Legalize US Vehicles in Mexico |
|
Let us help you permanently legalize your US purchased and plated car or truck to drive in Mexico! We make it simple and hassle free for you!
Have you had a foreign vehicle in Mexico for many years but never bothered to legalize it? Or did you bring a car to Mexico a few years ago but now the Customs sticker is expired and you're not sure what to do??
Stop Worrying! WE CAN HELP YOU!! We know how to resolve virtually ALL vehicle related issues in order to get your foreign car or truck legal to drive again in Mexico!
Americans or Canadians who travel extensively throughout Mexico on tourist visas know the process of TEMPORARILY legalizing a foreign car to drive in the country as they cross the border into Mexico. This process allows foreign plated vehicles to legally drive the roads of Mexico sometimes for up to 6 months. For travellers and short term visitors who travel across the border frequently this process is relatively simple and works very well.
However, Americans and Canadians who elect to live part time in Mexico and want to bring their US vehicle with them have other options to consider. Some elect to simply bring their vehicles in and get the short term sticker from Customs at the border knowing they will be returning to the US and taking the auto out of Mexico before the Customs sticker expires. But for those who want to stay longer in Mexico than the temporary or short term Customs vehicle sticker allows or for those who want to bring an auto into Mexico and leave it to be used long term, a regular trip to the nearest Customs office is required in order to keep the vehicle legal over the long term.
In past times, simply finding a Mexican Customs office nearby could be near impossible and then for years the laws concerning foreigners and their vehicles was rather discombobulated so many foreign residents simply let their Customs permit stickers expire and decided to "take their chances" driving the car. Do yourself a favor and don't let this happen to you! Expired temporary importation stickers are where time consuming, costly problems begin with autos in Mexico.
What happens if you are driving your car with an expired Customs sticker and get caught? Without question your vehicle will be seized right then and there and a lengthy and costly recovery process will follow. And with new fines and penalties being imposed now, often owners elect to simply forfeit their cars which then begins yet ANOTHER costly, lengthy administrative process entirely before one can import a subsequent car at all.
While the laws, regulations and requirements for foreigners and their cars have become clearer over the years, just the sheer logistics of getting a vehicle to the nearest Customs office can often be a hassle ~ especially in Quintana Roo and other States with few or no Customs offices to handle vehicle matters.
For those wanting to leave a car in Cozumel particularly, this regular trip to the mainland to renew the vehicle sticker can get to be a hassle. Since Customs is required to visually inspect the vehicle, those living and leaving a car in Cozumel have to get their autos over to the mainland via ferry along with all the paperwork, find the nearest Customs office in the appropriate city and keep the Customs sticker renewed.
Are you tired of taking your US car or truck to the mainland to renew the importation sticker to stay legal on the roads of Cozumel, Quintanto Roo and/or Mexico in general?
Why not save the hassle and just legalize that foreign auto for permanent use in Mexico?
We know the process and procedures and can do it for you faster than you can imagine! Plus we have drivers available throughout the U.S. and Mexico to facilitate the logistics of moving vehicles to nearby customs offices for the purpose of legalization. Just complete the basic information below concerning the auto you would like to legalize in Mexico and we can provide you a quote in no time!
Considering the new import fees and costs involved in importation these days, it often makes more sense to simply purchase a car in Mexico now. Back in the day, the resale car market was very limited and it was difficult to locate a decent used car for a reasonable price. But this is not the case at all now ~ used cars are readily available for purchase although it's critical to verify the chain of ownership/purchase before buying. So take an adventure and do some bargain hunting before considering to embark on the importation process! |

Hello, I will visit the island next weekend. I just want to thank you and your staff who make this website, because I've been checking a lot of websites, even those Trip Advisor, and yours has been much more useful to plan this trip. Specially because it has links to official websites from local beaches, tips about prices and ways to get somewhere. Good job! I'll write again to tell you about the experience. C. Quijano (Feb. 2015) ~ Mexico

Just returned from Cozumel where we participated in the FP&M Turtle Salvation program and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guides picked us up at our hotel right on time. They were very nice and one spoke fantastic English. Being able to participate in the extraction of newly hatched baby sea turtles from their nests and then watching them scurry into the ocean was so amazing. There were 4 nests hatching that evening so we were interacting with baby turtles for several hours. Those little turtles are SO adorable and so VERY determined to get to the water. This activity exceeded our expectations. I would recommend it to anyone who loves nature and wants to help this endangered species. It is awesome that cozumelinsider.com donates its resources to handle the bookings for this activity to help raise funds for this great cause. Thanks for an awesome experience! T. Daily ~ Arizona

Just wanted to thank COZUMELINSIDER for getting us booked for our activities while we were in Cozumel. The dolphin swim was fantastic! I'd do it again in a minute. We didn't get to do the SNUBA diving ..... we ended up doing the Helmet dive instead for the same price. We plan on visiting Cozumel again possibly next year and will be contacting you to book some excursions prior to our vacation. We saved a significant amount of money booking the excursions through COZUMELINSIDER instead of the cruise line. Thanks again! S.Forgette and G Wichtowski ~ Not Given

Thank you for your hard work, Nathan & Marcy Havner ~ Cheyenne Wyoming USA

Sherri, I was browsing Cozumel Websites the last few days. I came across yours. I have never found a website so detailed to a destination in my life! You supply all the information a traveler could ever want!
You give us how to get there, what to do while we are there, where to stay, how to travel, what to do if we get sick, where to eat, and it just goes on and on!
Thank you for taking the time that you spent in making this my new favorite site!
I wish every vacation destination had a site like this! BRAVO! Jim Piere ~ Simi Valley CA 93063
