All my trips to Baja revolve around one thing and one thing only. Meals…and the drinks that go with them. Through this simple love affair with food, I’ve managed to discover a flip side of Mexico that might have gone by the wayside. Especially since I carry my camera with me every step of the way. Every road trip down the peninsula, my camera bag is always at the ready, my right foot is always just a twitch away from slamming on the breaks and my belly never seems to get enough of the local cuisine.
Every town, chef and restaurant has a different riff on food though. It’s not just beans, rice and tacos. In fact, it’s almost none of that - it’s way more sleek and cultivated. There’s history and soul and love and compassion in the ingredients that make up the bulk of Baja cuisine. Dishes you salivate over. Remote pit stops you pine for when you’re back stateside. Reasons to take a day trip over the border just to get a fix. Rich food memories that hold you over ‘til next time you can make it down south.
These just-off-the-main-road establishments have perfected what it is they offer up and will make it onto your Best Of Baja list after your first round. Here are four hungry man reasons to get in the car and tear across the border pronto - camera in hand and brake foot at the ready.
La Picazon - Loreto – Fresher Than Fresh Seafood That Deserves Your Attention
When I dream of fresh ocean fare, this is the type of place I conjure up in my mind - a high-class beach shack with chill music, stout margaritas, knowledgeable staff and killer food. The seafood is all local – chocolate clams, dog snapper, tiny scallops and parrot fish are whipped up into the most delicious concoctions by Chef Imelda, who according to her husband and front of the house manager, Alejandro, “just knows good quality.” Smoked marlin makes its way across the Sea of Cortez and onto the plates of intrepid diners willing to navigate six miles down a treacherous dirt road north of Loreto to partake in a literal feeding frenzy (which is what La Picazon means). Pearl white scallops swim in a sea of white wine, fresh thyme, slivers of basil and little bits of oregano; this simple bowl of food is a revelation. According to Alejandro, their dog snapper is so sublime because “this is the fish that eats only delicious things, which makes him taste the best.” There is no other seafood in Baja this fresh and homegrown, which makes sense since the dining room is the first floor of the family home and the ocean is as far as you can throw a shrimp shell. Be prepared for a legendary meal. Contact them at (613)135-2201.
La Picazon
Punta Morro Restaurant, Ensenada – A Chilled Martini James Bond Would Kill For
Perched on a dramatic cliff overlooking the treacherous Pacific, the view from the Punta Morro bar is what movie scenes are made of. The seasonal food is always on point (local clam linguini, smoked trout salad, deep fried rib eye chicharron) but what makes this place so special are the martinis -the frosty cold, perfectly shaken martinis. Ginger, honey pepper, guayaba and strawberry are only some of the lip smacking versions they offer, but if you are in true martini mode, the way to go is traditional - freakishly shaken with a spit of dirtiness to it. You get bonus points if pounding rain is crashing against the floor-to-ceiling windows and it’s whale-watching season. Oh, the joy…what a wonderful way to view mother nature in action - on your plate, in your mouth and with your eyes.
Punta Morro Restaurant
Jesse & Sons – La Bufadora – Old Man & The Sea Style Crabs That Brings Tears to Your Eyes
On the way up the hill to La Bufadora (Baja’s famous blowhole), you could easily fly past a dinky little crab stand on the right hand side of the road. But, if you’re lucky, you’ll see a couple of guys out front stirring a giant cauldron of boiled crab and this means hit the brakes. Time to eat. If you’ve missed the crab boil (time of day does indeed matter), don’t sweat it because laid out on the counter like jewels are the most magnificent looking crabs you’ll ever lay eyes on. You can buy pounds of them to take home and boil up or you can just make like a local fisherman and select a big steamed mess of them, grab a cold beer and partake in what’s surely to be one of the best meals your stomach has ever been privy to. Contact them at (646)154-1377.

Café El Triunfo, El Triunfo – The Espresso You Wish The Whole Peninsula Had Perfected
There’s something about racing across the desolate peninsula from the tropical vibe of the Sea of Cortez to mighty hellacious gray of the Pacific that demands a mega coffee stop along the way. And, there is no better place to do so than the old mining village of El Triunfo. You merely have to weave one street off the main road to locate this adorable Italian style café…and you’re immediately transported to another land, thanks to Marcus Spahr of Café Todos Santos fame (he owned and operated it for 16 years before selling and uprooting further inland). Hand pulled espressos, freshly baked breads, brick oven pizzas, sweet sticky buns and refreshing iced teas make this the one and only spot in lower Baja to get your eye-popping caffeine fix all while wondering what a bit of real estate in an blooming old gold mining town runs for these days.
