Driving legally in Mexico: licenses, plates, insurance:
Driving in Baja California Sur is legal and safe for tourists, provided you carry valid U.S. registration, a driver's license, FMM tourist permit, and mandatory Mexican liability insurance.
While the Baja Peninsula is a "free zone" allowing foreign-plated vehicles without a Temporary Import Permit (TIP), permanent residents face restrictions, and driving at night is discouraged.
