(Looking to import a Spanish car into the Netherlands instead? See our separate import page.) Spanish buyers and Dutch expats moving south value the documented service history of Dutch occasions.

Why export a car from the Netherlands to Spain?
Spain is a popular destination for Dutch used cars, driven by Dutch residents relocating to the Costas and Spanish buyers looking for well-kept northern-European occasions. The mild Spanish climate is kind to bodywork, but a documented maintenance history remains a strong selling point.
As an EU member state, Spain charges no import duties on Dutch cars. Registration runs through the DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) and requires a Spanish technical inspection (ITV) plus payment of the registration tax where applicable. The RDW export certificate is the leading import document.
The route from Hengelo to Madrid is roughly 1,750 km via Belgium and France, staying inside the EU on toll motorways. For driving transport the 14-day export insurance covers the whole journey and can be extended for a longer trip.
