Avoid any fines! Find out about Spain's border allowance for spirits, cigarettes, and perfume.

Stress-Free Transfer for Gibraltar Duty-Free Shopping

Gibraltar's Main Street is famous for VAT-free luxury goods, tobacco, and spirits. However, returning to Spain means navigating strict customs allowances.

Know Your Customs Limits

Before heading back across the border into La Línea, remember the allowances (per adult):

  • Tobacco: 200 cigarettes (or equivalent).
  • Alcohol: 1 liter of spirits OR 2 liters of fortified wine.
  • Other Goods: Up to €300 in value.

Note: Allowances can change, always verify with official sources.

How We Make it Stress-Free

By booking our private transfer, you avoid attempting to drive your rental car into Gibraltar (which can result in hours of border queues). We drop you off right at the Spanish side. You simply walk across, shop, and walk back out through the green channel, where your driver will be waiting to transport you securely back up the Costa del Sol.
