Importing a car in Palma

Palma de Mallorca's car-import market has unique features: as an island, all vehicles arrive by ship or plane (the latter only for small cars on special services). The Balearic Islands apply a 4% ITP, competitive with other regions. The Port of Palma and Port of Alcúdia regularly receive vehicle ships from Barcelona and Valencia. The extra cost of island sea freight (€50–200 over mainland transport) must be factored in. The island's high purchasing power sustains demand for imported premium cars.
