4. Where do we meet AIM staff if we are driving?
 This meeting arrangements should be discussed with your Project Leader.

5. Can our transportation be a chartered bus?
 You can drive a chartered bus to your location; HOWEVER, during the project week you will need vans or enough vehicles to take each of your ministry teams to their various sites throughout the day. Buses are NOT recommended unless going to Matamoros or Reynosa, Mexico. If you do not desire to drive in Mexico you may sign up for AIM transportation which is an additional cost of $50 - $60 per person per week depending on location.

6. What do we do if our vehicle breaks down on the way to the project? Who do we call? What is the procedure?
 If you break down, PLEASE call the main office and let our staff know so we can get word to your Project Leader.

 You may apply for it on your Group Registration Form. The cost is $50 - $65 per person per week depending on location.

8) If we drive to Mexico and use our own or the church's vehicles, do we have to have some sort of special insurance?
 Mexico insurance is strongly recommended but not required. Sometimes your U.S. insurance can or will cover you within 15 miles of the border, it is worth checking into.
