Why UK Owners in Portugal Choose Us
Portugal is a firm favourite with British expats and retirees, from the Algarve around Faro to Lisbon and Porto, and UK-registered cars arrive with them in their thousands. Re-registering on Portuguese plates, though, means the ISV vehicle tax — often steep — plus the IPO roadworthiness inspection and a drawn-out matrícula process.
For many owners that bill is too high to justify on a car they might not keep for long. Selling it back into the UK trade avoids every euro of it. We buy UK-registered vehicles exactly as they are, wherever you are in the country.
Free Collection Across Portugal
Collection from Portugal is well trodden: our transporters head up through Spain and France to the Channel crossings, or use the Bilbao and Santander ferries to Portsmouth when it suits — either way reaching Lisbon, Porto or Faro within days of your acceptance. As Portugal is in the EU, the car moves under standard export documentation, and we complete every form so you just collect your payment.
Right-Hand Drive? No Problem
Portugal drives on the right, so a right-hand-drive UK car is trickier to sell to Portuguese buyers and often changes hands below its real value locally. Returning it to the UK market, where right-hand drive is the norm, is almost always the surest way to realise what the car is actually worth.
We collect UK-registered vehicles from Lisbon, Porto, Faro and every town in between — all paperwork handled, and you're paid in pounds sterling (£) on the day of collection. Get your free, guaranteed valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a valid IPO inspection to sell my UK car in Portugal?
No. Because we buy your car as a UK-registered vehicle and export it rather than legalising it on Portuguese plates, the IPO is irrelevant. We purchase cars with no IPO, no MOT and no Portuguese road tax, and collect free.
Can I avoid Portugal's ISV import tax by selling to you?
Yes. The ISV only applies when you register the car for Portuguese roads, which you avoid entirely by selling it to us as a UK-registered vehicle for export. As Portugal is in the EU, there is also no export paperwork for you.
How quickly can you collect my car?
We can typically arrange collection within 5-7 working days of you accepting our offer, depending on your location in Europe.
Are there any hidden fees?
Absolutely not. Our service is completely free to use and we cover all collection and administration costs — there are no fees or deductions at any point.
Is my offer final?
Every offer is subject to a short inspection when we collect the car, simply to confirm it matches the details and condition you described. If everything is as described, the offer stands.
How and when do I get paid?
You will be paid in pounds sterling (£) via a secure and instant bank transfer on the day of collection. Our driver will not leave with the vehicle until you have confirmed the funds are in your account.
Can you buy my car without an MOT or road tax?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in buying cars regardless of their MOT or tax status.
I can't find my V5C (logbook). Can you still buy my car?
Yes, in most cases we can still purchase your vehicle. We handle all the necessary DVLA paperwork to confirm ownership. Please mention this when you fill out the form.
