Importing a car in Málaga

Málaga is one of Spain's fastest-growing economies and a popular destination for European expats bringing their cars to the Costa del Sol. Andalusia's 4% ITP makes importing relatively cheap from a tax point of view. The city has good connections with the Port of Algeciras (110 km away), ideal for sea imports. Málaga's airport also makes it easy for agents accompanying buyers to Germany. The large foreign-resident community (especially British and German) has produced an ecosystem of import-specialised agencies and professionals.