El Triunfo Cafe
Third time working with Baja Bound and they made it easy! Thanks!
Getting a policy was simple, Provided more than provider for price comparison.
Great service, very helpful people there.
They make it very easy to get Mexican insurance.
Signing up for policies is super easy. Never had a claim and hope I don't have to. But the service and process was fast and good.
I've used this company for all my Baja trips. Always super easy and straightforward, and I've never had any issues or problems.
Easy to work with 😉. Always courteous and helpful. Have used them for all trips to Mexico. Easy website to navigate
Thank God I had a safe trip but it did have me at peace knowing I was fully covered. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Best insurance I've had so far
I will never drive south of the border without Baja Bound in my center console. I was in an accident a couple hours south of Ensenada and...the Mexican insurance company sent an adjuster out for the claim. A couple hours later, the adjuster informed me that the claim was denied. I called Baja Bound shortly after on my drive towards the boarder and spoke to Yara. She calmed me down a little and promised to reach out to the insurance company herself and get back to me. I didn’t have any expectations of things going better, but over the course of a couple weeks, Yara had the claim approved and had an adjuster sent to my house to check out the truck for an estimate. A week after the adjuster left, I received a check in the mail that will completely cover all repairs. I can’t imagine that this story would be the same without the efforts of Yara and Baja Bound. Thank you!
Baja Bound Mexican Insurance has been an excellent insurance company to use when you drive into Mexico. We have used them for the past 6...rs. The ease of purchasing and receiving all the documents needed is awesome! On some occasions we have returned earlier than expected and I will call to cancel the policy and will be given a refund for the days that was initially used. I highly recommend this insurance company!!
Easy and fast in less than 10 minutes you could have insurance for Mexico. I have used them for about 8 years already.
I'm listening to the audiobook of God and Mr. Gomez at this very minute. One of my favorite books. Reading this article was sad but...ly.
Easy insurance for peace of mind
Baja Bound makes insurance for my occasional weekend motorcycle trips to Mexico easy and affordable. I can buy my previously-purchased...icy online on my way out the door; print and go.
Easiest way to purchase insurance when traveling to Mexico. I have used their service for the last 7 years and it only gets easier and...ier. Thanks Baja Bound for your great service and price.
Great site to get your insurance from the Baja experts.
Great service, EZ and reasonbably priced. Been using Baja Bound for many years now. Great company and people!
Mexican Insurance made easy, I have used Baja Bound Mexican Insurance for all most 5 years, price and ease is great, luckily I have never...need to use it. Recommend it highly.
Good and clean place.
Excellent service! Michelle made it so easy for me to purchase a 6 month mexican policy for all of Mexico. A couple quick back and forth...mails and I had my estimate and link to purchase, super easy. Very professional, I am very impressed with the overall experience! Very highly recommended!
Very professional, very helpful, great policy, I couldn't be happier with Baja Mexican Insurance, the friendly smiles and ease of it all in...n getting just what I wanted, what I needed, at a very competitive price.
Fast and easy!
Easy, quick and fair prices. Easy to deal with if needed.
Easy easy easy... I have my co pilot (wife) set it all up on the drive south to the border. With in minutes we are set to cross the border... and feel the security of having car insurance.
Easy, fast, and affordable.
Anytime we cross the border, I go to BAJA BOUND and purchased insurance online. It’s easy and the website is thorough in explaining what... you’re buying. I won’t drive in Baja with out it!
Thank goodness never had to use this. Great interactive website to huy.
Amazing customer service. Very attentive. Definitely will do business with BAJA BOUND in the future. Thanks.
2nd time purchasing Bajabound MX insurance while on the road. Super Easy, excellent interactive website via laptop of phone. Quick...es via email. Great prices and excellent referals by long time customers.
We use them every time we travel to Mexico. Luckily we have not needed their services yet but getting insurance through them is quick and...easy.
