  • From 1 June to 30 September, Ibiza is capping the daily number of vehicles used by non-residents at 20,168 to combat overtourism.
  • Of the vehicle permits, 16,000 are for rental cars, and 4,168 are for private tourist vehicles arriving by ferry, which require a €1 (84p) daily permit obtained online.
  • Caravans must show proof of campsite booking and are banned from wild camping or unauthorised parking.
  • The Ibiza Island Council introduced the cap to promote sustainable tourism, aligning with Balearic government goals. Motorcycles are exempt.
  • Mallorca has also introduced restrictions, with Soller implementing "residents only" traffic zones, prohibiting hire cars from driving through its historic centre.
