car insurance

4 years ago
hello all. i am new to the forum so i apologize if this topic has been beaten to death. i did try to search but had no luck.
we are trying to plan on spending winters in the playa del carmen area. part of that move is purchasing or possibly renting a home. the location of that home depends on whether we can get, or even want to have a car.
as i understand it, as a tourist, staying for 3 or 4 months, i am not allowed to purchase and register a car.
bringing our own is not an option we would consider.
so we started looking into renting a car. i am aware that liability insurance will need to be purchased from a mexican company. i am still waiting for confirmation from my credit card company as to whether my collision coverage will still be valid for stays of this length.
can anyone here shed some light on how to obtain mexican car insurance for a rental vehicle and how much this may cost ?
obviously we would have the option to purchase insurance through the rental company but as we all know, that would be extremely expensive, and would make it un-affordable for us.
thanks for any help / advise you could offer.
rick
