Adventure Mexican Insurance Services

What Adventure Mexican Insurance Services does

Adventure Mexican Insurance Services is a California-based specialty insurance broker founded in 2001 that sells Mexican auto, motorcycle, RV, boat, and home insurance to US and Canadian travelers driving into Mexico. The company operates the MexAdventure.com online platform, which generates instant quotes from four Mexican insurance carriers — ACE Limited (Chubb), HDI Seguros, Mapfre, and Aseguradora Nacional de los Angeles (ANA) — enabling customers to compare rates and purchase policies directly. Policy terms range from short-term daily (1-35 days) through 50-day, 6-month, and annual multi-entry options, with both liability-only and full-coverage tiers; digital policy copies are accepted by Mexican authorities and claims adjusters.

The underlying technology is a web-based quoting and purchasing platform with SSL-encrypted payment processing, multi-vehicle account management, and mobile-device-friendly digital policy delivery. Beyond direct-to-consumer online sales, the company distributes through a network of over 3,000 licensed US insurance agents operating through a partner portal (fastmex.com), where the company acts as a Managing General Agent (MGA). Phone-based sales and 24/7 support are available, including Spanish-language service. The company also maintains a content-marketing presence via a Baja travel blog targeting travelers planning Mexico road trips.

The business model generates revenue through insurance premiums collected on a per-policy basis, with short-term daily policy fees ranging from $15-$35 and multi-month policies typically priced in the low hundreds of dollars (for example, ~$450 for six months of full coverage on a $50,000 RV). Adventure Mexican Insurance Services is structured as a privately held California corporation, holds California Surplus Lines Broker License #0D44414 plus agency licenses in Arizona, Texas, and Nevada, and operates with a small (1-10 employee) team. The company has raised no disclosed external funding and functions as a bootstrapped, founder-operated specialty broker.

Core offering

Adventure Mexican Insurance Services is a California-based specialty insurance broker that sells Mexican auto insurance to US and Canadian vehicle owners driving into Mexico. Through its MexAdventure.com platform, it aggregates instant quotes from four Mexican underwriters (ACE Limited/Chubb, HDI Seguros, Mapfre, and ANA) and issues policies covering autos, motorcycles, RVs, boats, ATVs, trailers, and specialty vehicles on daily, multi-entry, six-month, and annual terms.

Product overview

Adventure Mexican Insurance Services operates MexAdventure.com as a multi-carrier online insurance brokerage platform. The core offering is the online Mexican auto insurance platform, which generates instant quotes from four partner Mexican insurance underwriters (ACE Limited/Chubb, HDI Seguros, Mapfre, and ANA) and enables customers to purchase, print, or save digital policies in minutes. The platform covers a broad range of vehicle types — autos, SUVs, pickups, vans, RVs, motorcycles, ATVs, boats, and specialty vehicles (shuttle vans, box trucks, trailers) — across multiple policy terms (daily, 6-month, and annual). Medical evacuation and travel assistance are automatically included. The company also offers dedicated programs for church and charity groups, and a US RV insurance product that extends into Mexico to reduce Mexican policy costs.
