- I seem to remember from my border-hopping days that there were exactly two
- companies in San Diego that specialized in renting cars for use in Mexico.
-
- Among other things, Mexico had (and probably still has) a law requiring all
- cars to have insurance with a Mexican company. Cars with US plates and no
- windshield sticker from a Mexican insurer used to be stopped routinely in
- Tijuana and Encinada. Hertz et al don't really want to mess with this sort
- of thing.
-
- Anyone in the SD area know the names of the companies that rent for Mexican
- use?
