Holders of a temporary visa are allowed to drive foreign-plated vehicles in Mexico.
Customs’ laws basically state that foreigners may keep their cars in Mexico for the length of time corresponding to their visas.
A permit is obtained through the aduana or customs agents at the border entrance point and is renewable through the local aduana. To be able to verify this, a certified copy of the temporary visa should be carried in the car all times. To drive legally in Mexico, a valid U.S. or Canadian driver’s license is all that is required. New & used U.S., German and Japanese cars are available to purchase in Mexico and the skills of Mexican mechanics, for maintenance and repair at fair prices, is widely known.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
