Importing your Bentley to the United Kingdom
Did someone say Bentley? You have our attention.
The My Car Import team imports every make of car from everyday hatchbacks to premium luxury cars, like a Bentley. Every import is incredibly important to us, but we understand that importing a Bentley comes with a different level of service requirement.
Over the years, we have imported cars ranging from the Porsche 918 Spyder to timeless and priceless classic vintage cars. Customers trust us with their imports because of our bespoke process that’s tailored to the requirements of both the car and the owner.
For luxury cars like the Bentley, we recommend our enclosed transport alongside fully insured transportation of the car. That’s whether it is in the EU or outside of the EU.
For some added sparkle to those with prestigious cars, we’re more than happy to take your Bentley for routine servicing whilst we have it in our facilities during the registration process. We also offer car detailing using a third party if you fancy having the paintwork rejuvenated.
Once your Bentley arrives at My Car Import, we take care of the modifications required to ensure compliance within the UK. Your registration paperwork will be taken care of. Depending on the origin and age of your Bentley, you may also require an IVA test which is undertaken in-house. For you, that means no additional transportation of your car to Government testing centres.
We’d love to hear from you and discuss your Bentley.
Can I import a Bentley car to the United Kingdom?
Yes! It is possible to import a Bentley to the United Kingdom. Bentley is a prestigious luxury brand, and importing their cars can be a great choice for enthusiasts looking for top-tier craftsmanship and performance.
What documents do I need to import a Bentley car to the UK?
The necessary documents may include the car’s original title or registration certificate, a bill of sale, proof of ownership, a valid passport, and the car’s export certificate from the country of origin. You may also need to provide a completed customs declaration form and any other documentation required by the UK authorities.
Do I need to pay import duties or taxes on a Bentley car?
Yes. When importing a Bentley car to the UK, you may be liable to pay import duties, such as customs duty and value-added tax (VAT). The amount of duties and taxes will depend on factors such as the car’s value, age, and emissions rating. It is recommended to consult with UK customs or a professional customs broker to determine the specific costs involved. We can help with this.
Are there any restrictions on importing Bentley cars to the UK?
The UK has specific regulations regarding car imports, including emissions and safety standards. It is important to ensure that the Bentley you wish to import meets these requirements. Additionally, there may be restrictions on importing certain models or modifications, so it’s advisable to check with the UK authorities or a car import specialist for guidance.
How do I transport the Bentley car to the UK?
You can choose to transport the Bentley car to the UK by using container shipping, roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) shipping, or air freight. The most suitable method will depend on factors such as cost, convenience, and the specific location of the car.
Do I need to register the imported Bentley car in the UK?
You do. Once the Bentley arrives in the UK, it must go through the registration process with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). This involves obtaining a UK registration certificate, and license plates, and paying any applicable registration fees.
Please note that import regulations and requirements may change over time. It is recommended to consult with the UK authorities, such as HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) or the DVLA, or seek professional advice from a car import specialist to ensure compliance with the latest regulations when importing Bentley cars to the United Kingdom.
