Benefits Of Driving In A Caravan Through Mexico

The recent statement by the Mexican government urging travelers to travel in groups

during this holiday season in Mexico may have been viewed by some as something new to Mexico. However, caravanning has been a popular way of touring Mexico for decades. Caravan companies, like Caravan.com, have been operating caravan tours since 1952, have been leading groups of happy travelers from coast to coast for the better half of a century. While caravans have traditionally been more common for RV travelers, the benefits of caravan tours also extend to those in standard vehicles.

Meet New People: Many people simply enjoy the comradeship of a 'road trip' with a group of people. Having others to share the experience with can add to the enjoyment of a trip across Mexico. However, this depends on the group. If you choose an organized tour, be sure and research the caravan company who is offering the tour to see what experiences other travelers have had. If you meet on a forum, spend a little time getting to know the other traveler to ensure a good experience on the road. Part of the fun, though, is meeting new people who share a similar passion. Caravans are a great way to connect with a community of like-minded people.

The Tour Mechanic: Organized caravan tours always travel with a mechanic. This can come in handy in the case of flat tires or engine trouble. However, you don't have to go without a safety net if you decide to caravan without a tour company. You and your fellow caravan can get Mexico travel assistance or insurance. Special rates are available to groups who caravan.

Discounts: When you travel in a group, you have added buying power. When you stop for campsites or hotels, you will often find you qualify for special group rates, saving you cash on the road. Discounts are also available on Mexican car insurance for groups - for RV and/or auto insurance. Depending on how many people are in your group, your savings could be small to large. Traveling in groups can help to lower your overall road trip costs.

Safety: Its true that there is safety in numbers. If a car breaks down, there are others around to help. Thieves are less willing to mess with people in large groups, which is why the Mexican government has been urging people to travel in this way.

Travel message boards can be a great way to connect with other travelers. Message boards are available for those who caravan to Mexico to connect. If you are traveling to Mexico, consider the benefits of caravanning. It will give you the added benefit of safety, but you could also find it to be a really great way to travel across Mexico.
