The Formentera Office of Mobility reports that in recent weeks it has informed three car rental companies that they cannot increase their vehicle fleets or begin operations on Formentera during enforcement of formentera.eco, which this summer runs from 15 June to 15 September.

A car rental company authorised to rent only passenger cars requested to increase its fleet with 200 passenger cars and to incorporate 1,000 motor scooters.

A new company requested permission to start a motor scooter rental business.

A third company, which rents vehicles on Eivissa, has requested authorisation for them to access Formentera.

"Under formentera.eco rules, all vehicle rental companies with authorisation for this summer must reduce their fleet by 12%, compared to 2019, as companies in the sector have been told this past month", said Councillor of Mobility, Rafael González. Likewise, the rules don't allow new rental companies to open, added the councillor, nor do they permit rental vehicles from off the island to access Formentera while rules are in effect.

In addition, the Formentera Office of Mobility also communicated to a ride-hailing company that they cannot operate during the regulation period either. From 15 June to 15 September, 49 local taxi drivers (25 ordinary and 24 seasonal) will be authorised to transport passengers.
