Hi Guys,

We will be heading down to P.V. in a few weeks and I need to know what type of issues I will have bringing my Escalade which is registered in my companies name...

Thanks,

When you hand them your passport the computer shows all of your border crossings and they can even pull up a photo of your license plate. Your vehicle is unimportant unless it is stolen!

We had soemone with us last year who was refused a permit. It was his own company. i went back into my rig where i have a printer, downloaded a nice looking letterhead and used other customers to witness it. It worked

make sure you get a temporary import permit. There are special procedures for taking a vehicle that far into Mx. Maybe you know this already, but figured I'd toss it out there.

A notarized letter of permission from the company ..... then it may depend on who is on duty

A target for trouble?? That is considered an upper middle class truck and is no big deal.
And it does not depend who is on duty, the law allows it with a letter of permission and once again, not a big deal.

I think even going through the USA border you will have questions, I guess you must bring autorisation and they will probably probe you to know what your intentions are, like are you going to do business. If the vehicle has a bank lien, I am pretty sure you must have a letter from the bank also.

I know people using their own business pickup to go to Florida from Canada and they remove all business stickers to have less problem.

There are some campings in USA that says "No commercial signs on vehicles" on the campsite. Also in some community, I know someone who know someone :),that rented a condo in Florida and on the first day he was told to remove his company SUV from the condo area.

I have brought in Company vehicles for many years. I simply carried a letter that had no expiry date granting me permission to use the vehicle in Mexico. I did have it notarized. I agree that an Escalade is like having a sign on it that says: Please steal this vehicle. I hope it is not Black!