Super easy to sign up for insurance for both our Truck and Four Wheel Pop-Up camper. We had no issues while driving south of the boarder....... our friend did, and stated Baja Bound was on point to get things settled for his claim.
Where do i start..... you dont know you have good insurance until you have to actually use it. I have had Baja Bound INS for over 5 years...and just recently got into an accident all the way down in Cabo. This was one of the smoothest processes I've ever been through. I would even say smother that having a accident in the states. The adjuster was on site within the hour, delt with the local police for me and made everything go so smooth. I cant say thanks enough to Geoff and his team for helping me out. I'm never leaving you guys!!!!!!!
Great service, quick response time.
SERIOUS.
Great company and they use CHUBB which is a top notch insurance company.We got our policy online 30min before crossing the border and were... covered,we decided to stay an extra day and called them up and got our policy extension it was real easy.There is a reason Baja veterans use them.
I have used Baja Bound for years. Very easy and affordable.
I called Baja Bound and Rigo from customer service was the most helpful person I've ever spoken to! If you get a chance to speak to Rigo...rom the call center customer support you will fully understand every part of your policy! He was very kind and helpful!! 11 out of 10 experience!
Quick easy to navigate website
Michelle is so efficient and thorough.
Easy to obtain, good quality, auto insurance for Mexico.
Flawless trip!
Save the hassle of trying to find a Mexican Insurance shop or waiting in line if you do. Baja Bound Mexican insurance on line is quick,...sy, and so convenient. I’ve used them a number of times to insure my car for a day trip and once for a week. Their rates are excellent.
(Translated by Google) I like the insurance because you can buy it for a day and it assures you in Mexico for the time you go either up to... a month (Original) Me gusta la asuguranza porque la puedes comprar por un dia y te asegura en Mexico por el tiempo que vas ya sea hasta por mes
Have used different times with different vehicles and each time was very simple - each time we have had to use extra days and was made...ple - way easier then when we stopped the first time after crossing boarder and purchasing! Our agent is the greatest - she’s the best!
Easy to get and the price is right
Only place to get insurance 👍
Our go to Baja car insurance, everytime we take a visit down south . Usually it's for a day trip either for a quick getaway with the family...y or for some good tacos!! It's extremely easy login and Renew our car insurance having an account. Takes me about 5 minutes to login, Renew and print out the paperwork. I've been using Baja bound for a few years now and having that security on our car everytime, is just one less thing I have to worry about heading down south. Recommend it!
I wish every company was as easy to deal with as Baja Bound. I ended up staying in Baja longer than expected and it took a 3 minute phone...call from a truck stop for them to extend my policy. Every time I call or email, I''m treated like they actually know me! I can't say enough good things about them!!!!
2nd time I have used this company,, first class service and great price.
I have used Baja Bound for insurance for many years. Their online process is easy and cost efficient. I have never had to use them for an...n accident, but based on their customer service I believe the reporting process would be the same.
Great renewal process, if only south Dakota would do the same for car registration.
I have been using BajaBound Insurance for 15 years - multiple trips per year. Their website is easy, their coverage is great, and the...omer service is outstanding. I have many friends that use BajaBound and unfortunately I have seen claims be filed. Outcomes have always been quick, fair, and what you would expect from the contract. I would HIGHLY recommend using BajaBound anytime you travel to Mexico.
It was simple to purchase coverage and feeling that I was protected.
Very easy, quick, and professional
I have been a customer for years and when I really needed them they stepped up in every way. I had a freak accident to my car and they...nt out of the way to ensure I was taken care of. Five stars is not enough!!!
Had a great experience getting insurance at Baja Bound, before I always stoped at the border to purchase my insurance, not anymore. By the... way you don't need the title, current Registration is all you need.
Great, easy to use service. I haven't had to file a claim (and hope I never have to) but the online portal is very easy to use, and it's...ery easy to understand the coverage available. We travel frequently to Mexico, and will continue to use Baja Bound for our insurance needs.
Easy to use and good peace of mind.
Baja Bound makes buying insurance for going south of the border as easy as it gets. The website is the easiest I have used and the staff...really tries to go the extra mile. They do a lot of trips to Baja themselves so they really know the ins and outs.
