Getting the required paper work to drive through Mexico is relatively easy, if you plan ahead.
First - apply for, pay & receive the Banjercito car importation sticker online at their web site - see previous post.
Second - try to cross early in the morning. There is less traffic & fewer people in line ahead of you.
I crossed at International Bridge II - right off Route 35 in Laredo, Texas and was through all the formality, both U.S. & Mexican, in less than 20 minutes. Drive through a few side streets of Nuevo Laredo, following the blue Modulo CIITEV signs.
Third - I am posting a link a a great web site w/ detailed driving instructions on finding the building, exiting & getting on to Route 85 towards Monterrey. The directions are great, except for - and I can't stress this enough - Step 12 .
At the stop light - STEER TO THE RIGHT AS YOU MAKE THE U-TURN !!!!!! The yellow traffic markers should stay to the left of the drivers side of the car. I didn't and ended up scrambling my way back through Nuevo Laredo to find the building. Except for that, the directions are perfect.
Fourth - only follow these directions until Step 35 - continue straight on instead of taking the exit.
I hope these driving directions to the vehicle import building will allay any fears about driving through Nuevo Laredo.
