How does freight transport work from Spain to Germany?

SAVA Logistic operates scheduled road freight from Spain to Germany covering 1,350 km via AP-7, A-9, A7 (France), and A5 (Germany). LTL/groupage transit depends on the delivery zone, and full truckload is quoted case by case. No customs required (intra-EU). Key restriction: Fahrverbot prohibits driving on Sundays and public holidays in Germany.

Spain → Germany road freight, intra-EU and CMR-only

No customs clearance on this corridor: the CMR consignment note we issue, your commercial invoice and the packing list are the whole file. The line-haul leaves Castellar del Vallès on the AP-7, crosses into France at La Jonquera, runs up the A-9 and the A7 and enters Germany at Strasbourg on the A5, which is the German leg all the way to Frankfurt. Monday and Friday departures. Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Berlin ride those same departures up the Rhine, and so do Munich, Stuttgart and the rest of the south-east: one road for the whole country, entered at Strasbourg. Transit is not one figure for the country: it is read by delivery zone in the table further down this page, and the quote gives it for your exact postcode.

Typical cargo includes automotive components, industrial chemicals and machinery. Share the exact goods, packaging and loading requirements so our team can assess the route and handling. ADR requests receive an individual review. 2 LDM billed, or 0.4 LDM for Romania; pallets below 500 kg are accepted with the applicable minimum charge.

What decides whether a German delivery lands cleanly is usually the receiving end, not the road. Trade distribution centres work to booked unloading windows, and EPAL Euro-pallet exchange is the standard there: the driver swaps loaded pallets against empties at the dock, and a pallet debt starts the moment that swap is refused or comes up short. Send the delivery window and the pallet arrangement with the booking and we document the exchange on the CMR instead of arguing it afterwards. Spain-side collection is dispatched from Castellar del Vallès, the last mile runs through long-standing hub partners in Munich and Frankfurt, and the Sunday and public-holiday Fahrverbot is planned around before the truck loads rather than discovered on the way. One file, one point of contact on our side.

Baden-WürttembergStuttgart · ~1250 km

Baden-Württemberg is Germany's largest exporting federal state — EUR 241.4 billion in 2025, ahead of Bavaria's EUR 227.0 billion and North Rhine-Westphalia's EUR 218.1 billion — and it is one of the few European regions that publishes its trade broken down by partner country. Spain took EUR 7.61 billion of that in 2024, its tenth-largest export destination, and the detail is worth noting: the value rose 0.3% while the exported quantity rose 3.8%. More tonnage moved for slightly more money. Stuttgart sits roughly 1,250 km from our Barcelona hub, with LTL groupage transit by delivery zone on two weekly departures.

The headline industry here is automotive, but the freight does not follow the headline. Motor vehicles and parts is indeed the largest branch by turnover at EUR 139.1 billion across 199 establishments. Machinery is the larger branch by everything a groupage operator actually counts: 987 establishments and 295,738 employees against the car industry's 214,575, on EUR 76.0 billion of turnover with a 64.8% export ratio. Five times as many sites and a third more people. Machinery is where the delivery addresses are.

The Porsche assumption is worth correcting for the same reason. Zuffenhausen in Stuttgart built 66,881 vehicles in fiscal 2025 — the 911 and the Taycan — and that is genuinely the marque's home plant. But the majority of Porsche's output is built elsewhere: Leipzig alone produced 101,910 Macan and Panamera, 39% of group production, and the Cayenne comes out of Bratislava. Audi's Neckarsulm site, by contrast, is unambiguously here, with 15,509 people across roughly a million square metres building the A5, A6, A8 and e-tron GT. Bosch is headquartered at Gerlingen and ran EUR 90.5 billion of group revenue in 2024 with about 129,800 people in Germany, down 3% on the year.

One more figure gets misquoted often enough to be worth pinning down. Baden-Württemberg does lead the EU on research spending — 5.6% of GDP in 2023 — but that ranking holds at NUTS-1, the federal-state level. One tier down, the highest R&D intensity in the EU is Walloon Brabant at 9.3%, with the Stuttgart region second at 7.8%. Both statements are true at their own level; only one of them is usually quoted.

Main cities served

Stuttgart, Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Heidelberg and Ulm cover the state. Stuttgart carries the largest single-city manufacturing workforce at 64,917, Mannheim and Karlsruhe add the Rhine port volume, and Freiburg runs the highest export ratio of the six at 67.1%.

