Great company, great prices, and even better customer service. We've lived in Baja for 7 years and...d have used them for the past 6years. Fortunately only claim has been road side assistance. Broke down on the way back from San Diego just inside Tijuana. Living in Ensenada we were worried about the cost of a tow that far. Insurance covered it completely all the way home. Driver license policy is great for up to 3 drivers and includes the road side. We've opted for full coverage on our vehicles that stay permanently in Baja just in case they ever got stolen. So far it's not been needed. But that's the thing with Insurance....you hope to never need it.
