Challenges Insurances Mexico

In Mexico, carriers are not legally required to carry cargo insurance, and most do not, as their liability for stolen or damaged shipments is minimal. However, it is strongly recommend to have one to fully protect freight.

Fluctuation costs

Insurance costs in Mexico can vary significantly by region, primarily due to differences in risk levels. In areas with higher crime rates, natural disaster risks, or regions with frequent road accidents, insurance premiums tend to be higher. Insurers assess these regional risks when determining the cost of coverage for both property and camion insurance.

Robbery

Robbery on streets or highways is another risk in certain areas of Mexico, particularly for businesses transporting goods. Insurers often offer specialized coverage, such as robbery or hijacking insurance, to protect against losses incurred from theft during transit, including the costs of stolen goods, damages to vehicles, and potential legal liabilities.

Using Highways

Insurance companies force their customers to use highways instead of free routes, as they are safer and have better infrastructure. However, this results in considerably higher costs due to the expensive tolls.

Regulatory Complexity

Mexico's insurance industry is subject to stringent regulations, and businesses must stay updated on changing laws to ensure compliance. These regulations can vary by region and coverage type, creating a complex legal environment that requires careful navigation.

Cargo thefts reported 3,600 incidents in the year 2024, reflecting a 27% rise compared to 2023. The average loss per theft increased to $202,000 up from $188,000 in 2023. Hence, aving robust insurance coverage is essential.
