I used this insurance last time and, fortunately, did not have to use it, thus not testing it.
On-line application was easy. 

A friend suggested theseweb sites.
Lewis and Lewis Insurance
Its policies are endorsed by MAA, the Mexican Auto Assoc.
and affiliated with AAA. I purchased a year's coverage for $408.00 fora car valued in the upper 20's.  I switched from a policy I'd bought at the border,  which cost  much more.

International Friends of Morelia
The purpose of the Morelia Senores Club is to maintain a link among English speaking people living in or visiting Morelia, serve as a positive force within the Morelia community, and to share information about living in Morelia. The group provides a home base for newcomers while offering a chance to do volunteer work by helping out a local orphanage, Casa Hogar.
The group meets every Wednesday at Club Campestre at 5:00.  It's 2 miles east of Fiesta Inn on Camelinas (just before Sears).  Turn right on Campestre Av. And go ½ mile to parking lot.  Cross footbridge and then turn left to the dining area.  Call Larry at 340-1045 if you have questions.
