Does anyone know about bringing a leased vehicle from the US to Mexico?

Does anyone know about bringing a leased vehicle from the US to Mexico?
I want to bring my leased car from the US into Mexico. I know I have to get a notarized letter from the leasing company but how easily is this letter obtained? Do leasing companies readily give out this letter? I'm a student in Mexico, so I have an FM3 visa and will be living here for 3 years. Thanks! Charlie, how long does it take to get a car permit once all the documentation has been received?

You need to talk to the poeple that own the vehicle. they will probably not allow you to go to Mexico with it. Corporations have been allowed to take leased vehicles in as part of N.A.F.T.A. agreements but they are on buziness visas. As an average Joe the law is You must be the registered owner. You can try it but I , personally would go to your nearest Mexican consulate. You will need notarized permission from the vehicle owner and Mexican insurance. How do you plan on returning with expired plates?

The only correct answer you will get is the one you get when you CALL the leasing company and ask. To get a Mexican car permit you must have either the title or a letter of permission from the company holding the lein on the car. The Mexican consulate will not care about anything but seeing that letter when you go in to get a car permit. I have not brought a leased car to Mexico, but did bring a financed car. You must have made at least 6 payments and have your future payments set up with automatic payments through the bank. Each company has its own policies. If your company agrees to give you permission and provides that letter, then you can get a permit. If they do not give permission, you cannot get a permit. You just need to call them tomorrow and ask.
