Overview
- From June 1 to September 30, Ibiza caps daily non-resident vehicles at 20,000 to curb unsustainable tourist flows
- Of the daily quota, 16,000 spots are designated for rental cars and 4,000 for private vehicles that require prior authorization
- Caravans must hold confirmed campsite reservations and are prohibited from parking in natural areas
- The move addresses a fourfold increase in vehicles on the island since 2002 and annual tourist arrivals of 3.6 million overwhelming local infrastructure
- Neighboring Formentera already enforces vehicle restrictions and Mallorca plans similar measures for 2026 as the Balearic Islands attract 19 million visitors yearly
