October 2012 will be our 9th La Peñita Express. We will leave Arizona October 27, 2012 and travel to La Peñita.

We meet in  Arizona at an RV Park yet to be chosen. On the evening of the 26th we will have a short course on what you need to know about crossing the border and driving in Mexico. We  leave the morning of the 27th and cross the border.  We will stay either in Santa Ana  for the first night then go on the Guaymas or go to Guaymas the first night and possibly 2nd night. We stay in a lovely old hotel and RV park. We will introduce you to the chain stores in Mexico and highlights of the area.

From Guaymas we travel to Los Mochis where we spend a night . We then travel on to Mazatlan where we chose an RV Park that works for the size of the caravan. The last day is travelling to La Peñita and we arrive at the park the first of November. You are now schooled in driving in Mexico and have met many of the park residents. You will arrive feeling like you belong to the community.

The requirement for the Caravan is to stay the month of November in the park. If it is only for one month the fee is $600 us.

For more information or to be placed on the list email Carole@lapenitarvpark.com

I am sending this because I know there are several insurance companies out there for Mexican Vehicle Insurance and all policies are not equal. Recently we found out that some policies, while they say and even recommend you have your vehicle repaired in the US or Canada they do not pay the higher rate for the repairs. They limit the amount they will pay to $40 or $50 per hour. The average cost is $100 for repairs to motorhomes and trailers. Some companies only insure named people on your policy. You may not have legal representation.  Some policies have very low liability, like only $10000.00. Some cover you and passengers for medical expenses in an accident, some don’t. So..the cheapest policy is not necessarily the best.
We have insured with Lewis and Lewis www.mexicanautoinsurance.com for many years. We buy the yearly policy because it is very reasonable and usually is no more than a 6 month policy. I have asked many people who have had claims with L&L and they have all been happy. I have not found that the case with some other companies. Fortunately we have never had a claim so I can’t speak from my own experience.
While I am saying that we use L&L I mainly want to say that it is very important to READ your policy and ask questions. Shop around. Ask for the answer in writing. Talk with the agent. You may want to purchase a policy that insures your drivers license so you can drive other vehicles in Mexico and have liability insurance.
Some insurance companies in the US and Canada cover you for collision while you are in Mexico. You only have to purchase liability and legal representation.Some companies extend the coverage for about $10. If you are from BC ICBC does not cover you but does give you a refund for the time you are in Mexico. Question your insurer at home. You may be covered for some things in Mexico.