StuttgartMannheimKarlsruheFreiburgHeidelbergUlm

Key industries on this lane

The machinery base across the state maps to our industrial-machinery service, the Stuttgart, Neckarsulm and Sindelfingen vehicle plants and their supplier ring to automotive, and the Rhine valley chemical and pharmaceutical corridor to chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Technology, construction materials, furniture and e-commerce restocking run throughout.

Local Infrastructure & Logistics in Baden-Württemberg

The route into Baden-Württemberg clears La Jonquera into France, runs the A7/A6 north and crosses the Rhine at Strasbourg onto the A5, which puts Karlsruhe, Stuttgart and the whole Neckar valley within a short run of the border — about 1,250 km from our Barcelona hub, closer than North Rhine-Westphalia. The state's inland ports are a real alternative mode rather than a decoration: they moved 24.9 million tonnes in 2025, which the state statistics office calculates as taking 1,245,000 lorry loads off the roads. Karlsruhe is the largest at 6.70 million tonnes across 300 hectares, around 200 port companies, two container terminals and 14 km of rail-served quay — more cargo than Mannheim's 5.80 million, which is not the order most people expect. Kehl adds 12 km of quay and 42 km of rail track. Air freight is not the channel here: Stuttgart handled 34,596 tonnes in 2025, and its air mail collapsed from 6,879 tonnes in 2023 to under a tonne after night mail flights ended in March 2024. Two scheduling constraints bracket delivery. Section 30(3) StVO bans lorries over 7.5 tonnes on Sundays and public holidays from 00:00 to 22:00, and the holiday list is state-specific, so Baden-Württemberg's banned days are not the same as its neighbours'. The Ferienreiseverordnung adds every Saturday from 1 July to 31 August on named motorway sections. Stuttgart's diesel traffic restrictions were retained rather than lifted in January 2025 despite compliant NO2 readings, and we check the current rule against the delivery address rather than assume how it applies.

Frequently asked

What is the transit time from Spain to Stuttgart?

Stuttgart sits roughly 1,250 km from our Barcelona hub and LTL groupage delivers on two departures a week, crossing the Rhine at Strasbourg onto the A5. Transit depends on the delivery zone — the table on this page gives it zone by zone, calculated from recorded planned or agreed dates.

How much does Baden-Württemberg trade with Spain?

EUR 7.61 billion of exports in 2024, making Spain its tenth-largest destination. This is one of the few European regions where genuine bilateral data exists at regional level rather than only nationally. Worth noting that in 2024 the value grew 0.3% while the exported quantity grew 3.8% — more tonnage for barely more money.

Is this mainly an automotive lane?

By turnover yes, by freight addresses no. Machinery has 987 establishments and 295,738 employees against the vehicle industry's 199 sites and 214,575 people. Cars turn over nearly twice as much, but machinery is where the collection and delivery points are, and our consolidations reflect that.

Which postcodes do you cover?

PLZ prefixes 70 through 79 plus 88 and 89 — Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Tübingen and the Ulm and Ravensburg areas. Any postcode under those prefixes prices as standard Baden-Württemberg coverage.

SaarlandSaarbrücken · ~1200 km

Saarland is Germany's smallest territorial Bundesland but punches well above its weight in freight terms. Located just across the French border, Saarbrücken sits about 1,200 km from our Barcelona hub and receives LTL groupage with transit by delivery zone on the corridor's two weekly departures via the A6 from Strasbourg.

The region's economy revolves around automotive manufacturing and heavy industry — a dense network of steel and engineering suppliers generates consistent inbound parts flows from Spain, though vehicle assembly at Saarlouis ended in November 2025 — Ford sold the site to Saarland's development company and now runs only a components operation there, shipping outbound to Cologne, while Vetter is building a pharmaceutical plant on roughly 40 hectares of the former grounds with production due in 2031. The compact PLZ footprint (all under prefix 66) means most deliveries are within a short drive of Saarbrücken, making Saarland one of the tightest delivery zones on the Germany corridor.

Main cities served

Saarbrücken, Neunkirchen, Homburg and Völklingen cover the full region — all within 30 minutes of the A6/A1 interchange, making multi-drop runs efficient.

Local Infrastructure & Logistics in Saarland

The route in Saarland runs roughly 1,200 km from our Barcelona hub: across at La Jonquera, up through France and over the Franco-German border at Strasbourg, then the A6 carries loads the short final hop into Saarbrücken. From there we deconsolidate the groupage trailer for last-mile drops to Neunkirchen, Homburg and Völklingen, all sitting inside the single 66 postcode area within a quick run of the A6/A1 interchange. Two weekly LTL departures keep this compact Saarland zone tightly served.

