Routes from Tenerife
From Tenerife to mainland Spain, the Balearics and any European country. The sea leg arrives in Huelva or Cádiz and, if the destination is the Balearics or another country, the car continues by road or on a second ship.
Routes to Tenerife
If you're moving to the island or buying a car elsewhere, we bring it from mainland Spain, the Balearics or any European country. You can receive it at home or pick it up at the port of Santa Cruz.
When it enters the Canary Islands, the car needs a customs entry declaration. We explain what that means in your case in our guide to shipping a car from mainland Spain to the Canary Islands.
Tenerife, the gateway to the western islands
Ferries to La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro leave from the port of Los Cristianos in the south of the island. That's why many transports with those islands go through Tenerife.

Door to door or at the port
Door to door
We collect the car from the address you give us and deliver it to the destination address. You don't need to go to the port or travel with it.
At the port
You drop the car off at the departure port and pick it up at the arrival port. It is usually cheaper if you live close to both ports.
What you need for the transport
- The vehicle's technical data sheet (ficha técnica) with a valid ITV inspection.
- The registration certificate (permiso de circulación).
- Valid vehicle insurance.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the destination, the service (door to door or at the port) and the type of vehicle. As a guide, transport of small vehicles between the Canary Islands and mainland Spain starts from €600.
