First of all....where in Mehhhico will you be gracing your presence with?
I would recommend a handler in your case since this appears to be a first trip south.
The advantages are great as they can assist in:
- airport specific customs/immigration procedures
- Paying the bill
- GETTING A FUEL TRUCK BEFORE THE YEAR 2040 (this is a big issue down there). Priority means knowing Humberto the Handler and Benjamin the $100 bill.
- Better parking spot if you going to a place like Cabo
- Legitimate and safe transportation
- Files your flight plan if needed
etc..etc..etc
Cons
- cost money but still worth the cost
- I think thats it!
Enjoy Meeehhhico

Was just there. Not only proof of insurance, but they wanted to see the "receipt" for payment of said insurance. Tried explaining that we don't get the coverage/policy without having paid for it, but they were hard over on seeing a receipt. Handler sorted it out.

The Commandante (aka poppa smurf) is the biggest hard a$$ I have ever come across in 15+ years of flying to Mexico. It is always something every time you have to deal with him.
