Three ways we can help

I want a car from Germany, delivered and registered in Spain

This is our main service. You tell us which car you want; we do the rest, and you never have to travel, speak German or deal with a Spanish government office. Five steps, 2 to 3 weeks:

  1. 1

    Tell us what you want

    The model, the version, the budget and what matters to you. You can also pick one of the cars we list from the German market, which already show their price in Spain.

  2. 2

    We find it and check it

    We search the German market, official dealers and manufacturer programmes included, and check the unit: history, real mileage, condition and documents. You see the photos, the report and the final price in writing before deciding.

  3. 3

    We buy it in your name and handle the German paperwork

    Purchase contract, invoice, deregistration in Germany (Abmeldung) and export papers. The car is yours from the moment it is bought.

  4. 4

    Transport to Spain

    The car travels on an insured car transporter and normally arrives in 5 to 7 days from pickup.

  5. 5

    Inspection, registration tax, plates and delivery

    Import inspection (ITV), Certificate of Conformity, registration tax filed in your name, DGT registration and Spanish plates. We deliver the car to your door, ready to drive, within 2 to 3 weeks of confirmation.

What the final price includes: the car, the German paperwork and deregistration, insured transport to Spain, the import inspection (ITV), the Certificate of Conformity or homologation, the DGT registration, the Spanish plates, delivery to your door and our fee. The registration tax is calculated for the exact unit and shown separately in the same written quote, so the figure you accept is the figure you pay.

I have already bought a car in Germany

You found it yourself — on mobile.de, AutoScout24 or at a dealer — and you need someone reliable to bring it to Spain and put Spanish plates on it. You can hire the transport alone, or transport and registration together.

Transport
Between €900 and €1,800 as a guide, depending on pickup point, destination and type of vehicle. Firm quote within 24 hours; that quote is the final price, with no extras afterwards.
Time
Normally 5 to 7 days from pickup, on an insured car transporter, from anywhere in Germany to your door.
Registration
Import inspection (ITV), Certificate of Conformity, registration tax filed in your name, DGT registration and plates. We check the German documents first.

Optional: before the car is moved, we can check its history, mileage and documents, so you know the car is what it seems before paying the seller.

What is the final price of a German car in Spain?

The price on a German listing is the price in Germany. What the car costs delivered and registered in Spain adds the transport, the paperwork, our fee and the Spanish registration tax. We publish the price in Spain, not the German one, and you can see it in three ways before you contact anyone:

  • Paste a mobile.de link and, in about a minute, see that car with its final price in Spain, including the registration tax for your region. Free, no sign-up. The tool is in Spanish; the link field and the result are self-explanatory.
  • Browse cars from the German market that already show their price in Spain with every import cost included. The registration tax depends on each unit’s CO₂ and is calculated separately, in writing, before any payment.
  • Calculate the registration tax for a specific car from its CO₂ figure and fiscal value.
The registration tax, in one paragraph. Spain charges the impuesto de matriculación (IEDMT) when a car is registered for the first time in the country. It depends on the CO₂ figure on the car’s papers and on the fiscal value Hacienda assigns to the model, adjusted for age. The state rates are 0% (up to 120 g/km), 4.75%, 9.75% and 14.75% (200 g/km and above), and some regions charge up to 16%. It is paid in your name; we calculate it for the exact unit, tell you the figure in writing before you buy, file it, and you pay it at delivery with the rest.

How you pay

No deposit and no reservation fee. First you receive the final price in writing, with every cost itemised. If you accept it, the car is bought in your name in Germany and paid for at that moment — it is yours from then on. Transport, paperwork, the registration tax, the plates and our fee are paid when we deliver the car to your door. Payment is by bank transfer.

Frequently asked questions

Do you speak English?

Yes. You can write to us in English on WhatsApp or by email, and the whole process — quote, purchase, transport, registration and delivery — is handled in English.

Do I have to travel to Germany?

No. We locate the car, check it, buy it in your name, deregister it in Germany and bring it to Spain. Before you decide, you receive the photos, the history report and the verified details of that exact car, plus the final price in writing.

How long does it take?

Between 2 and 3 weeks from the moment you confirm the car: transport from Germany usually takes 5 to 7 days, and the import inspection (ITV), the registration tax and the DGT registration take the rest.

How much does the transport cost?

As a guide, between €900 and €1,800, depending on the pickup point in Germany, the destination in Spain and the type of vehicle. For your car we give you a firm quote within 24 hours, and that quote is the final transport price, with no extras afterwards.

What is the Spanish registration tax and who pays it?

It is the impuesto de matriculación (IEDMT). It depends on the CO₂ figure on the car’s papers and on the fiscal value Hacienda assigns to the model, adjusted for age: the state rates are 0%, 4.75%, 9.75% and 14.75%, and some regions charge up to 16%. It is paid in your name, but you do not deal with the paperwork: we calculate it for the exact unit, tell you the figure in writing before you buy, file it, and you pay it at delivery together with the rest.

How do I pay?

No deposit. First you receive the final price in writing, with every import cost included. If you accept it, the car is bought in your name and paid for at purchase, and it is yours from that moment. Transport, paperwork, the registration tax, the plates and our fee are paid when we deliver the car to your door. Payment is by bank transfer.

Is the car registered in my name?

Yes. The car is bought in your name in Germany and registered in your name in Spain, so any manufacturer programme coverage the unit comes with is issued to you, and you receive the car with Spanish plates and all the documentation.

Where do you deliver?

Anywhere in Spain, to your door. We are based in Murcia and deliver throughout Spain: tell us where you live and we include the delivery in the quote.

Tell us which car you want — or which one you have already bought

Write to us in English. You will get a clear answer and, if you want to go ahead, the final price in writing before any payment.
