Frequently Asked Questions

Coronavirus

Coronavirus - Can I import my vehicle at the moment? Yes, we are now fully functioning and able to register vehicles right across Spain. Our workshops and test centres have reopened and we have access to all necessary government departments and tax offices. Do bear in mind however that due to new restrictions and working practices the registration process may take longer than normal.

 

Brexit - Can I still import a UK registered vehicle after Brexit?

Absolutely! It’s still completely possible to import a UK registered vehicle onto Spanish plates although there have been some tax changes post Brexit. Given that Spanish cars are extremely expensive when compared to UK vehicles at almost double the price, it’s often still much cheaper to import a UK vehicle rather than purchase a Spanish one.

Do bear in mind that there are also some changes to the testing system for UK registered vehicles, but our quote will give you the exact price along with your various options for import, will cover headlights and will also be up to date with the latest legislation to ensure that there are no nasty surprises further down the road.

 

Do I need UK tax and MOT to drive my car in Spain?

If you are going to use your car on Spanish roads then it will need to be both taxed and MOT'd in it's country of current registration. SORN is exactly the same as untaxed and will usually result in a fine and your vehicle being towed away if stopped by Spanish authorities. As you'd expect, your vehicle will also need to be insured.

 

Can I SORN my vehicle?

No, as outlined above, if you SORN your vehicle in the UK you cannot use it on Spanish roads, just as you wouldn't be able to use it on UK roads. SORN is treated as untaxed, risking a fine and vehicle confiscation if stopped by the police.

 

How long can I drive a UK registered car in Spain?

As a non resident you can drive your foreign registered vehicle for up to 6 months before you need to import it on to Spanish plates. If you're a Spanish resident then it's 30 days. In both cases the vehicle must be both taxed and MOT'd in it's country of registration and of course, insured.

 

Do I need to own a Spanish property?

No, you don't need to be a property owner in Spain to be able to import / re-register a vehicle on to Spanish plates, but you will need proof of your Spanish address, such as rental contract, (escritura) property deeds or padrón. You'll also need to have an NIE certificate.

 

Will I need to change my headlights?

If you have a UK registered RHD vehicle then your standard headlights will generally not pass the import test here in Spain. Even modern "low beam" headlights will not pass the import test and will need to be replaced or realigned. Here at Car Registrations Spain, we are the only company that can realign 100% of headlights, even the latest LED headlights, which is far cheaper than having to purchase expensive replacements.

 

My car has been towed away... Can you help?

If you've had your car taken away by the Spanish police then we should be able to help you. We will be able to supply you with temporary import plates that will allow you to retrieve your vehicle and can also provide full support in liaising with the Spanish authorities. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in this situation please contact us for immediate attention.

 

Can you help with motor insurance quotes?

Yes, we can help you find very competitive insurance pricing for when your vehicle is registered on to Spanish plates and can also arrange temporary insurance whilst your vehicle is still on UK plates if necessary, although this is a more expensive option. If you would like us to get you some quotes, just fill out the details on our insurance form.

 

How long does it take to get my quote?

We'll generally be able to send your quote out within an hour or two during the day, although it may take a little longer at the weekends. Please don't forget to add our email address info@car-registrations-spain.com to your email address book to ensure that your quote doesn't end up in your spam or junk folder. In any case, if you haven't received your quote wihin 24 hours please contact us as it will almost certainly have been sent.

 

Can I start the import process now?

Yes, if you're happy with the quote we sent you then we can start the process straight away. We will prepare the technical paperwork for import, check and collate your ID documentation and book you a test appointment more or less straight away. In some areas we can even offer a same day service if required. Simply reply to the quote we sent you and we'll let you know what we need.

 

Does your quote include EVERYTHING?

Yes, the quote we sent you includes all taxes, fees and charges to register your car on to Spanish plates. Importantly, it includes road tax for the year which is often missed off competitor quotes, so that the headline price is cheaper. For your peace of mind our quote is a guaranteed price and will not change (unless tax rates or the law changes here in Spain). There are absolutely no hidden charges whatsoever, so the only other considerations will be any physical changes to the car such as tyres, standard MOT items or headlights for example.
