I've lost it: temporary u.s. auto insurance

Doyle, I don't think that is correct - you can buy short term policies for US cars operating in Mexico and short term policies for Mexican cars operating in the US. In the US you should be following the regulations for the state your vehicle is titled and plated in.

I use RISDirect which is licensed broker in many states. Usually the shortest policy is 3 months. You can write the owner, Orlando Frasca -The Insurance Guy, directly and explain your situation and get his opinion. ofrasca@risdirect.com

If you have a Mexican-plated car, or if you are not resident in the US or Canada, and are driving a US or Canadian plated car, you can buy insurance on-line from segurogringo.com. The insurer is a Texas insurance company, licensed with the State of Texas. You can buy for the number of days you need, from 1 to 365. We have bought insurance many times, and the policy satisfied the state police that we were insured. We've never had a claim, so I can't speak to that area of their service, but I did check the Texas State Government Insurance Department website and the insurance company has an acceptable rating.
