The new cap aims to help ease traffic problems and support more sustainable tourism on the island, Euronews reported.<\/p>\n
Tourists wishing to bring vehicles to Ibiza must obtain a permit costing \u20ac1 (84p) per day through the official website set up by the Consell de Ibiza.<\/p>\n
Of the 20,168 permitted vehicles, around 16,000 will be allocated to rental cars, which are incredibly popular among tourists.<\/p>\n
Around 4,000 are reserved for tourists bringing their own vehicles from the mainland ports of Barcelona, Denia, Valencia, or Palma.<\/p>\n

The new restrictions for tourists visiting Ibiza are already in operation <\/p>\n

Visitors can check whether they need to apply for the permit themselves or if their ferry company will handle the application process.<\/p>\n
The permit system operates throughout the summer restriction period from June 1 to September 30.<\/p>\n
Caravans face additional restrictions and must now demonstrate they have bookings at campsites before entering the island.<\/p>\n
They will no longer be permitted to enter Ibiza if they plan to wild camp or park at the roadside, although motorbikes will be exempt from any restrictions.<\/p>\n
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n The island’s government has also implemented broader measures to address rising anti-tourism sentiment, including limits on cruise ship arrivals and a crackdown on illegal short-term rentals.<\/p>\n Mallorca is set to introduce similar vehicle restrictions from summer 2026, with the Council of Mallorca preparing to publish a draft law shortly.<\/p>\n The President of the Council of Mallorca, Lloren\u00e7 Galm\u00e9s, has said a maximum number of vehicles will be set, with preference given to electric or non-polluting vehicles.<\/p>\n Formentera, located around 20km south of Ibiza, already operates vehicle restrictions during summer months. <\/p>\n Anti-tourist protests have taken place across Spain in recent months <\/p>\n REUTERS<\/p>\n Visitors require permits costing \u20ac6 (\u00a35.06) per day for cars with a minimum charge of \u20ac30 (\u00a325.31), and \u20ac3 (\u00a32.53) per day for motorbikes with a minimum of \u20ac15 (\u00a312.66).<\/p>\n Hybrid vehicles receive a 50 per cent discount, whilst electric vehicles are exempt from fees. Quad bikes, caravans and motorhomes are prohibited during the restriction period.<\/p>\n It comes as Spain deals with swathes of anti-tourist protests, including calls to ban Airbnb to deter Britons and other nationalities from holidaying there.<\/p>\n Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Majorca over the weekend to rally against tourists who are making the lives of locals “unbearable”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British tourists are being warned of new driving rules in a popular tourist destination, which are designed to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":152473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5312],"tags":[346,26647,2000,299,388,12,512,104,183],"class_list":{"0":"post-152472","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-spain","8":"tag-cars","9":"tag-driving-laws","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-lifestyle","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-sgg","15":"tag-spain","16":"tag-travel"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114614604347557987","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Anti-tourist](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/anti-tourist-protests-have-taken-place-across-spain-in-recent-months.jpg\")
