The pharmacy is Pey Pharmacia. DO NOT use Almater farmacia, it's verrrry expensive. Pey is where I get everything.

The staff will show you where it is.

Pretesting... around 1PM.

You guys have to take lots of photos!!! We want to see!!!

Yes ma'am! Since my fiance is a professional photographer by trade, I am sure that will not be an issue and will give him something to do as he tends to get bored very easily.
