About Baja-Mex

Providing Mexican Insurance Since 1974

Baja-Mex started with a 100 square foot drive-thru office in San Ysidro and only a few employees. In response to the demand for Mexican Insurance at the U.S. border, we began assisting tourists traveling to Mexico. Buying Mexican Insurance has never been easier since the drive-through concept started.

Our Mexican Insurance is now available online and is quick and easy to purchase.

Milestones in Business

In 2005, Baja-Mex Insurance Services, Inc. was awarded Business of the Year from the San Diego Business Improvement District. There was a competition in the nineteen districts in San Diego County for business of the year, and Baja-Mex won for its longevity, staying power, and community service in the San Diego area.

In 1987, Baja-Mex acquired a parcel on the east side of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, and started a pay parking lot for tourists traveling to Mexico. Travelers to Baja can leave their cars securely parked adjacent to the pedestrian border crossing in San Ysidro.

In 1982, we started our first currency exchange to serve tourists traveling to Mexico.

Baja-Mex Present-Day

We have assisted millions of customers since our start at the San Ysidro border crossing. Baja-Mex Insurance Services Inc. currently has 16 locations with 150 employees in the South Bay. Baja-Mex is currently one of the largest employers in the San Ysidro area.

We are conveniently located at the San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, and Tecate border crossings to service those tourists who cross the border for pleasure, or for business.

Baja-Mex has plans to construct a large parking facility right at the new Ped-West pedestrian crossing. Construction will begin in 2022 and will add 386 parking spots for tourists looking for parking near the Mexican border.
