Limited Car Rentals Create Summer Buzz in Ibiza

UK tourists planning a summer escape to Ibiza might find themselves competing for rental cars this season. The Consell de Ibiza has confirmed that only 14,000 rental vehicles will be allowed on the island, significantly fewer than the 24,000 initially requested by car hire companies. The decision, pending approval, follows legislation aimed at controlling vehicle numbers to enhance sustainability on the island. The maximum number of rentals has been reduced from 16,000 last year, responding to deficiencies noted since 2025, ensuring repeat applicants secure a good portion of their previous fleet. Those with airport contracts will receive cars directly, while others are allocated through rounds of distribution, including a select number of electric vehicles. With demand outstripping supply, early booking and flexibility might be key for Brits eager to explore the White Isle by car this summer.
