I come by car; do I need an environmental vignette for Benidorm?
I come by car; do I need an environmental vignette for Benidorm?
Since January 2023, an environmental zone has been established in Spain in all municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants. This also applies to Benidorm. The environmental zones are indicated by a sign with the environmental stickers of the vehicles that are allowed to enter the relevant environmental zone. The environmental vignettes have not yet been checked for 2023. From January 1, 2024, all cities will be legally required to do this and you risk high fines if you enter the environmental zone without a vignette.
For vehicles with a Spanish license plate, environmental vignettes are available at the Spanish post offices. The vignette is not yet available for foreign vehicles. However, a Danish, French, German or Austrian environmental sticker is also valid in Spain. If you do not yet have an environmental vignette, please purchase the French Crit'Air vignette in good time (delivery time approximately 10 days). If you are in Spain and you do not have a valid sticker, park outside the city.
The only vehicles allowed to enter the low-emission zones and which are so indicated on the new signage of the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) are:
- Blue – 0: zero-emission vehicle such as electric and gas-powered vehicles.
- Blue-green – ECO: hybrid and gas-powered vehicles that meet the criteria of the green sticker.
- Green – C: petrol cars registered in 2006 or later; diesel cars registered in 2014 or later; vehicles with more than 8 seats and heavy vehicles, both petrol and diesel, registered in 2014 or later.
For more information, we kindly refer to the information of the Spanish Government.