Frequently asked

How fast is delivery from Spain to Saarbrücken?

Saarbrücken is about 1,200 km from our Barcelona hub. LTL groupage delivers with transit by delivery zone on the corridor's two weekly departures. The A6 connection from Strasbourg puts Saarland among the closer German drops after the border crossing.

Is the Ford plant at Saarlouis still a delivery destination?

Not as a vehicle plant. Ford ended assembly at Saarlouis in November 2025 and sold the site; it still runs a components operation there, but that freight moves outbound to Cologne rather than inbound. We serve industrial consignees across the Saarlouis area as normal, delivering to dock and coordinating with the receiving schedule.

Which Saarland postal codes do you cover?

All codes under PLZ prefix 66 — that covers the entire Bundesland from Saarbrücken through to Merzig and St. Wendel.

Rhineland-PalatinateMainz · ~1350 km

Rhineland-Palatinate stretches along the left bank of the Rhine from Mainz down to Trier, placing its capital about 1,350 km from our Barcelona hub. LTL groupage delivers across the region with transit by delivery zone on the corridor's two weekly departures, entering Germany at Strasbourg and feeding the A61/A65 arterials toward the Rhine valley.

The region hosts Europe's largest chemical complex at Ludwigshafen — the BASF campus and its surrounding supplier parks generate significant inbound ADR and non-ADR freight from Spain. The wine-growing Palatinate adds ambient food flows, while the Koblenz and Trier hubs handle general industrial distribution for the Eifel and Mosel corridors. Rhineland-Palatinate's central position also makes it a natural crossroads for onward distribution into the Ruhr area and Benelux.

Main cities served

Mainz, Ludwigshafen, Koblenz, Trier and Kaiserslautern cover the region's freight map — Ludwigshafen handles the bulk of chemical logistics while Koblenz and Trier serve the western reaches.

Local Infrastructure & Logistics in Rhineland-Palatinate

The route in Rhineland-Palatinate runs from Barcelona to La Jonquera, crosses into Germany at Strasbourg, then tracks the roughly 1,350 km up the Rhine valley along the A61 and A65 arterials our two weekly LTL departures use. Once on the left bank, consolidated loads break down for last-mile delivery across the 54–57 and 65–67 postcode areas — feeding Mainz, the BASF chemical traffic at Ludwigshafen, the Palatinate wine country, and the Koblenz and Trier hubs out toward Kaiserslautern.

BavariaMünchen · ~1500 km

Bavaria is the second-largest German destination on this corridor after North Rhine-Westphalia, and Munich sits roughly 1,500 km from our Barcelona hub with LTL groupage transit by delivery zone on two weekly departures. The state's manufacturing base is genuinely vast: 7,903 plants employing 1,293,885 people at September 2025, on EUR 485.2 billion of turnover of which EUR 282.4 billion was foreign.

The plant that matters most here is the one usually left off the list. BMW's Regensburg site — not Munich — built 342,521 vehicles in 2024, making it the BMW Group's highest-volume vehicle plant in Europe that year, and 356,901 in 2025, over 266,000 of them X1 and more than 90,000 X2. Around 9,000 people run it across Regensburg and Wackersdorf on three shifts, completing more than 1,400 vehicles a working day, one every 57 seconds. Output rose by more than 100,000 units between 2023 and 2024. Audi's Ingolstadt plant built 341,420 vehicles in 2025 with roughly 40,000 people on site, and adds the Q3 from 2026.

MAN is the other name that gets misplaced. Trucks are built at the Munich parent plant — the TGS and TGX from 18 to 44 tonnes, plus painted cab bodies and driven axles for the whole plant network, with electric trucks running down the same line as diesel since 2024. Nuremberg is not a truck assembly plant: it is MAN's lead site for drive technologies, building engines and, since 2025, high-voltage battery packs in large-scale series. Nuremberg also holds Siemens Energy's transformer works, which shipped 133 heavy items totalling 19,000 tonnes in 2025 — abnormal-load traffic that shares the same motorway network as our trailers.

One trend on this lane is worth reporting honestly even though it moves freight away from road. Since spring 2025 Audi has shipped battery modules for the A6 and Q6 e-tron from Hungary to Ingolstadt by rail rather than by road, and states that one fully loaded wagon replaces three trucks. The modal shift is real and we would rather name it than pretend the road share is static.

