If you will be visiting other country and planning to drive your Albuquerque, New Mexico car insurance is typically will not be in effect. Usually it is in effect in a few miles of the southern U.S. border and parts of Canada.
If you will be renting a vehicle outside the US, you should buy vehicle insurance from the foreign rental vehicle company at levels the same to your vehicle insurance coverage in Albuquerque, New Mexico or at levels required in that country. Be sure that the vehicle insurance provided by the rental automobile company complies with car insurance regulations in all the countries where you plan to operate the vehicle.
If you are not renting a vehicle, but rather borrowing a vehicle from a friend, I suggest that you contact the insurance company that covers the borrowed vehicle.
