Vehicle Transportation to Europe with Matthew James Removals in Spain
Transporting Small Vehicles Worldwide
Unlike car transporters, our vehicle transportation service ensures that your vehicle/s are enclosed, securely strapped down and then sectioned off, preventing stone chips, other road damage, or tampering by inquisitive passers-by.
We can also transport your household effects and vehicles together in one of our purpose-built vehicles. We currently transport vehicles throughout the UK, Europe and internationally.

The Good News About Importing A UK Car To Spain
If you are importing a vehicle into Spain and you are intending on taking residency within the country then the taxes for both emissions and import duty can in certain circumstances be waived. You need a professional and experienced service to do this for you. If the taxes are not dealt with properly and the DGT are not informed or given the correct paperwork regards tying in the matriculation of the car and the residency application it will be very problematic.
However, this is extremely good news as it means that the process of importing a UK car to Spain and obtaining Spanish number plates is pretty much the same as it was before Brexit, at least if you are becoming a resident. Importing a UK car to Spain to matriculate onto Spanish number plates is debatable as to whether the cost is worth it compared with buying a Spanish vehicle and selling your UK vehicle in the UK. We advise contacting us to understand the exact costs and for transportation of the vehicle into Spain if you wish.
You DO NOT have to pay the import duty if you are bringing the UK car into Spain as a “personal item” when moving to your new life in and importing a UK car to Spain.
