SPRING BREAK IN MEXICO – “Know Before You Go!”

Driving in Mexico

American citizens planning on driving to Mexico should carry a valid driver’s license at all times.  U.S. driver’s licenses are valid in Mexico.  Mexican law requires that vehicles be driven only by their owners, or that the owner be inside the vehicle.  If not, the car may be seized by Mexican customs and will not be returned under any circumstances.  We strongly recommend that you purchase a full coverage insurance policy that will cover the cost of bail.  Please be aware that if you are involved in an automobile accident, you will be taken into police custody until it is determined who is at fault and whether you have the ability to pay any penalty.

In Cancun, there is often a very strong undertow along the beach from the Hyatt Regency all the way south to Club Med.  Already this season, several U.S. citizens have drowned when overwhelmed by ocean conditions.    In Cozumel, several drownings and near-drownings have been reported on the east coast, particularly in the Playa San Martin-Chen Rio area.
