Here are some things you need to bring with you when traveling to Mexico by RV or motorhome:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Passport and ID<\/li>\n<li>Tourist Permit<\/li>\n<li>RV Title\/Registration<\/li>\n<li>Valid Credit Card with the name of the RV driver<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re just traveling to Baja Mexico, you won\u2019t need a vehicle importation permit for your RV. You will need one if you drive further into Mexico, however. No matter where you go within Mexico, you\u2019ll need Mexican RV insurance.<\/p>\n<h2>Does My RV Insurance Carry into Baja Mexico?<\/h2>\n<p>Despite its proximity to the U.S. border, Baja Mexico is still technically Mexico and thus doesn\u2019t accept American insurance. This includes RV Insurance. If you want to drive your motorhome across the border, you\u2019ll need Mexican RV insurance even if only for a day.<\/p>\n<h2>Can You Get Mexican Car Insurance for an RV?<\/h2>\n<p>There is\u00a0available for visitors. These policies typically cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Liability.<\/strong>\u00a0Third party liability is required in Mexico with a limit of $500,000 to provide compensation for injury or property damage you may cause other people.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medical Expenses.<\/strong>\u00a0Medical expenses help cover the cost of medical expenses caused by an accident.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical Damage.<\/strong>\u00a0Physical damage coverage combines collision and comprehensive coverage to protect against damages due to collisions and environmental damage such as fire or windstorms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Theft.<\/strong>\u00a0You can purchase either partial or full theft and vandalism coverage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Excess Liability.<\/strong>\u00a0Excess liability is useful in the unfortunate case that a crash with another car results in the other driver\u2019s or passenger\u2019s death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your motorhome has a separate vehicle and trailer, both must carry equal amount of insurance for the duration of your stay in Mexico.<\/p>\n<h2>RV Camps on the Way to Baja Mexico<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some of the RV camps you\u2019ll find on the way south to Baja.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rancho Oso RV &amp; Camping Resort<\/strong>\u00a0in Santa Barbara, CA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wilderness Lakes RV Resort<\/strong>\u00a0in Menifee, CA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oakzanita Springs RV Campground<\/strong>\u00a0in Chula Vista, CA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Baja, there are plenty of RV Camps to choose from along the coastline, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>La Palapa RV Camp<\/strong>\u00a0in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico<\/li>\n<li><strong>Las Ca\u00f1adas Campamento<\/strong>\u00a0in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico<\/li>\n<li><strong>Glamping Ruta de Arte y Vino<\/strong>\u00a0in Guadaloupe, Baja California, Mexico<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure to plan accordingly and carry the appropriate documentation to enjoy your visit.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\r\n\n\n            <div class=\"o-component c-quote-options\">\r\n                                    <p class=\"c-quote-options__title\">Find Low-Cost Insurance Coverage<\/p>\r\n                                                    <div class=\"c-quote-options__content s-cms-content\">\r\n                        <p>At Sanborn&#8217;s Insurance, our agents are here to help you find customized and affordable car insurance you need to stay safe on the road.