Main cities served

München, Nürnberg, Augsburg, Regensburg, Ingolstadt and Würzburg cover the state. Munich carries the largest single-city manufacturing workforce at 99,525, Regensburg holds both the BMW plant and the leading Bavarian inland port, and Würzburg is by a wide margin the smallest industrial base of the six.

Technology, construction materials, furniture and e-commerce restocking run throughout.

Local Infrastructure & Logistics in Bavaria

The route into Bavaria clears La Jonquera, crosses France to Strasbourg and runs the A8 past Stuttgart onto the A9 corridor, putting Munich about 1,500 km from our Barcelona hub. The alternative to road here is unusually well developed: bayernhafen runs six sites — not the five usually cited, Roth is routinely omitted — and moved 8.37 million tonnes by ship and rail in 2025 plus 478,680 TEU, which the operator calculates as avoiding around 487,000 lorry journeys. Regensburg is the largest at 2.57 million tonnes and 102,832 TEU, with heavy-lift infrastructure and scheduled container rail to Hamburg and Bremerhaven; Nürnberg and Roth together handled over 4.1 million tonnes, with three higher-capacity cranes going into the TriCon terminal from early 2026. Two changes are worth planning around: the trailer train between Regensburg and Hungary was discontinued at the end of 2025 after almost two years, and the Regensburg-Nürnberg and Regensburg-Passau lines undergo general refurbishment during 2026, with full closures and diversions expected. On the road side, the Sunday and holiday ban under section 30(3) StVO counts Corpus Christi and All Saints' Day as public holidays in Bavaria on top of the national list, so Bavaria loses delivery days its neighbours keep. Munich's low-emission zone covers everything inside the Mittlerer Ring and bars diesel below Euro 5/V until further notice.

Which is Bavaria's biggest car plant?

Regensburg, not Munich. BMW's Regensburg plant built 342,521 vehicles in 2024 — the BMW Group's highest-volume vehicle plant in Europe that year — and 356,901 in 2025, at more than 1,400 vehicles a working day. Audi Ingolstadt is close behind at 341,420 in 2025.

Does MAN build trucks at Nuremberg?

No. Nuremberg is MAN's lead plant for drive technologies — engines, and high-voltage battery packs in large-scale series since 2025.

HesseWiesbaden · ~1350 km

Hesse sits at the crossroads of Germany's motorway network, with Frankfurt as both a financial capital and Europe's largest air cargo hub. Wiesbaden, the regional capital, is about 1,350 km from our Barcelona hub, and LTL groupage reaches anywhere in Hesse with transit by delivery zone on the corridor's two weekly departures via the A5 from Strasbourg directly into the Frankfurt metropolitan area.

Frankfurt's logistics clusters around the airport and the Rhine-Main industrial parks generate large volumes of technology and consumer goods freight. Kassel in the north adds automotive supplier flows feeding the VW network, while Darmstadt's pharmaceutical and chemical corridor connects into the Ludwigshafen complex across the Rhine. Hesse's compact geography means most drops sit within two hours of the A5/A3 interchange, keeping last-mile runs efficient across all eight PLZ prefix zones.

Main cities served

Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Kassel, Darmstadt and Offenbach cover Hesse's freight map — Frankfurt dominates with airport and distribution logistics while Kassel handles northern industrial flows.

North Rhine-WestphaliaDüsseldorf · ~1450 km

North Rhine-Westphalia buys more from Spain than it sells back. The state statistical office IT.NRW puts 2024 imports from Spain at EUR 11.78 billion against EUR 8.16 billion exported the other way — Spain is NRW's eighth-largest supplier country and only its tenth-largest customer. That asymmetry is the reason this lane runs the way it does: the loaded direction is southbound-to-northbound, and Spanish shippers are competing for space on it.

Read that figure for what it is. It is trade value across every mode — sea through Rotterdam and Antwerp, rail, pipeline, road — not truck count, and a Land sitting downstream of the ARA ports records import value that entered Europe elsewhere. It also runs against the national picture: Germany as a whole holds a comfortable goods surplus with Spain. The deficit belongs to NRW specifically, and it is the clearest single indicator of how much industrial demand sits inside these eighteen postcode zones.

