Buying a car in Bahrain

In order to buy a vehicle in Bahrain, you must have a residence visa. Once you have decided on the vehicle and the price, go to the Traffic Department in Isa Town together with the vendor. You will need your CPR card and the vendor should have the insurance certificate, and ownership card. A simple form then needs to be completed and signed by both parties and your new ownership can be registered at once. You are advised to go with the vendor, as sometimes signatures change and you may find that the form is rejected as the vendor's signature does not match the one used when he/she originally purchased the vehicle.

With many Arabs buying the new model of car as they come out getting a second hand 2 year old car is easy to do. When purchasing a car think about how easy it will be to sell once you want to,  Toyota and other Japanese cars are favored in the region so will be easier to sell than other.
