Import Your UK Car to Spanish Plates in Madrid

Professional, low-cost vehicle import service covering Madrid, Alcalá de Henares, Getafe, Leganés, and Móstoles.

Why Import Your Car in Madrid?

Spain's capital and largest city has a significant international population. We handle vehicle imports for expats throughout the Madrid region.

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 Madrid get their vehicles legally registered on Spanish plates — quickly, affordably, and without the paperwork headaches.
