Vehicle Protection for Shipping from the USA to Spain

Protect your vehicle while shipping from the USA to Spain with Cargo Damage Protection. This optional coverage supports your shipment from departure at our U.S. warehouses through ocean transport and arrival handling at the ports of Barcelona and Valencia.

Many personal auto policies do not extend to international ocean transport. If you decline Cargo Damage Protection, carrier liability is limited to $500 per package under COGSA (the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act), so we recommend confirming your protection options before shipping to Spain.

Cargo Damage Protection is commonly selected for classic cars, high-value cars and EVs shipped to Barcelona or Valencia, especially when timing or vehicle value makes risk reduction a priority.

Documents Needed to Ship Your Car from the USA to Spain

Shipping your car from the USA to Spain needs US export documents and the import paperwork for Spain. Cars arrive in Valencia or Barcelona; the documents below go to US Customs before departure and to your customs agent in Spain on arrival.

Original vehicle title (or lienholder authorization if there’s an active lien)
Bill of Sale / purchase invoice (shows ownership + value)
Photo ID (passport or driver’s license)
Power of Attorney (POA) (so we can file export on your behalf when needed)
Shipper’s details (full name, address, phone, email)
Consignee details in Spain (who will receive the vehicle)
Vehicle details (VIN, year/make/model)
Booking / shipping form (completed online shipping form)

Spain-side requirements can vary depending on whether you’re importing as a resident, relocating, or bringing in a classic vehicle, and our team will confirm what applies before booking.

U.S. export clearance:
For most shipments, U.S. Customs requires the vehicle title (or approved substitute) to be submitted prior to export. Our team coordinates the export filing based on your departure port and shipment type.

Some US states do not issue titles for classic cars, including Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. If your vehicle originates from one of these states and does not have a title, a notarized Bill of Sale may be required instead.

Our dedicated export team prepares every US export document and sends your customs agent in Spain the documents for import.

Delivery inside Spain: Madrid EUR 550, Barcelona EUR 750, Marbella EUR 700, Malaga EUR 750 from Valencia

Car Import Process from USA to Spain

Shipping a car from the USA to Spain works best when one team runs the US side. For a classic, an EV or a project car, we ship door to door: pickup, US export, ocean freight, and handoff to your customs agent in Spain.

To be driven in Spain, a car must pass homologation and the ITV inspection, which can mean changes to lighting and emissions paperwork. Your customs agent and the ITV station confirm what your car needs; we send the US documents they ask for before the car sails.

Key Benefits of Our Spain Car Shipping Process:

Door to door from any US address
Shared containers for a lower price per car
US export documents prepared by our own team
Pickup anywhere in the US, delivery in Spain from the port
Registration steps for Spain explained before the car sails
Enclosed containers for classics, high-value cars and EVs

We run the US side, from pickup to loading and export documents; your customs agent in Spain takes it from the port. Bought it at a US auction, from a dealer, or at an overseas sale with the car still in the US? We pick it up and ship it door to door to Valencia or Barcelona, by ocean or air. It's your dream car. Let's bring her home.

Registering Your Car in Spain

After shipping your car from the USA to Spain, you must complete several steps to legally register and drive it in the country. Spanish import regulations require compliance with emissions, safety, and tax laws before your vehicle can be registered.

Essential Documentation for Registration:

Foreign registration certificate and proof of ownership
Customs duty and VAT payment records
Technical inspection approval (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos - ITV)
Vehicle approval certificates (homologation for EU compliance)
Original bill of sale and shipping documents
Import declaration form

Classic and Collectors' Cars:

Original cars over 30 years old can be declared as collectors' items (heading 9705), with 10% import VAT, and can be registered as historic vehicles under their own rules. Your customs agent in Spain confirms both before the car sails.

Spanish authorities require vehicles to be inspected and properly homologated to meet EU driving standards. Modifications may be necessary, such as adjusting turn signals to amber and ensuring compliance with emissions regulations.
