Vehicles and Travel International
Rented Vehicles

• The University's automobile insurance coverage will not respond to claims for damages or injuries occurring in foreign countries.
• It is the responsibility of the University of San Diego employee renting the vehicle to secure the full line of applicable automobile insurance coverage required to operate a vehicle in all countries where the car will be driven.
• If a vehicle is rented in the United States to conduct business on behalf of USD in a foreign country, the agency renting the vehicle must be notified in advance (by the USD employee who will be operating the vehicle) that the vehicle will be driven in a foreign country.   Appropriate insurance coverage must be purchased at the time of rental.
• All employees driving vehicles in foreign countries are responsible for knowing and complying with the vehicle laws of that country including applicable insurance requirements.

Vehicle Insurance
Mexico

The Mexican Travel Insurance program is exclusively written to cover USD vehicles that are driven in Mexico. Coverage is based on two critical factors:

• Completion and submission of the Mexican Insurance ID prior to the trip, and
• Reporting the accident while still in Mexico.
