That is correct. Note that you will each need a credit or debit card in your own name, or you will have to post a cash bond.

Holly, Rolly's advice is correct, but I'll expand on it a bit. The titles to the vehicles can be in both of your names, or in one name only. The credit or debit card you use when temporarily importing the vehicles must be in the same name as is used on the title. In my case, Lee is my nickname, but our van was titled in my legal name. My debit card uses my nickname, and they wouldn't accept that. Luckily, I had my credit card, with my legal name, and could use that one. Bottom line... make sure you have a card in the same name as is listed on the title. :-)
