These guys transported a car for me in 2017. They were excellent.

Hi Janine,

Are you in the UK with a UK registered car? Are you resident in Spain or the UK?  I ask because there have been some recent posts that suggest, post-Brexit, re-registering a UK car in Spain is much more expensive for UK citizens than it was before 1 January.  Before committing to the expense of bringing it over, it may be wise to get a quote from a company in Spain to do the re-registration.  I'd recommend Graham and Leigh at:

Kind regards, 

Kim

I drive down regularly using the tunnel depending time of year it normally costs about 300 euros in tolls, fuel and one night hotel, your tunnel will be approx £80-£100.

You will be charged a tax on the value of the car when you put on Spanish plates..

Barry is correct, personally, you would be better buying a Spanish registered car from a reputable dealer in Spain.
