Chubb's Automobile Liability Insurance for Cars with Mexican license plates in the U.S. will provide coverage for Third Party Liability, Medical Expenses to Occupants, automobile assistance and legal defense services in the U.S., where auto insurance is mandatory. Travelers may purchase the insurance for days, weeks, months or up to 365 days with no maximum stay restriction.
"We are excited to announce the collaboration with Chubb to facilitate the purchase of Automobile Liability Insurance in our 20,000 OXXO stores in the North of the country. With actions like this, we reaffirm our commitment to improve the value proposition for our customers and drive financial inclusion in Mexico," said Santiago Rivera, Commercial Director of Services at OXXO.
Driving without insurance in the U.S. can expose travelers to penalties ranging from fines, driver's license suspension and vehicle impoundment or impoundment to even visa cancellation when there is damage to uninsured third parties. With Chubb's technology and data analytics capabilities, buying insurance at OXXO stores is fast and easy.
