According to the latest report from the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), Fuerteventura currently has over 112,500 registered vehicles, representing an increase of approximately 4,500 units compared to the summer of 2025, including mopeds. This upward trend has been ongoing since the pandemic.
By municipality, Puerto del Rosario leads registrations with nearly 41,300 vehicles, whose average age exceeds fifteen years. In contrast, Betancuria has around 1,200 vehicles, with an average age of a dozen years, and a unique characteristic: more vehicles than residents.
In La Oliva, nearly 25,100 vehicles are registered, with an average age of over fifteen years, influenced by the rental sector. Pájara has close to 16,600 vehicles with an average age similar to the capital.
Tuineje ranks fourth with just over 15,400 officially registered vehicles, notable for having the highest average age in its fleet. Antigua holds the fifth position with approximately 13,000 vehicles, whose average age, according to the DGT, is under fifteen years.
Passenger cars are the predominant type in all municipalities, with Betancuria being the prime example. The island's vehicle fleet is projected to reach 120,000 units before the end of the decade, a significant increase from the approximately 70,000 units recorded fifteen years ago.
The Canary Islands Institute of Statistics (Istac) reports that around 3,500 vehicles were registered in Fuerteventura in 2025, and a similar figure is expected this year. Between January and July, nearly 2,000 new registrations were recorded, led by Pájara and Puerto del Rosario, primarily due to a high number of new passenger car registrations.