They are very good . There website doesn't show you need a title to bring a vehicle across the border.I was stopped and told I had to...eturn to the United States. The border agents informed me that the insurance company should have known this . I still don't see anything that says you need a title I told the insurance company needs to look into this. I called them and they said they would definitely look into and let me know . I still think they are a 5 star rating.I hope to hear from them so everybody will know what the rules really are. 👍 I will give you a up date to this when I hear from them 🌝
Was planning to go to Mexico, but unfortunately my bike broke down. Got very friendly and fast service from Rigo. A full refund within back...k on my card within 2 days. Will definitely use them, if I get a chance to go again.
Good coverage in several categories, with an efficient online purchasing experience and low cost. I felt confident going into Mexico on my... motorcycle, with Baja Bound.
If you are going to Mexico Baja Bound is excellent. Buy online, good price, good quality. Fast and efficient.
I have been very impressed with the help I received from the insurance. I have used them for years and never needed their help. This time...e we needed road side assistance and it was a smooth experience.
Super easy to purchase just the coverage you need when crossing the border in your own car. I especially appreciate the fact that I was...ble to choose from two different options. I was provided with my policy within seconds.
We were trying to get an insurance for our RV in Mexico, we come from Europe and we drive with Belgium license plates. I tried a lot of...ompanies but they didn’t answered my mails. Baja Bound answered my mail immediately and the next day I had an insurance. Very nice and helpfully. I recommend this company for all the Europeans driving around in Mexico
so far so good, however I have read good things about them
Extremely well designed website and a smooth experience! Would recommend to anyone looking for US - Mexico insurance!
Professional and affordable.
Great company. unlike their competitors, Baja Bound answers the phone and you're talking to a real person. Highly reccomend!
Great service and prices!
Wonderful customer service, they made it easy to get my motorcycle insured for a last minute trip into Mexico. Explained the coverage with... full detail and explained the process if any claim needed to be done. Definitely recommend.
Reasonable prices and we thought best chance to actually get results if we needed them.
I purchased insurance through them & CHUBB for our trip to San Felipe. Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to our vehicle having an oil...ak the night we were supposed to head out. With all going on I did not think to call the insurance right away & cancel the policy however I did call right after the policy had been over. I called Baja Bound & spoke to Yara & she advised me to send in my paperwork of the repairs with when we submitted the vehicle to the mechanic & that it was worth a shot. I was amazed by the service I recieved from Yara & Baja Bound. They were quick & easy to work with & were able to reimburse me for the policy I had purchased. I will now ensure I use Baja Bound & CHUBB for future travels. P.S. its recommended to cancel the policy asap if something does happen & your plans were cancelled for what ever reason.
Michelle L. is the best Client Care Specialist! I originally purchased a policy a few months ago when we moved to Mexico. Then, my car...ded up breaking down (while visiting family in the US) So I had to cancel the policy for that one and find another car to drive back down to Mexico. Imagine the hassle!! I was so thankful that Michelle was able to help me via email with all of the necessary steps and info I needed to ensure a smooth transition on changing the vehicles on my policy. Thanks Michelle and Baja Bound!
Baja Bound made it SO EASY to purchase insurance for our one week trip to Tijuana. I would definitely use them again for future trips and...would highly recommend them to anyone traveling in Baja.
Quick, easy and gr8 pricing .
Baja Bound is the easiest way to set up coverage before you head into Baja. Online, 5-mins, you're done! Simple. I insure my truck and...my motorcycles every time I cross the border.
Purchasing process was easy. First time I have bought Mexican insurance online. Before I would stop somewhere in San Diego close to the...rder. I haven't done any claims so I cannot review about the claim process.
Great insurance! Bought one year but was cured in 2 days on my visit to El Sauzal de Rodriguez next to Ensenada. Not an enjoyable place to... visit. You can't even go in the ocean. Baja bound refunded the remaining and I'm highly satisfied!
Very good ans very fast. We hope all will ben good if we need it.
I've had Baja Bound insurance for more that ten years now with thousands of miles logged in Baja. Fortunately, I've only had one fender...nder in that time where I had to call them. That one incident was by far the smoothest process I've been through, even more so than dealing with insurance in the States. I would highly recommend Baja Bound to anyone looking to travel in Baja. Geoff and his people are amongst the finest people you'll ever deal with.
