Have you ever wondered how to cross the border with a vehicle into Mexico? Here's a video describing exactly where to go and what to do in order to sort out your FMM and TIP at the Tecate border crossing.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this information. We crossed at Tecate this morning, and your video was super helpful. We knew exactly where to go, thank you!
Did the walk thru and on return to the US Customs gave this US citizen born and raised in NY a hard time and detained me. That’s after walking into Mexico and officials not even giving me a second look. A dog and pony show for sure. Got great tacos while in Mexico. Walk thru and make a left at the first light and boom a nice open restaurant and it’s BYOB. Got Tecate beers for us and the restaurant staff right across the street.
This is the crossing that we’re going to use sometime next month. Did the grumpy guy speak any English or was everyone right pretty much Spanish only? Our Spanish is horrible but we’re trying to learn lol
What insurance did you provide to Mexican officials. I heard you have to purchase Mexican insurance before you cross the border? Idk if that's true for all Mexican border crossings.
We had no issues, so our experience says yes. Best plan is to never ride at night - between the potholes, animals, speed bumps, pedestrians, unlit vehicles and drunks the risk isn't worth the reward.
In British Columbia we don't have what you call a title, only registration. They wanted the original. I told them that what I handed them was original and they accepted that.
another thank you from me also , best wishes to you for taking the time to add so much helpful detail .
Too the point. Very educational. Thank you!

Glad it helped! Enjoy your time in Mexico, and say hi if you catch up to us!
Thank you for the Canadian content. Much appreciated!
No problem, eh!
It's easier to fill out and pay for your FMM online. Take the printed-out form AND receipt to the guy in the little office to stamp. Saves some steps.

Your such a good citizen. Nobody ever buys permits etc to be in Mexico.
I guess we hang with a different crowd! We didn't want problems crossing from La Paz to Topolobampo.

Yes, he did speak some English as I remember. As long as you're humble and try your best you should be fine.
Sounds good, we definitely try to stay humble as we can! Thank you for the info and hope you continue to have safe travels!!
Thanks for the info buddy I'm thinking about taking a bus does a bus go through there
Sorry, that I don't know.
A bus does go to the Tecate border rt 894?

We don't recall having to show the insc we bought online when we entered Mexico.
Is Highway 3 to Ensenada from Tecate safe?
We had no issues, so our experience says yes. Best plan is to never ride at night - between the potholes, animals, speed bumps, pedestrians, unlit vehicles and drunks the risk isn't worth the reward.
Do you need the title to your vehicle?
