Discover Baja has Mexican Fishing Licenses in Stock
We have yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily Mexican fishing licenses available (for members and non-members).

Super Saver Annual Insurance Policies
One of the biggest benefits of being a Discover Baja member is having access to our annual “super saver” Mexican auto insurance policies. These polices are good for a full calendar year if you spend less than 120 days out of the year in Mexico and generally save members around $100 when compared to a full 365-day annual policy. If you spend more than 20 days a year in Baja, the “super saver” policies will be cheaper than buying daily policies as they start at $102.74 for travel in Baja California norte and $119.19 for travel along the full peninsula. These policies are only available for Discover Baja members! Learn more or get a quote
Now Offering Full Coverage Insurance on ATVs
Discover Baja can now offer full coverage Mexican auto insurance up to $30,000 on ATVs for riding and storage. A reminder that no Mexican auto insurance policies will cover riding on sand dunes or off-roading. All dirt roads must lead to a destination in order for insurance to be valid.
Gas Available Throughout Baja Peninsula
Despite gas shortage issues in mainland Mexico, gas and diesel fuel are available throughout the Baja peninsula.
