What do our clients say?
Ricardo’s assistance was instrumental in converting my US driver’s license to a Portuguese one. Well worth the money! Considering the fact that the whole Algarve region is served by one tiny storefront in Faro, his help in getting through the crowds was indispensable.
Terrific service from gbinport! I imported a car from Germany and they did all the matriculation paperwork. They know the ins and outs of the very complicated system here in Portugal to get a driving licence or to extend your visa. They make any issue easy. Talk to THE experts! 👍
Ricardo was recommended to me from a fellow patron at Quinta das Borboletas (best fish and chips around). I made the mistake of buying an older vehicle in Spain, another agency in Vila Nova de Cacela wasn’t able to get a COC, GB in Port did and knew all the procedures to get my vehicle matriculated. Make sure your vehicle is tuned up as the state fee is calculated on the vehicle emissions.