The demand comes from a manufacturing base that still carries 16.5% of the state's gross value added. Duisburg anchors it twice over: as Europe's largest steel location, and as the site of duisport, which its own audited accounts describe as the world's largest inland port and Europe's largest hinterland hub — 3.9 million TEU in 2024 across a trimodal estate that already moves more freight by truck than by barge. Thirteen chemical parks, more than any other German state, run at Leverkusen, Marl, Dormagen and Gelsenkirchen behind a pipeline network that employs roughly 123,700 people. In the Cologne chamber district alone, IHK Köln counts 5,711 industrial firms and 136,394 industrial employees.

For a Spain-origin groupage operator that geography is unusually forgiving. Düsseldorf sits about 1,450 km from our Barcelona hub, reached on two weekly departures via the A5 through Strasbourg and then the A3/A61 down the Rhine valley, with LTL transit by delivery zone. Once a trailer is deconsolidated, the Rhine-Ruhr motorway grid keeps last-mile legs short enough that Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg, Köln, Düsseldorf and Bielefeld all price as one coverage area rather than as separate regional runs.

Main cities served

Düsseldorf, Köln, Dortmund, Essen, Duisburg and Bielefeld cover the region's freight geography — the Ruhr cities handle heavy industrial flows while Düsseldorf and Köln manage distribution and consumer logistics.

Local Infrastructure & Logistics in North Rhine-Westphalia

The route into North Rhine-Westphalia clears La Jonquera into France, runs north on the A7/A6 to the Strasbourg (Kehl) crossing onto the A5, then picks up the A3/A61 down the Rhine valley to put Düsseldorf roughly 1,450 km from our Barcelona hub. From there the A1/A2/A3 grid lets us deconsolidate each twice-weekly groupage load for last-mile delivery across the Ruhr — Dortmund, Essen and Duisburg — plus Köln, Düsseldorf and Bielefeld, covering the full PLZ 32 to 59 span. One scheduling constraint shapes every delivery window: Germany bans trucks over 7.5 t nationwide on Sundays and public holidays from 00:00 to 22:00, so an arrival that slips past Saturday afternoon waits for Monday. We build that into the transit band rather than discovering it at the border.

Why is Spain-to-NRW the heavier direction?

Because the trade runs that way. IT.NRW recorded EUR 11.78 billion of imports from Spain in 2024 against EUR 8.16 billion of exports to Spain, making Spain NRW's eighth-largest supplier and tenth-largest customer. That is trade value across all transport modes rather than road tonnage, but the direction of the imbalance is consistent, and it matches what we see in space demand on the lane.

What kind of freight moves on this lane?

On our own Spain-Germany consolidations the recurring categories are automotive components, industrial machinery, chemicals and electronics — which tracks the region's industrial base: an automotive supply chain across the Ruhr, thirteen chemical parks at Leverkusen, Marl, Dormagen and Gelsenkirchen, and a machinery cluster running east into Westphalia.

Which NRW postal codes do you cover?

All PLZ prefixes 32, 33, 40 through 53, and 57 through 59. Any postcode under those prefixes prices as standard NRW coverage in the quote form, without a regional surcharge for the Ruhr cities.

Illustrative scenarios

How we run this corridor

Olive Oil & Preserves: Valencia to German Distributors

Weekly groupage replaces irregular full loads and steadies the cost per pallet

Premium olive oil producer, Valencia region

Challenge

The producer was shipping full trucks every 3–4 weeks, tying up working capital in large inventory batches. German distributors preferred smaller, more frequent deliveries to manage warehouse space. The producer needed to shift to weekly shipments without cost escalation.

SAVA Solution

SAVA structured a weekly groupage arrangement: pickup in Valencia early in the week, consolidation at Castellar del Vallès, and a fixed weekly departure on the Spain→Germany corridor. Multi-drop delivery to three distributors was managed as a single service, with one invoice and one tracking number.

Frequently asked

How long does Spain to Germany road freight take?

Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg belong to different delivery zones. We confirm timing using the collection and delivery postcodes and loading date. This page’s table shows available cells in working days, calculated from planned dates; these are neither actual deliveries nor a guaranteed date. The country-level sample includes 3,136 shipments with planned dates.

Can you handle automotive just-in-time deliveries?

The plants people ask about on this lane are not interchangeable: Stuttgart falls in delivery zone 2 of our tariff, Munich and Ingolstadt in zone 4, Wolfsburg in zone 6. Send us the plant postcode and the dock slot you have to hit, and we plan backwards from it, around the Sunday and holiday ban instead of into it. Where a line stop is the real risk, a dedicated trailer takes the consolidation step out of the chain altogether and we price that case by case.

