Yes... importing our car was more difficult than any of the other processes of our emigration. This was also the case for others we've talked to.
We looked online, only to find a bunch of incomplete, conflicting information. The general steps were somewhat clear, but HOW and WHERE to do everything was a mystery..
So we looked for help...
We contacted several companies. The first didn't reply at all. And the second didn't follow through. We lost months in the process.
Finally we decided to just figure the process out ourselves, through trial and error and way too many phone calls.
This country sure loves bureaucracy.
After several months of headache, we finally received our Portugese licence plate!
Now that we know how to do this, we want to help you get through this ridiculous process.
With our help, you can import your car easily!
Truly remarkable service! In 2024 I wanted to import my motorcycle to Portugal. I’m super glad I found this website and got in touch with Mathijs. Some of the information found elsewhere online is contradictory and the process can look pretty complicated and tedious, especially for someone new to the country.
Initially I had started to figure out things on my own and ran into few headaches with custom forms. After handing over to Mathijs and his team, they took care of pretty much everything for me. Also, when they learned that I was in a rush with a process which can normally take few months, they offered a fast service option. The communication was prompt and professional from the first moment and everything was handled remotely during the time when I was actually on the road bringing the bike over from Sweden.
On top of everything, the fast service option was truly extra-fast. I was able to attach the Portuguese plate right after the bike arrived to the country.
Working with Car Import Portugal has been a pleasure. Made the whole process easy and simple, always helpful and on time feedback.
Thanks for the help and advice you gave us, we were able to import our two vehicles duty free. It saved us a lot of time and it went without any hassle.
I contacted Car Import Portugal when trying to decide whether to bring my car to Portugal from another EU country. Communication in English was easy, they were very responsive, and the quote was quick. The taxes ended up being too high to justify the import, and I am so glad I contacted them first - it saved me from an unpleasant surprise later! I'd definitely recommend working with them if you are considering bringing a car to Portugal.
First of all an enormous thank you is in order! Mathijs has been made the import of my car hassle free, transparent and with the best communication through the entire process.
My car is an older camper van and that came with quite a few challenges on finding the correct information and documentation for the import. For every hick-up on the way Mathijs figured it out and solved it all!
Before contacting carimportportugal I was looking at different service and trying it myself too. It is quite a challenge and I got turned down other places due to my type of car and it being from outside the EU.
Forever grateful to Mathijs and his team! Highly recommended!
Mathijs presents specific and detailed information with kindness, patience and clarity. He helped us successfully complete many steps of the foreign car import process and surely saved us many hours of trial and error.
Car Import Portugal was an invaluable asset in the process of importing my car to Portugal. The vehicle's history of previously being imported from the United States presented unique challenges that I certainly could not have navigated without their help. Furthermore, Mathijs' warm personality and professionalism were evident throughout our interactions. He consistently responded quickly, providing peace of mind and ensuring a smooth experience. I'm thankful for his assistance and highly recommend his services.
Mathijs answered my question about car import promptly and, how it seemed to me, sincerely and professional.
