Vehicle Ownership Transfer

Spanish registered vehicles

When buying a vehicle in Spain a contract must be filled out and presented at the tax office, and a fee paid depending on the age and make of the vehicle. This is normally the buyer’s responsibility unless an agreement between the vendor and purchaser is previously arranged.

For just 50€ One Way Services will transfer your vehicle with the minimum of stress for you, including composing the contract, making the tax payment on your behalf and sorting the paperwork in Tráfico.

All that is required is a copy of the seller’s passport and NIE, the car documents and the buyer’s passport and NIE.

One way services will then deal with all aspects of the transfer, ensuring a fast and efficient service.

* All car values are regulated by the ministerio del interior and available to the general public on their website. The 6% tax is applicable to cars under 12 years old. Cars that are 12 years old or over pay a fixed tax of 40€ for cars with under 2.0 l engine, and 80 € for 2.0 l engines or more. Cars with more than a 2.0 l engine and under 12 years old must pay 8% of the vehicles value.

Foreign Registered Vehicles

By law, a vehicle on foreign number plates may only stay for 6 months in Spain before requiring registration in this country. In most cases, an import duty must be paid and Spanish MOT (called ITV) passed. One Way Services will arrange everything from start to finish, including changing the headlights at the best price possible, and legalising your foreign vehicle for just 80€.
