kimanjome Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Debate here in our household. Can a friend visiting me on a Tourist Visa drive my Mexican plated car? I know in the US my British friends could drive my US car. We were told some years ago by a Real Estate agent that if our car is plated Mexico only we registered, insured members--myself and my spouse--can drive the vehicle. No friends, no Mexicans, no visitors from other countries on Tourist visas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I believe they can BUT I would have whoever is the registered owner of the vehicle give them a permission slip to carry with them. Check with your insurance company if there are any restrictions regarding coverage. Tourists can rent mx plated vehicles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 The real issue is foreign plated cars that only the owner can drive or be in the car when someone else drives. Anyone can drive a Mex plated car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No friends, no Mexicans, no visitors from other countries on Tourist visas. As long as your friend is an adult, and has a valid drivers license, is not drunk, they can drive any Mexican plated car. No letters needed ... Like for any other driver, make sure they know where to find the proof of registration & proof of insurance. The only restrictions are on who can drive a foreign-plated car.

mudgirl Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If a tourist couldn't drive a Mexican-plated car, the car rental companies would go out of business. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sem123 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Make sure that they know the rules in Jaliso (posted on this web site) before they take to the roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
