Mexico mandatory rental car insurance
Does anyone have a resource / website / other option to buy the mandatory Mexico rental car insurance ahead of time for less than the US$ 25 they charge you when you rent the car?
I have insurance for everything else except the mandated insurance they ding you with when you pick up the car and that costs as much as the car rental.
Thanks
Stephen

My understanding is you're stuck either buying it or dropping an insane deposit of near what the car is worth. You can provide the CDW portion which your CC will cover (but it's the rental companies option to charge said deposit if you go this route) but for sure you're in for 3rd party.
Contrast this with Peru where I rented a car for 20 days for less than $200 CAD all in. Mexico is BYOC.
