Specialized short-term European insurance. Perfect for fast border crossings, temporary French registrations (CPI WW), and driving vehicles with foreign license plates legally inside France and neighboring EU countries.
Global insurance security. We arrange short-term or permanent coverage through Generali, providing instant insurance validity certificates (Green Cards) recognized by European police forces and customs desks.
Spain is notoriously strict regarding vehicle insurance on foreign plates. Standard Spanish companies require a permanent Spanish registration number and NIE.
To bypass this hurdle, **we partner with a premier, fully-registered insurance broker in Spain** who can issue immediate, compliant third-party or fully comprehensive policies using your vehicle’s **VIN/Chassis number**. This keeps you 100% legal to drive and complete your physical ITV (MOT) safety inspection before your final Spanish license plates are stamped.
When importing a foreign-registered left-hand drive or right-hand drive car into the UK, you face a major issue: the DVLA will not register the car without proof of valid UK insurance, but UK insurers won't issue standard policies on foreign registration numbers.
We arrange **specialized UK temporary insurance on the vehicle's VIN (chassis number)**. This temporary cover (typically 30 days) is fully accepted by the DVLA, allowing us to submit your V55/5 registration file and legally drive the vehicle to its required IVA/Mutual Recognition testing center.
If you have already identified your ideal vehicle online (on platforms like AutoTrader, Mobile.de, or AutoScout24) and want to buy it yourself, you don't have to face the complex cross-border bureaucracy alone!
For a highly competitive **flat management handling fee**, we offer a complete **Self-Sourced Import & Registration Concierge** service. You pay for the car, and we handle the stress:

Founded by a group of motor enthusiasts from different backgrounds, My LHD Car has grown from a specialized Left-Hand Drive automotive sourcing agency into a trusted, multi-divisional expat logistics, vehicle compliance, and lifestyle concierge network.

That's why we built our dedicated Registration, Logistics, and Phoenix Relocation divisions: to offer expats a single, reliable point of contact for their entire journey.
Our native staff work inside local offices (ANTS, DREAL, Gestorias, and IMT) every single day, handling your paperwork directly with no middle-men.
