Hi everyone hope you are all well.

I need to have my car ITV end of Feb24-12Mar24 and know it is by Sitval at Benidorm which is nearest to me. I went on the website buf seems can only book Sep/Oct & Nov23 and looked like all dates gone. Dates in white already booked but orange dates could not be booked but interprate that come back later and maybe appointments.

I know I am looking early but need to know when to book flights from UK.

I thought I would check Alicante but that site only showed Sep/Oct23 so not able to confirm how in advance I can book appointment.

Is anyone able to confirm what the procedure is please?

Thanks

Moira

You do not need an appointment for an ITV, you can just turn up and wait your turn.

You do not have to use sny particular station either and you will probably find going a little further afield will be quicker in the long run.

Depending on which company you park with at Alicante airport you might find that they offer the service to take your car for ITV whilst you are away. Worth checking.

Yes this will be the last result. Would rather be there in case issues arise such as repairs.

Thank you for your response.

Yes I understand this but the system shows no available slots at Benidorm for Sep/Oct & Nov so looks like people are booking well in advance as well.

I think I will go in to Benidorm in Nov when back in Spain and will report back with what they advise

Appreciate all replies.

That's not correct, if you drive your vehicle to the ITV test centre once your ITV has expired you risk being fined.