Great coverage options . Price buy and print policy , very quick and easy , highly recommend them when driving in Mexico
I recently purchased insurance for my trip with Baja Bound because of their reputation and reviews. Easy enough to purchase and print...ne, you just need your VIN and Plate #'s. We fortunately didn't need to submit a claim nor were asked for proof of insurance while spending a week in Mexico, but it was reassuring having printed off the policy and having access to it online. I bought online because it was easy a little leery about buying insurance in person at the border. Thanks for offering this service.
Very convenient, great price !!
2nd year with Chubb. No problems
I ALWAYS forget to get insurance on our Mexico trips but Baja Bound makes it so easy- I can do it from my phone in the car on the way and...it’s easy and quick every time! What a relief!
Great company, great prices, and even better customer service. We've lived in Baja for 7 years and have used them for the past 6years....rtunately 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.
Great service, whoever answered my call was very helpful. First time using Baja Bound and I was expressed with the service. We'll see in...he future how it goes.
Very easy to buy Mexican insurance 👌
Good service, good products...
Easy to buy! I didn’t have to use it, so no clue on that front
Easy to renew my policy after two years. Good database!
Easy to renew, offers the best coverage for me to feel comfortable while driving in Mexico.
(Translated by Google) Hello, excellent service, fast. I don't waste time waiting anywhere else... I'll do it. In line when I go on the...mino and that's it... (Original) Hola exelente serbicio rapido ya no pierdo tienpò esperando en Ningun otro lado ...lo ago. En linia cuando voy de Camino y ya ....
Super simple, inexpensive, easy to work with, amicable and great communication
Took just a few minutes on line. Easy even for a 75 year old
very easy to pay and value is cheaper than GNP and ABA and they offer the same protection thank you!!!
Easy and affordable.
Day, night, while they are on vacation. Anytime. They are the best most helpful insurance companies on either side of the border!!! THE...ST hands down
Buying insurance on line is the most efficient way to go.
Good seevice have use baja bound for many years good price....
Excellent online and by direct phone. Spanish and English with proven response to questions. Website is very informative about driving in...Mexico and places to see. My highest recommendation. Prof Rochin
Yara is very helpful and explains everything. Love working with companies like this.
Excellent
Baja Bound could not have made it an easier ... also, I made a mistake and called them having to leave a message ... but, they called back... within 10 minutes and corrected my mistake ... their website is EZ and I thought their prices fair (especially for peace of mind) ... 5 out of 5 for them!
Been going to baja for 45 years. This is best insurance company i have come accross.
I have not had any claims thus far so rating is based on ease of purchase.
Excellent customer service
Best Mexican Insurance Service Office, always ready to assist customers....Mrs. Yara, the best....👍👌🤝🤝
Great policy and easy to get.
Team were on point, provided inside information, prices were great and they had my proposal already in the system when I called back....ful and so damn friendly. Cut my costs to help me out as well. Highly recommended.
If you’re looking for Mexican Insurance that you can trust and feel good about while traveling in Mexico, you’ve found the right place..... Our truck broke down on the way to Mexico we had to turn around come back get a different truck to go back into Mexico and it was easy switching the vehicles. I got a call back right away and they handled switching the vehicles right away.
Great insurance policy experience for our Mexico travels
Baja Bound is and has been my go to Mexico insurance company. The website is extremely easy to use, keeps all your info for a quick...ase and they always have the best price.
Easy to buy Mexico car insurance from and good service
I absolutely love this company and site! We travel frequently between Arizona and Puerto Penaso, thus I have used the company multiple...es. It's so fickin easy...they are the gold-star for HASSLE-FREE!. The site's security is great and I feel totally secure that all my info is safe and makes for a great experience for repeat users. It literally took me about 3 mins get our insurance for tomorrow's trip! The rates are totally reasonable. They will always be my "go-to" for my insurance needs in MX! Thank you.
Baja Bound Mexico Insurance provided great assistance during our drive into Hermosillo Son. last December 2021. We were victims of...oners that staged a crash against us and demanded a large sum of money. The M.O. was faking a call to our Mexican agent and that we needed to pay damages on the spot. The Baja Insurance agent based in the U.S. (Shana) really helped us to get out of that dangerous situation safety. We are greatly grateful to Shana and Baja Bound Mexico Ins. who helped us successfully resolve that scary incident.
