It
is possible to bring a right hand drive car to Mallorca and it
can be used for a short time without the need to register the
car with the authorities. However, if you are able to sell your
car before you move it would be advantageous as visibility is
impaired at certain times - i.e. roundabouts, overtaking and there
is a charge to register a right hand drive car for PM plates.
It is also possible to insure an English plated car in Mallorca
and Insurance generally works out slightly cheaper than in the
UK.
Left-hand
drive cars are advisable and once you have made the various applications
to buy your business you are able to purchase one. However only
buy from a reputable dealer as cars can have problems with past
debts, which a new owner could find himself responsible for. New
cars are much cheaper than in the UK as are second hand cars,
and taking into account the mileage and age of the vehicle a second
hand car represents extremely good value.
Petrol
is lower in price than in the UK and diesel considerably so, a
road fund licence is about £60 per annum for a small family
saloon and the Spanish equivalent to the MOT is only required
when the car is over four years old and is then only required
every two years.
