Do You Plan To DRIVE? Please Read This !!
IMPORTANT - Get A Helper: Assign one person in your car to be your “Co Pilot” to make sure that everyone in your car gets a name tag and your car gets an I.D. Flag (While YOU get insurance in San Ysidro. - Your U.S. driver’s license is valid in Mexico, your insurance is not.)

We will go over the Mexico map when we meet up in San Ysidro. We provide detailed maps & directions including photos of landmarks. If this is your first time driving, we will have one of our “veterans” ride in your car from here.
