License Turmoil in Mallorca: How Many VTCs Does the Island Really Need?

Answer

Why is Mallorca arguing about new VTC licences?

The dispute is about how many chauffeur-driven rental car permits the island can absorb without putting too much pressure on taxis, traffic, and public space. Taxi drivers fear lost fares and more congestion, while VTC operators say they can improve availability and booking options. The core issue is not only the number of licences, but how they are regulated and checked.
