2010 Baja 1000

Well, I didn't get to go this year. I tried to watch it live on the official site www.baja1k.com but it kept crashing. There's still some video there so go check it out. I guess I'll have to wait...

Driving your car into Mexico?

If you plan on taking your car into Mexico you will need to get a permit to temporarily import your vehicle into Mexico. There are several ways to accomplish this. You can do it at the border when crossing, you can go to select Mexican consulates, or you can do it online at the Banjercito web site.

Some of the documentation they require (must bring the original and a set of copies):

  • Passport
  • Birth Certificate
  • certificate of vehicle ownership (if financed, notorized approval to temporarily export the vehicle to Mexico)
  • auto insurance for the dates you will be in Mexico
  • current vehicle registration
  • photo ID
  • A credit card (IE Visa,MC) or up to $400 USD cash deposit
  • and of course there is a feeĀ $29 to $59 USD (each method has a different price)

After all this is done you will get a permit with a sticker that you attach to your windshield while in Mexico. Before you leave Mexico you are obligated to present your vehicle to the Banjercito office at the border crossing to get your deposit back.
