Driver's License Policy

What is a “driver’s license” policy?

  • The Driver’s License Policy insures a specific driver instead of a specific vehicle. It is available for anyone who has a driver’s license as long as the license is NOT from Mexico.

  • Driver’s License Policies are only written for a one year term.

What coverage is included with a Driver’s License policy?

  • 3rd party liability, with a choice of limits of $50,000, $100,000, $300,000, or $500,000. 3rd party liability pays for damage to property of others or injuries to people as a result of an accident that is your fault. It does not apply to the occupants of the vehicle you are driving.

What is the advantage of a Driver’s License policy?

  • It allows the Named Insured to drive just about any vehicle in Mexico . . . provided the vehicle is not registered and licensed in Mexico. It does not cover certain types of vehicles such large commercial vehicles.

Who would want a Driver’s License policy?
