Why Import Your Car in Alicante / Costa Blanca?

The Alicante province and Costa Blanca are among the most popular destinations for British expats in Spain, with towns like Torrevieja, Benidorm, and Jávea.

If you've moved to Spain, you're legally required to register your vehicle on Spanish plates. Residents must do so within 30 days of establishing residency, while non-residents using their vehicle in Spain for more than 6 months must also re-register. Driving on UK plates beyond these deadlines risks fines of up to €6,000 and having your vehicle impounded.

We've helped thousands of expats in Alicante / Costa Blanca get their vehicles legally registered on Spanish plates — quickly, affordably, and without the paperwork headaches.