No claims but purchase was quick and simple.
Great customer service, quick, friendly staff helpfully answered all questions, very patient with my learning curve on a new product. Would...d use them again and recommend them to anyone!
Baja Bound was recommended to us by a fellow SCORE racer for the Baja 400 in Ensenada. We insured 12 vehicles with multiple drivers and BB...B was able to handle it effortlessly. Shout out to Michelle for her patience and follow up. We will use Baja Bound again when we return to race.
Super-easy and instant. Very happy with initial purchase.
Convenient, great website, prices are reasonable.
Honestly their app is so fantastic and saves all my info I can literally buy the same insurance for my Baja trips in less than 45 seconds...it’s incredible
I had questions while submitting for Insurance on line so I called them. The customer service agent was exceptional on helping me to get...hat I needed. I always use Baja Bound and recommend them to all my friends. Thank you!!
Rigo at the office has been so supportive and awesome, both on e-mail and by telephone. He helped me figure out details of my trip, sort...ut an insurance, policy, find a mechanic... and always so helpful and kind. and when I chickened out and turned around and left Mexico, they even promptly processed a very decent partial refund. A wonderful company to do business with!
Very excellent service, needed insurance for Mexico, price was fair. The custumer service rep was Yara
Easy to use website. We felt so much better having insurance for our family trip to Mexico.
Shauna at Baja Bound was AWESOME!! We had specific questions about how to quote the policy based on our vehicle type and she was super...ponsive and thorough. 10/10 will use again for our Baja trips!
Baja Bound is #1. They make getting Baja Mexico insurance a pleasure.
Went down to TJ June 11 2020 No problems going into TJ but the way back was a ordeal 6 hours in line to get back into the USA but no...es with COVID or anything1/2 the people had masks on half did not. Thankfully I have not had occasion to need to file a claim in my many trips to TJ or Hermosillo. Never had a issue buying or getting a fair price from Baja Bound I also enjoy the newsletters they send from time to time.
fast replies and great price!
Very easy process to purchase online. Very reasonable rates. Lots of good insight and helpful information on their website. My wife...ke live with their office and they were very helpful by giving lots of pointers, which saved us hours on our return at the border.
Quick, easy, well designed website and not just for Baja. Good rates for temporal residente gringos. We’re now living in Jalisco. Printed...d my policy before crossing the border in Laredo and was set to go. Well done Baja Bound!
Best Claim Service. Staff went out of their way to resolve and settle an accident claim for me. I recommend Baja Bound having used them for...r over 10 years. Dr Sheldon Caughey
My wife and I were in Baja the 1st week of October. Insurance through Baja Bound was quick and easy. Thank you
Extremely easy to acquire a policy. Many options available. Reasonable rates.
QUICK and EASY! Get your insurance completed within minutes. Also, you are provided with a complete multi page document in English and...nish.
I just would like to know if you guys are going to update the fastpass direction any soon, during the month of January the lane changed to... the left, therefore the directions on your website are incorrect !! It would be of great help if the information was up to date. Thank you !!
SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD. OLD GUYS LIKE THAT. WILL DEFINITELY USE IN 6 MONTHS IF STILL RUNNING AROUND THE WILDS OF BAJA.
Baja Bound Insurance has gone above and beyond for me in their customer care. I was a pain as a customer, bought the wrong insurance, had...to cancel it and a buy a new policy. Then was concerned and emailing them about the refund of the first policy. They emailed back promptly and assured me and walked me through it. Then a few weeks later I wanted to upgrade my policy to include all of Mexico and not just Baja and sent an email and had an immediate response that they were happy to help and an explanation on how to do it. Honestly I'd give them 10 stars. I'm so grateful and impressed with their service and customer care.
Trip was awesome.
Great insurance for your motor trip to Mexico.
So convenient and easy to navigate thru the online process. I'll never use any other Mexican insurance service!
Super easy I just entered my info on line paid $60 for 5 days of coverage and the policy was emailed to me. I never had to use it...ly but I did like having the piece of mind of having it just in case. Obviously price will differ depending on what you need covered and how much coverage you want but overall a great service.
