Howdy!

I've  a couple of guest workers from Mexico have been working with us 
this summer.

They want to buy a small truck and take all their yard sale treasures 
back home with them in a couple of weeks.

We're finding auto insurance essentiallyl unaffordable for them.

By law, they can only be in the US for 48 hours after the pick up 
their return permit. That means they need 48 hours of autoinsurance 
to pick up the return pass.

Best we can find here in WV is 6mos for $700

One would think that there is some version of rental car insurance 
that is available for 48 hrs at a stretch.

If there is, we can't find it.

I've been told to buy the 6mos insurance and then cancel it in 48 hrs 
for a refund tht would make the cost-per-day very reasonable.. 
Nationwide w.b. the carrier. Does anyone know if this is a practical 
scheme?

You can email me at aballiett at frontiernet.net

Thanks!!
