Mallorca’s Consell president, Llorenç Galmés, has asked to defend the proposed law restricting vehicle access to the island during a plenary session of the Balearic Parliament in September.
In a letter to the regional legislature, Galmés reported that the Consell de Mallorca had approved the proposal during its plenary session on June 5. The text has already been submitted to the Parliament’s governing board for processing and approval. He has requested that the proposal be presented during the plenary session on the 9th of next month.
Parliament begins processing vehicle access law
At its meeting on June 10, 2026, the Parliament’s governing board acknowledged receipt of the proposal and ordered its publication in the official parliamentary bulletin. It also took note of the designation of Galmés and Fernando Rubio, the minister for territorial planning, mobility and infrastructure, to defend the regulation.
The Consell de Mallorca plenary session approved the bill regulating vehicle numbers on June 5. The proposal includes an annual or biennial cap on the number of vehicles allowed to enter Mallorca, as well as a fee for entry to the island.
Shipping companies would be responsible for managing permits, collecting the fees and processing exemptions for residents and temporary workers. The regulation would also establish a maximum number of rental vehicles and fines ranging from 300 to 30,000 euros.
Electronic permits and vehicle exemptions
Entry and stay permits for Mallorca, along with payment of the applicable fees, would be processed electronically through the procedure established in the tax regulations. The plan also provides for cameras equipped with license plate recognition systems to be installed at the ports.
Non-residents who own a home in Mallorca would be exempt from the restriction, although the exemption would apply to only one vehicle. Residents of other islands who need to travel to Mallorca for medical reasons would also be exempt, as would Mallorca residents who are away from the island and need to return for medical or family reasons.
Vehicles belonging to people with reduced mobility would be exempt from the fee, provided the condition is properly documented. Service vehicles and public transport vehicles would also be exempt, along with vehicles used to transport goods and merchandise and vehicles involved in commercial distribution.
