Mallorca vehicle cap: plan heads to Parliament
Mallorca could put a cap on vehicles arriving on the island and charge for entry under a proposed law now heading to Parliament. Consell de Mallorca president Llorenç Galmés has asked to present the measure at a plenary sitting on the 9th of next month. The island council approved the proposal on 5 June.
Parliament’s board noted the proposal on 10 June 2026 and ordered its publication in the parliamentary bulletin. Galmés and Fernando Rubio, the island councillor for Territory, Mobility and Infrastructure, have been named to defend it.
Fees, rental-car ceiling and fines
The plan would set a yearly or two-year limit on incoming vehicles, alongside an entry charge whose amount has not yet been fixed. Ferry companies would handle entry permits and collect the charge, while Mallorca residents and seasonal workers would not have to pay it.
It would also impose a maximum number of hire cars. Breaking the rules could bring fines of between 300 and 30,000 euros.
Digital permits and port cameras
Drivers would apply online for permission to enter and remain on Mallorca, through a system to be set out in a tax ordinance. Cameras able to read number plates are planned at the ports.
Non-residents who own a home on Mallorca would be outside the limit for one vehicle. The same exception would cover people from other islands travelling to Mallorca for medical reasons, and Mallorca residents returning for medical or family reasons.
Vehicles used by officially recognised people with reduced mobility, official vehicles and public-service vehicles would not pay the charge. Goods transport and commercial distribution vehicles would also be exempt.
