THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

a.  We have been a client of Wolf Property Management for five years. They initially handled our vacation rentals and then took over our bill payments. We have always been very satisfied with their work and they frequently went above and beyond the call of duty. Recently, they managed an extensive renovation project at our home which involved coordinating four crews. We were delighted with the outcome of the project- everything finished on right on time. We heartily recommend Wolf who can be reached at info@wolf-pm.com  or see their website at www.wolf-pm.com

b.  Enjoyed dinner at Comprestre Triny's new location last night.  Same great food and same friendly staff.  Look for them at the former location of Otra Vez/Homes & Land of Baja.   Kay Barbour

c.  Car Insurance Discussion:   Information: What amount of Liability Insurance is required in Mexico? The minimum required by the Government for Liability Car Insurance in Mexico is not regulated. The awards for third-party personal injury and property damage, or a fatality, vary from State to State. These awards have been significantly increased and are the point of a lot of discussion. None-the-less, in the case of an accident where the extent of damage is beyond the limit of the insurance you carry, you could be liable for the excess amount. FOR YOUR GLOVE BOX CHECKLIST: 1. Copy of your insurance policy in Spanish. 2. If your car is U.S. registered, then a copy of your U.S. Driver’s License, laminated, and the original in your wallet or purse. You can get a laminated copy at Chapitos. 3. It is a good idea to have the English version of your policy in the glove box, so you can point out the coverage amounts. 4. Make a page with the contact information for reporting an accident and the phone number of your agent. 5. You are going to need a second form of ID, such as your passport, immigration card, or visa. In general, it's best to secure the same amount of Liability Coverage as you have back in the U.S. Coverage in Mexico is generally available up to $500,000. “The Insurance Guy” Email: James B. Santacroce