This company is the best 👌
I had an awesome experience with Baja Bound. Family owned and highly personal, top notch customer service. I have total peace of mind...ile driving in Mexico! Website is super user friendly. Thanks Baja Bound!!
I reapplied for my Baja Bound Mexican car Insurance yesterday and I spoke to Ms. Shauna. This lady processed my application quickly and...ailed me my insurance. I had a very pleasant phone conversation with her. In short Ms. Shauna is an excellent professional lady! I had insurance with Baja Bound (HDI) for almost 4 years. But my Sentri expired and I had to reapply again. Ms. Shauna helps you and provide you with all sort of good information. For example, she told me about Baja’s specific insurance that is cheaper and has better services such as medical expenses. I hope you are lucky and can speak to Shauna. Kind regards Mehdi
Changed some money. Good rate and friendly people.
By far the best service for Mex insurance in Baja. They are personally there for you if you have problems south of the border.
A very easy to use website and good selection and rates. In the 10 years I have travelled in Baja, this is the only site I have used.
Super easy to get insurance and had no issues whatsoever.
Easiest method of getting Mexican auto insurance. Best rate we found and was setup in no time.
Very knowledgeable and helpful.
This is an update to my previous review. Baja Bound, unbidden on my part, reached out to me to assist. They coordinated a contact with...UBB, and the insurance company made me whole by paying for damage sustained to my car. They even reimbursed the $300 payment (or bribe or ...) made to the other party. This is by far the best treatment ever received from an agency or insurance company. I can strongly recommend both Baja Bound and CHUBB. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This review is about the insurance process in Mexico with US agents. I have driven in Baja many times, but never had to use my Mexican auto Insurance. This time I did, and it is not a pretty picture: Having purchased a daily CHUBB insurance policy through BAJA BOUND, I drove across the border for a dental appointment. Almost immediately, I had a non-injury minor-moderate collision with another car. We waived each other down, drove a couple of blocks to a side street. We got out to exchange information and discuss - my spanish is extremely poor while the other driver spoke better English. He blamed me for the collision. I showed him my insurance policy. He said it was invalid. He called in a Policia Municipal officer who spoke little English. I showed my policy again. We would have to go to the policer station to work this out - not good! I called CHUBB in Mexico to report the incident and for help. Meanwhile, the other guy said that US$1,000 would settle his interest. I said: "no, forget it - I have insurance!" I asked the CHUBB agent to intercede and handed my phone to the Policia - they talked for a while and nothing happened - off to the Police Station!! I told the guy I was in pain, needed to go to the dentist, and offered him US$300, He said yes and took the money. The cop said to both of us: " OK, are you both satisfied?" We said yes. He left, I drove off, and went back across the US border. My CHUBB policy was apparently useless. I wrote a long note to BAJA BOUND about what happened, but never heard back from anybody. Apparently a slick website does not guarantee anything.
I've used Baja Bound for a number of years to insure both cars and motorcycles on trips I've made to Baja and to central Mexico. The...hase of policies is very easy to do online, and I appreciate the convenience. Thankfully, until recently, I have never had to make a claim on a policy. On a recent trip through Baja, however, bad luck intervened and I hit a cow standing lengthwise in the middle of the highway as I came around a bend on my motorcycle. After sorting out medical issues I made a claim directly with the insurer for towing the bike back to the US for repairs. The insurer's claims office was responsive, but very slow in deciding how to address the problem. In looking at my policy, I saw that I could call Baja Bound for help in processing the claim. When I did, everything changed. Yara at Baja Bound was immediately on the problem and contacted the claims agent and her supervisor, both of whom she knew, who are located in the state of Guanajuato. What had languished for more than two weeks suddenly was addressed in two days. I can't recommend Baja Bound highly enough. Their direct knowledge and willingness to help out was frankly unexpected, and truly a game-changer.
Incredibly fast and painless. Paid about $180 for a month of coverage. It was easier than going on line.
Used them for the first time - twice in the past 10 days. LOVED how easy it was to customize my own policy right at my desk, print up the...document and head south! So easy! The price was very fair, as well. Luckily, I didn't have to launch a claim (knock on wood), so I can't comment on their actual policy servicing, but getting insurance online for my trip to Baja was awesomely easy.
Great service!