How does the German Sunday driving ban affect my delivery?

Trucks over 7.5 t may not drive anywhere in Germany on Sundays and public holidays between 00:00 and 22:00 under §30 StVO, last checked against the official source in September 2026. The fixed closures are 1 January, 1 May, 3 October, 25 and 26 December, plus four movable ones that shift every year: Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension and Whit Monday. Between 1 July and 31 August a second ban closes listed motorways on Saturdays from 07:00 to 20:00 under the Ferienreiseverordnung, so a summer weekend can cost two standing days instead of one. Combined transport to or from the nearest terminal, perishable foods and livestock are exempt; for everything else we place the load so that it is either past the window or parked where it can restart at 22:00.

Do I need customs paperwork for Spain to Germany?

No. Both countries are inside the single market, so there is no export declaration, no import clearance, no duty and no EORI filing for the movement itself. What travels with the goods is the CMR consignment note, which we issue, your commercial invoice and packing list, and any product-specific document such as an ADR transport document. The practical effect is that the two crossings this lane declares, La Jonquera and Strasbourg, are drive-throughs: between the Castellar hub and the German dock the longest planned stop is the driver's statutory rest, not a border.

What equipment do you run for Germany, and what has to be on my pallets?

The lane accepts up to 8 loading metres per consignment; above that a dedicated trailer is normally the cheaper answer. Standard Euro pallets at 80 × 120 cm and industrial pallets at 100 × 120 cm both load, with a maximum height including the goods of 220 cm on a standard trailer and 300 cm on a mega trailer of 100 m³, which is the number that matters when the consignee's dock is specced for a mega. Pallets have to be stretch-wrapped and labelled with the delivery address and the booking reference, and anything non-stackable has to be marked as such, because that marking is what stops another pallet being loaded on top of it. Send the dimensions and the dock specification with the booking and we match the equipment before the truck is loaded, not at the gate.

Is LTL groupage available from Spain to Germany?

Yes, and it is the scheduled product on this lane: the corridor commits to departures on Mondays and Fridays out of the Castellar hub. Over the last twelve months the line recorded 352 departures, with at least one in 51 of the 52 weeks of the year, which says more about availability than any headline frequency. The floor is 2 LDM and the ceiling is 8 loading metres. The Sunday and holiday Fahrverbot and the German LKW-Maut are built into the plan and into the price rather than added to the invoice afterwards. 2 LDM billed, or 0.4 LDM for Romania; pallets below 500 kg are accepted with the applicable minimum charge.

Which parts of Spain do you collect from for German shipments?

All of the peninsula, through the seven collection areas the tariff itself defines: Barcelona; Girona, Lleida, Tarragona and Huesca; Valencia, Castellón and Zaragoza; Madrid, Murcia, Alicante, Navarra, the Basque Country, La Rioja, Toledo, Albacete, Guadalajara, Teruel and Soria; Valladolid, Cantabria, Ciudad Real, León, Cuenca, Ávila and Palencia; Seville, Málaga, Córdoba, Granada, Almería, Jaén, Asturias, Badajoz, Cáceres, Burgos, Salamanca, Segovia and Zamora; and Cádiz, A Coruña, Pontevedra, Lugo, Ourense and Huelva. The collection area affects price and planning. Confirm both postcodes and the delivery window before booking.

Is my cargo insured on the Spain to Germany lane, and who is liable?

Every consignment moves under CMR convention liability, the default legal regime for cross-border road freight in Europe, and that liability is capped by weight at roughly 8.33 SDR per kilo. Weight is the word to read: a 300 kg pallet of electronics is covered for a fraction of what it is worth, and no amount of care changes the cap. For full replacement value we arrange all-risk cargo insurance on request — tell us the commercial value of the load and the premium is quoted alongside the freight. The CMR consignment note is the document of record for any claim, which is why the condition of the goods has to be written on it at delivery rather than e-mailed the next day.

Do you carry return loads from Germany back to Spain?

Yes, on request rather than as a published reverse schedule: return capacity depends on what went out that week, so each backhaul is priced against the outbound load we already have. Everything structural about the lane works in reverse — the same CMR, the same two crossings at La Jonquera and Strasbourg, the same absence of clearance. What does not transfer is the measurement: the figures on this page come from Spain-to-Germany consignments, and a German collection is quoted with its own date instead of being read off this table. Germany-to-Spain flows have their own pages on this site, because the collection geography is German and the delivery geography Spanish, and those are two different problems.
