[mekindle]

Do you need to get a special car pass and special insurance coverage while travelling in Mexico? If so who do you contact and how? Thanks.

Google is your friend! These are helpful sites and among them you should be able to find the information you need. I put "Sanborns insurance" site in because it's the one I've used - but it is NOT an endorsement or ad. CHeck around - there are plenty of online sites where you can pay and download your policy.

I got my permit by mail as suggested by mexicomike.

Good luck and good travels.

Sanborns is very expensive. Shop around, you'll save a lot.
