Can you trust your Mexican insurer?
Mexico insurance companies are notorious for not paying claims, being unreliable in the event of an accident, and going out of business. Getting and using Mexican insurance could be a sketchy prospect. However, those that are fueling these claims usually purchased from fly-by-night companies that they knew little about.
How can I tell if an Insurance company is good?
A.M. Best is a company who provides "grades" for an insurance company's ability to pay claims, their history and reputation in paying claims, and financial solvency. Most U.S. companies, from whom people purchase, have no worse than an A.M. Best rating of an A-. In Mexico, it's been a different story, as a third party (like A.M. best) rating, was not required.
In 2015, Mexico implemented auto insurance laws, that created accountability for Mexican insurers by requiring all insurance carriers to have their books audited by a third party like A.M. Best or Standard and Poors.
If you are getting a quote from a managing general agency (MGA), like Mexpro, in the U.S., you will want to look for Better Business Bureau accreditation. This certificate ensures the business has a commitment to making a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints and is continually in compliance with these standards.
You may also want to check Trip Advisor reviews and Google reviews for more information on the quality of the insurance company you are considering.
