Travelling with an export vehicle on a Balearia ferry
For routes to Algeria with Baleària (Valencia–Mostaganem and Barcelona–Algeria): From 1 January 2027, vehicles intended for export to Algeria must follow a specific customs procedure. Customers must first make a standard booking (passenger + vehicle) via our website, The vehicle included in the booking must be the same one intended for export and must comply with Algerian customs regulations.
Once the booking is confirmed, customers must email their booking confirmation and DAE customs documentation (Export Accompanying Document) to the relevant address: export.algerie@balearia.com for departures from Valencia, or exportacion.barcelona@balearia.com for departures from Barcelona. This must be completed at least 6 hours before departure to guarantee boarding. The DAE must include the vehicle's registration number, full chassis number and port of departure.
Customers must arrive at the port at least 4 hours before departure from Valencia or 6 hours before departure from Barcelona, with all the required travel and customs documentation.
If the customer is not the registered owner of the vehicle, they must also provide:
The original, valid vehicle registration document.
Original written authorisation from the vehicle owner, signed by both the owner and the person transporting the vehicle to Algeria, and certified and stamped by a notary, town hall or other competent public authority.
A copy of the identity document or passport of both the vehicle owner and the person transporting the vehicle.
Bookings paid in Algerian dinars: If the booking already includes an export vehicle, the export vehicle fare will be included in the booking. If the booking does not include an export vehicle, customers in Spain must pay a fixed fee of €50 at the ticket office to receive the passenger boarding pass and vehicle boarding authorisation. Customers in Algeria may pay the corresponding fee in dinars.
Important – Departures from Barcelona: If the vehicle is carrying more than three items of goods per passenger, regardless of the type of goods, we strongly recommend presenting an export DUA (Single Administrative Document).
