<DIV></DIV>&gt;I personaly have known two people who have had their
<DIV></DIV>&gt;car/truck stolen while in Rosarito/ Ensenada. Even If
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I had the best insurance in the world I would not rent
<DIV></DIV>&gt;anything that goes across the border to the former
<DIV></DIV>&gt;murder capital of the world-Tijuana, which had an
<DIV></DIV>&gt;average of over 400 murders per year in 1998) Some
<DIV></DIV>&gt;were tourists who refused to divulge their pin numbers
<DIV></DIV>&gt;were found dead in thier cars of apparent alcohol
<DIV></DIV>&gt;overdose(forced you to drink Taquilla+smothered) . I
<DIV></DIV>&gt;met a guy who knew someone who watched his wife get
<DIV></DIV>&gt;gang-raped while a knife being held to his
<DIV></DIV>&gt;throat(always camp at a REAL commercial campsite)
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Over all this place SUCKS, if you can fly south of
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Ensenada, you are MUCH safer., Ive driven there many
<DIV></DIV>&gt;times from San Diego....in my stupid/foolhardy years

<DIV>My wife and </DIV>&gt;I are comming out there to do the rosarito to ensenada </DIV>&gt;bike ride in April. We would like to rent a VW Westy
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to go down to Mexico and camp. The 2 company's listed
<DIV></DIV>&gt;on vanagon.com are Happy Travel campers (eternally
<DIV></DIV>&gt;busy signal), and California Campers (will not allow
<DIV></DIV>&gt;use to go to Mexico with it). Happy Travel's web site
<DIV></DIV>&gt;says it ok to go to Mexico, so I really want to talk
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to them. I have called 411 and the ph# they gave
<DIV></DIV>&gt;me(different from vanagon.com)&nbsp;was a residence.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Anyways if any of you can offer any guidance, please
<DIV></DIV>&gt;help. I know we can always rent an RV, but it wouldn't
<DIV></DIV>&gt;be the same!!!
