Frequently Asked Questions
Can I appeal a traffic fine in Spain?
Yes. You have 20 calendar days from notification to object. We check for errors in the notice, driver identification or evidence before deciding.
Should I pay the fine at the discount?
If the fine is correct, paying within 20 days cuts it by 50%, but you give up your right to appeal. If there are errors or points are wrongly deducted, appealing may be worth it.
Can I drive in Spain with my foreign licence?
As a tourist, generally yes. Once you become resident, a foreign licence is only valid for a limited time and, depending on the country, you can exchange it or will need to take the test. We advise on your case.
How much compensation can I get after an accident?
It depends on your injuries, lasting effects, time off work and damage, under the legal scale. We calculate it and claim it from the insurer.
