We bring cars from Europe to Portugal and buy yours, with the numbers done first
Since 2022 we have been importing used cars from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. We work out the ISV and the on-the-road price before you buy, handle the registration and, if you want to sell your car, make a written offer after seeing it.

Why the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
In our experience these are the three markets where the numbers work best for Portugal: plenty of cars, lower prices than here and paperwork we know well.
What decides whether it pays off is almost always the ISV in Portugal. That is why we work out the ISV of every car before taking any step. Calculate the ISV of your car.

Frequently asked questions
How long has TugaCarro been working?
We have been importing used cars from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany to Portugal since 2022.
The calculator, the catalogue and the Telegram bot are the tools we use every day, open to everyone.
Can I ask just for the numbers, with no obligation?
Yes.
Send the listing link or the car's details and we reply with the ISV, the IUC and the on-the-road cost. You only go ahead if you want to.
How much does it cost to register an imported car?
The biggest part is the ISV, which depends on engine size, CO₂ and the car's age: work it out in the calculator.
The fixed fees add up to a few hundred euros, and our service is quoted in writing before we start.
Where do you buy used cars?
In and around Lisbon, Loures, Porto and Leiria.
Elsewhere, ask anyway: we tell you straight away whether we can come and see the car.
Is the ISV calculator free?
Yes, free and without sign-up, with the 2026 ISV Code tables, the age reduction and the annual IUC.
