Do you accept driver's licenses and driving experience from Mexico or other countries?

Cover Whale only accepts valid US licenses. However, we might consider driving experience from another country in combination with a valid US license and an acceptable motor vehicle record (MVR).

Mexican Drivers Licenses:

We don't accept Mexican driver's licenses due to the following reasons:

• We're unable to run MVRs
• Licenses from Mexico usually don't have the class required to drive the vehicle types covered in our policies

International Drivers Licenses:

International driver's licenses are currently not eligible for coverage.

Fleet Accounts:

For fleet accounts, Mexican driver's licenses may be considered when drivers have companies both in Mexico and the US, provided they have proof of no cross-border operations.

All requests will be thoroughly vetted by our underwriting team, which may include meeting with the owner to clarify driver qualifications and hiring practices.
