Does GEICO offer good coverage in Mexico?

I'm currently with GEICO and I know they offer coverage in Mexico. Is it good or should I look at a travel insurance company?

GEICO
offers Mexican car insurance that’s comparable to many other U.S.-based car insurance companies.
A policy from GEICO covers:
  • Physical damage to your vehicle
  • Liability damage for damages to other people’s vehicles, property, and/or injuries
  • Vandalism
  • Partial theft
  • Medical payments for injuries to you
  • Roadside assistance
GEICO also has a dedicated staff to handle any claims or issues you have.
In comparison, several insurance companies dedicate their business to travel insurance and travel auto insurance. Some popular companies offering Mexican auto insurance for travelers are:
  • Mexpro
  • Acceptance Insurance
  • Baja Bound
The coverage these companies offer will vary, but they’ll typically have multiple options or tiers. The basic level offers
liability coverage
that meets Mexico’s minimum required coverage, though it’s recommended to carry at least $300,000 of third-party liability damage coverage while in Mexico. A standard or premium tier will often include comprehensive and collision coverage, along with extra benefits like a fixed deductible.
Even if you like GEICO’s coverage, it doesn’t hurt to look into other companies or travel insurance companies. Shopping around will give you a good idea of the available coverages. You may also find a better rate for the coverage you need. An easy way to explore your options is with the
